Feedback & Reports

Another lovely day on the Wye. Fished from on of the middle Croys, under the willow trees on the far bank rolling luncheon meat. Only able to fish for a few hours around lunchtime, but still managed to catch five beautifully conditioned Chub between 2-3lbs. As on my previous day, a large number of canoeists passed by. Latterly, some youngsters arrived to jump of the Croys and allow the current to take them downstream. They were asked to move further downstream, even though they wanted to jump in by the Hut ! They did so begrudgingly !

Enjoyed a terrific day, although plagued by canoeists, paddleboarders and kayakers (going upstream !). However, fishing was tough at the Luggs mouth end, with just one lovely condition Chub of around 4lb. Persevered, rolling luncheon meat without any further bites. Moved up to the Hut from mid-afternoon and fished same tactics with instant reward. Action was hectic, with nine further Chub ranging from 1.5 to 3lbs all on rolling meat until dusk. Sadly, for all my efforts a Wye Barbel eluded me this time. Toward dusk two poachers arrived downstream and I requested them to leave, which they did in good grace. One spoke in a very broad Herefordshire accent, both were drinking what looked like cans of lager. They had walked up from the Luggs Mouth end and were spinning from the Croys. They left in the direction they came.

3 x "local" rods began fishing at 6.30pm for the evening session. River very high and difficult to find a swim. Managed to drop into some slack water on the long right hand bend before the Pylon swim. Managed 1 x Barbel must have been over 8lbs taken on pellet close in.
At around 8.30pm, 2 male swimmers went past in wet suits mid-stream being carried along on the flood. Been fishing for over 50 years and never seen that before!!!
