Feedback & Reports

Barbel 6-7lbs, lovely condition. Chub 3-4lbs, very quiet due to NE wind, still, always a beautiful spot to fish.

Looked perfect, day gradually turning colder with wind from the north, resulted in 1 x barbel, 8lb+, & 1 chub on meat. Otter in adjacent swim didn't seem to do any better but provided entertainment.

Whitney Court, 1 cock fish about 13lb to a syndicate rod on a cascade. Perfect conditions with several fish showing but very hard to tempt. Pity that so few rods are out.

1 Salmon

Nothing caught.

River was rising and the colour of cocoa with all manner of debris, but mainly leaves and weed, in it. Impossible to hold position if we were more than a couple of feet from the bank and the slacks were full of weed and assorted debris. Needless to say we caught nothing. The only plus point was beer at £3 per pint at the Boat Inn.

Although we didn't catch many fish, four Barbel to 9lb 12oz and a chub of about 3lb, we had a very enjoyable day. River was low and clear but heavy rain during the day gave an indication that the next day might not be so enjoyable.

4 Barbel, 1 Chub

Challenging day which saw us fish a lot of swims on a very low and clear river but pleasing to get a few fish all the same.

2 Chub, 3 Pike

A very hard day with the river woefully low. Both of us blanked despite trying just about everything.
Fantastic stretch and our thanks to Terry for the very warm welcome, tea, and lift down to the river.
We will definitely return when we have had some rain.

Last day of weeks fishing, river still low, warmed up again. Both on feeder-hemp/pellet and mag combination.
Barbel from 5 to 9lbs, chub 3-4lbs and silvers.

Lovely day, first time on Whitney. A big beat it is, lots of choice and very pleasant scenery to go with it. It is as the brochure says really - looks a great coarse fishery for the barbel and chub hunters, but you would need the inside info of Mr Ward here, as there's so much ground to cover. For the flyfisherman there's so much easy wading over gravel, totally different from the areas above Hay. Enjoyed it, thanks wuf.
