1 Sea Trout, 2 Pike

2 Chub

Fished various swims, trying different methods and baits but a very quiet day with no fish caught.

With the river rising, gale force winds from the north west and the temperature dropping 5 degrees since the day before it meant that conditions were not best. 2 Otters playing in the river didn't help either.

Hardstanding parking was great and 4x4 access to halfway down the stretch looked good to; for those who dont have it the walk is flat but travel light as its a good walk!

The pegs/swims from the weir garden down to the end of the stretch had reasonable access (for the wye) although some of the overhanging trees at the weir garden needed tending to so that anglers can fish in winter (I guess in summer it would be ok). The access to the fast shallow run above the weir garden (for Grayling and Trout) was poor needing over grown brambles cutting back. The access to the deeper water at the top of the section was non existent; totally overgrown. All of this work would take very little effort from the fishery owner; a couple of days work at most - for the money charged customers should get a better experience!

On the right day the fishing here I believe would be exception however we only managed 5 minnows and 1 small pike.

No fish , no sign of fish , Waste of Time and money !!!!

Big disappointment after traveling 4hours to fish a so called prolific stretch. Maybe recent frosts didn’t help but tried a range of baits and methods to no avail. Pretty stretch but bank work needs addressing, not a place to go if mobility is a problem, not likely to return as a lot of money for 1 chub.

Weather was the corporate this time. Cold and raining but still managed to catch from the same swim as yesterday. Only fishing a 3rd of the way out
