Feedback & Reports

The river level was normal to low for time of year, about 1ft visibility. It was quite mild but rained all day. Started fishing on the crease in the bottom swims which produced an eel on cheesepaste but otherwise was strangely quiet on the feeder and lead. Tried bread, meat and pellet with no success. Roved upstream and caught good chub (3-4lb) from undercut banks. Moved back to the crease at the bottom for the afternoon and started to get knocks on boilie. Was hoping for a barbel. However, the rain and wind intensified and we gave up around 4pm when the brollies took off! Fantastic wildlife - a flock of siskins, chiffchaff, redpoll, Barnacle goose, goosander and buzzards kept us entertained despite the weather.

6 Chub, 1 Other

All fish caught on feeder. The river level was normal winter level and I would have expected more fish.

Just one of those slow days.

River looked good ! Good beat but picked wrong swim!slow for bites,very windy missed all of very few bites!! Just great to be on the wye though

Tried various spots and eventually caught at the bottom end casting into the crease between the fast water and the back eddy. 16mm Halibut pellet did the trick.

Just one chub. Water only 7c that's probably why the barbel didn't show

1 Chub

My last trip of the season and conditions not brilliant bright sunshine and a water temp of 42.1 deg but as usual the Wye did not disappoint,3chub 3lb 8oz,4lb 6oz and 5lb 3oz all taken on meat,I would like to thank the WUF and all of the landowners for giving me the opportunity to fish this stunning river I am looking forward to next season already.

Afternoon session on lower swims. 4 good chub on meat /boilies. Best 4 1/2 lb. Lost a good barbel at end of session at the net.

4 Chub

Hard going as 4 of us fished for 2 chub and a chublet. River up, coloured, and dropping fast but plenty of spots to drop in. Cooler temps must have put the fish off somewhat. Next season!

A complete blank between two Anglers in reasonable conditions, very disappointing. I believe the River is suffering badly due to the well documented pollution issues. Please note that entry through the gate into the field is no longer possible due to very deep Troughs, presumably caused by Farm vehicles and so parking is only available for 2 Vehicles. Until this is rectified the Foundation should inform Anglers of the situation. I recommend the Foundation pay a visit to see for themselves

1 barbel 7lb 2 plus a decent chub. Slow day and the water felt cold although I didn't have a thermometer.
