Feedback & Reports

First time on this beat, conditions were not ideal with blue skies and high temperatures. Fish came throughout the day to pellet feeder and trotted meat. Will definitely return when water levels are higher. Yet another stunning and peaceful stretch of the river Wye which is a credit to WUF for enabling access.

Cracking beat with good access through fields. Loads of places to explore and different swims all the way along. Fished all day roughly catching every half hour or so. An absolute must and a credit to whoever owns this beat. Thanks for a great days fishing I thoroughly enjoyed it.

One of the most picturesque W&UF beats and always a pleasure to fish The Creel. River very low but still managed to locate a few fish, including a 3 lbs eel on rolled luncheon meat...

Enjoyable session on this stretch tonight for just a few hours. Managed numerous chub and a decent barbel all to the touch ledger method.

A beautiful stretch of water overlooked by a very pretty church. Baited up 3 swims along the far bank trees and let them "soak" for a good hour whilst setting up and eating lunch. First chuck, a barbel of over 7 pounds. Second chuck, another of 6 pounds, followed by nothing for a hour. Moved to one of the other swims and had 4 chub to around 2 pounds before again, that swim died. Not a tap from the third swim. Rebooted the first and second swims whilst walking below the Rapids for a spot of stick and pin fishing. With bread flake on a size 10, third run through a chub of around 3 pounds fell in the very fast, boiling water, taking nearly 10 minutes to come in due to the strong flow. Several more fish fell to the same method, all over 2 pounds and fighting like the devil in the strong flow. What a way to catch fin perfect fish in a wonderful location. The best workout my stick/pin outfit as ever had. Eventually returned to the first barbel peg and fished to last light, with only one proper bite, leading to a snapped hook length after only a few seconds. A disappointing finish to an otherwise lovely day. Peace and quiet reigns in this beautiful location. Thanks to W&UF for providing the opportunity to fish on such a great river.

Really enjoyable day on this stretch with loads of water to explore and the barbel playing ball. Managed 10 fish in the end by wading out in the current touch ledgering. Met the owner who was a really pleasant chap and more than happy to spend a short while chatting. Many thanks.

Beautiful beat on Wye. First visit to this section of the river but not the last. I fished till 16:00. Fish not too keen on feeding but managed to catch 2 barbel & 4 chub. All fish to halibut pellet.

Lovely day on Wye. Very good fishing, but from 1 pm weather changed, pressure went up, strong wind started to blow. Fish refused to feed, and we were struggling to get a bite. We managed just few barbel and chub on evening.

Lovely beat although you are only able to fish two of the three fields on the beat. For the fee paid I would have liked the option to fish in the first field.
