Feedback & Reports

3 fish caught between two rods. All hard fighting rainbows taken on fly. All fish returned. Beautiful location despite the conditions. Will definitely return.

A strong blustery wind meant that I caught more leaves than fish but I did manage to catch 2 nice grayling and a 12oz trout on North Country Spiders. Rain sadly brought an enjoyable day to an early end.

CMS - Barbel 8.10lbs, 7.11lbs and 7.3lbs caught on pellet from Legg Meadow swims.
Stay at Inn on the Wye from 9th - 14th Sept - excellent
accommodation.

Middle Hill Court is always challenging but holds good numbers of large barbel. It was great to see the work done on access to the swims, much safer and well appreciated, thanks. We had a good day with around a dozen barbel to 9lb 6oz and a sprinkling of chub to 4lb on pellet and feeder from several swims.

This was our first time on this venue and after walking the beat we we decided to fish the swims above Carey Islands. After a slow start the barbel eventually responded to the steady feed and we shared a catch of 20 barbel and 3 chub caught on a variety of baits. This is a wonderfull fishery in a peaceful isolated setting partly due to the difficlt access from the car parks to the river if you don't drive a 4x4. The upper car park and paths to the river need to be sign posted as it is easy to take the wrong path and end up in a thickly overgrown deadend track as we unfortunately did.

First of five days fishing on WUF waters. The river looked quite low but still fished well enough. We ended up with 3 barbel and 25 chub, all caught on pellets and boillies. All in all a very enjoyable day.

Too windy to do what I really wanted to do today which was floater fish for carp. Plenty of roach and perch on the float though and a lovely golden rudd.

The Monnow is nearly always kind to me but today she was off form. Not a fish showing, careful searching of the likely spots, all to no avail. Oh well, thats my trouting on the Wye system done for this year. Back for a salmon trip next sunday. Hope she is kinder.

5lb 2oz chub and one Barbel of 2lb or so though, very thin throughout it's body, gaunt in fact, both from Legg meadow. An expensive couple of fish in that I didn't get there til 6pm, other venues taking my attention, and anyhows it would have been a bit tight and too cosy for me with the other 3 anglers, nice chaps chatting to them, as I'm pretty sure we would all have ended up on Legg Meadow swims in the Summer levels conditions. Last of the balmy evenings too, (please being on the rain!) but after two good fish lost, one close-in to a bent hook which must have been a dud, and another to a hook pull powering off on the far bank, then two rigs lost to snags, it was time to call time.

First time on the Lugg and what a lovely feature packed stretch it is. We only fished for the morning on our way back home, so didn't really get to explore as much as we would like. Bright sunshine again but 4 Chub caught, 2 being good 5 pounders, definately want to return and do this beat more justice. The Foundations service spot on once again, thanks!
