Feedback & Reports

First time on this stretch and it was pushing through following the earlier rain and very coloured. We wandered the stretch trying to locate some fish, but to now avail. Loved the stretch and will return at some stage.

Caught from five different swims covering the whole beat.
Barbel to 6.5lb chub all between 3 and 4 lb. A good day.

Nice to be out on the river again. River is still coloured. Due to heavy afternoon rain fished only until 15:00. Managed to catch 1 Chub. Pellet and feeder method.

Day two of our wye adventure, after a prolific day on lower canon bridge saw a change in the weather/pressure and as a result, although all the swims in the first field looked like they would hold plenty of fish only 3 chub to me and 2 barbel and 2 chub for my friend with a stonking 16 hours on the river with a gap at midday. We felt like we really had to try every swim in order to catch. With no indication of fish coming in the first 45 minutes in each swim we moved up and down the bank in order to locate the fish.
All in all a cracking couple of days and more fish than we have ever caught before on our local river the Derwent making us thirsty for more Wye action sooner rather than later. Thanks WUF.

A good day on this well maintained fishery. A nice Barbel of 8lbs 8oz and 2 small ones around 2lbs each. Plenty of Chub feeding all day long'mostly around 3lbs each.
Lots of wildlife sightings including Kingfishers, Cuckoos, Buzzards and an Otter. Looking forward to returning in September.

River was still high and fast. Had to use heavy feeders. However we enjoyed the peace and quite, also noted that the swims had been strimed out which made our life easier.

The river was in flood and heavily coloured but levels were just starting to come down. We fished the lower beat but a lot of the pegs were unfishable with difficulty in holding the bottom when you did manage to find a suitable place to fish.
We did manage 3 Barbel to 5lb and 3 Chub to 3lb on pellet so not a complete disaster.
