Feedback & Reports

Arrived at just after 6am, the river was falling and around 0.8m at Ross. The water was still fairly coloured.
I decided to fish the wooded section, where under the water conditions, there was one fishable swim. The fishing was fairly slow throughout the day, and the canoe/inflatable and wake boarding traffic was pretty much non-stop until 6pm, most were courteous, but for a couple of groups I had to wind in.
During the main part of the day, I caught 3 Barbel, best around 7lb and one Chub.
During the evening the Chub started a small flurry of feeding, with a couple of them around the 5lb mark.
All fish were caught using a feeder and Halibut pellet as hook bait.
The evening time was lovely on this stretch, once the road and river traffic subsided.
Thank you again for the river access and an overall good days fishing.

First time here, a beautiful spot. The drive across from Bromyard and the views approaching the water are almost worth the trip in themselves. Met a pair of other anglers just stopping for lunch when I arrived who kindly gave me some tips and suggestions - thanks chaps if you're reading! Blustery, mixed skies, no fish rising, so chopped and changed a pair of wets walking slowly up the left hand side. Complete silence other than skylarks, a pair of cronking ravens and the sheep. Small black patterns with a flash of silver seemed to be the order of the day, catching around a dozen dark, hard fighting upland trout. The wind died and the clouds completely disappeared later in the evening. Was hoping this might precipitate some dry fly action, but instead the fish seemed to vanish. Made for lovely conditions for a picnic tea before the drive home though. Saw a bonus hen harrier on the way out too!

Never fished Talybont during the Summer. Water levels were very low with much of the bank exposed, but it meant we could fish the far wooded bank. Fished it hard. Covered a lot of water. Didn't get so much as a pull and my mate picked up a single brownie right at the end of the session. Beautiful location and, despite blanking, a really enjoyable day out.

We used two spinning rods with devon minnows. The river had a lot of colour in it and we saw very little sign of fish.

All fish between 13” and 16”. Most were caught on nymphs with the others on an Elk hair Caddis. Good to be back on the Wye.
