Feedback & Reports

Arrived to find at least six foot of flood water on river and only one part of the stretch fishable. We all worked hard all day for 1 barbel about 4lb and an eel. Both caught on pellet. Very nice, well looked after stretch of water.

After heavy rain the day before, the river had risen and coloured up slightly so we were hoping for a better day's sport. We started at the bottom of the fishery and worked our way slowly back upstream trying most of the swims. Although my mate Ben caught 1 barbel during the morning it wasn't till the afternoon that we caught any further fish. I caught my 4 barbel in the last 3 hours of the day from one of the middle swims so was a happy man in the end! Definitely a lovely stretch of water and very nicely manged too!

Had a great day with all of us catching. All fish on pellet & feeder. Good river access & parkihg. Top advice from Colin the keeper who put us onto the fish, a charming man who it was a pleasure to meet. The barbel were from 4 to 8lb.

River was a foot up but going down, river running clear. Weather was warm but windy, all fish taken on caster and maggot. Could not get a bite on any other bait. Would like to fish the beat in the spring, great day for the three of us.

Very heavy rain all morning but river very low and clear.
Began fishing at 1pm. Tough fishing even in the hotspot.
One barbel to 6lb on pellet.

Dads 70th birthday and even though the barbel didn't come to play the chub certainly did with him taking 26, including a few over 5lbs. Dad and Colin the Gillie had good old chat and laugh. Brilliant day, Thank you WUF.

Rained all day, v.wet, v.muddy. A consequence of fishing through a prolonged downpour is a reluctance to try different swims or methods; perhaps that was my mistake. Sat it outfor a while. Anything but today! Did take a roaming rod and a bag of bait to squelch and slither my way to the island pegs, which looked a tad more inviting but in truth produced no more action than original choice. Just a smattering of chub at widely-spaced intervals, with not a sniff of a barbel. Disappointing start to a two-day trip.

First time on the beat, struggled to find fish in the morning. Moved a few times then we located a few fish. We had 7 barbel between us, 1 chub, 1 salmon par and 1 dace. The river was low and clear. We will be back and thanks for the Wye and Usk Foundation for their information on the stretch.

Arrived at about 11 and the angler already fishing had caught 1 barbel and lost another. The river had cleared a bit since Tuesday. Fished with pellet and meat for a couple of hours with hardly a twitch so switched to maggot feeder and the bites started coming. Finished with 5 chub 1 trout and a dace. A nice stretch to fish with nicely mown walkways. Thanks wuf.
