Feedback & Reports

First visit to the Wye didn't dissapoint, once we settled in the bottom pool (listen to peoples advice) we caught steadily all day, the weather didn't seem to affect the fishing to much with the temperature about 25 degrees and sunny, boat traffic was quite light and most were respectful. All fish caught on pellets and feeders - take loads we got through 10 between us. Best advice - just enjoy it.

Weather was extremely hot on the day I fished and so I didn't start fishing until 6.30pm, fishing until dusk. A very enjoyable evenings angling on this lovely beat.

John Murphy's party fished all week finishing on Friday 15th. Caught steadily throughout the week with barbel to around 8lbs from bottom pool and Wyebank pool and lots of chub. John caught 7-8 barbel every day in fairly difficult conditions of constantly high water and chub to 5lbs with lots in the 3-4lb range. At least 70 good barbel through the week and lots of small ones too and loads of chub. Could have caught plenty more if fished until dark more consistently, usually finished around 7pm.

Well, what can I say about this brilliant red letter day? The water level was down at its summer level so we decided to fish the bottom pool - what a good decision this was. Started fishing about 11am till dusk. Using feeder & pellet tactics we caught barbel ranging from 1lb -7lb, chub 2-4lb. Numbers caught myself - 32 barbel, 24 chub; Ian - 12 barbel, 24 chub; Alan - 8 barbel, 12 chub. Must thank Don for his help & advice.

River up slightly, fish caught on pellet wagler and feeder. Be warned this is a very snaggy stretch lots of feeders lost on snags. This is a very good stretch with good access but is very expensive tackle wise.

Fished 4.30pm until 9.30pm. The river has a foot at least on normal level with colour. We fished groundbait feeder with pellet on the crease. Barbel to around 7lbs. Wildlife including buzzards and swifts topped by a dipper.

Another great days fishing on the Wye. Fished Wyebanks wharf swim from 04.30 till 13.00. We had 20 barbel to 8lb 1oz and 15 chub. Got snapped lots of times and lost lots of feeders but will be back regardless.

Second day of two days and a lot better weather for sitting on the bank. The river dropped slowly during the day and I fished two sessions, one first thing in the morning the second in the evening, thereby avoiding the canoeists. Plenty of fish caught with a specimen barbel at 10lb 5oz the highlight of the day. Saw Don on both days, always a pleasure. It is worth mentioning that a fair amount of work has been done to improve the access and provide more swims.
