Feedback & Reports

Lovely day on a very picturesque beat, river was slightly coloured but not very high. Caught 3 trout around 9 inches on a Greenwells Glory and missed about 10 takes.

6 grayling caught between 1lb and 2lb each. 3 caught on dry fly and three on Czech nymph. All released.

Classic estate lake fishing. Very shallow in the margins, maximum depth we found was under the Oaks but didn't plumb the far side so may be deeper holes. Carp there in numbers, hooked 3 margin fishing, landed one beautiful mirror of 15lbs, lost the other 2 in 10inches of water as they bolted at close range. Numerous Roach, Rudd, Chub, Perch and Eels later in the day when the carp had retreated under the trees. Had hoped to surface fish but a strong wind blew directly up the lake and made presentation impossible.
60 percent of bank not accessible so when carp followed the wind made it impossible to reach them as I was only float fishing.
Another great venue, didn't see another soul all day, will be back to try again.
Thanks to WUF for making these great venues available.

Perfect conditions only fished 09:00 to 16:00, two barbel both around 8lb taken on pellet.

Sunny and warm, river slightly coloured but not high. Yes the beat is 1.5 miles long but note the description of this beat states that 'access in and out of the river is tricky in the wooded areas'. An understatement! We found that accessing the entire beat was impossible and couldnt find a way through the 'jungle' in either the upper or lower woods and couldn't get to the lower weir which was disappointing. However, there were still plenty of nice runs and open areas to fish. There wasn't a great deal showing but we managed 2 small grayling in the day and 3 browns to around 1lb at the death on small tups and tung head nymphs.

Wonderful afternoon on a beautiful stretch of river. Fish were hard to come across though and after loosing one fish on a gold head nymph in some fast water I didn't manage to catch anything until dusk when a Deers Hair Sedge tucked under the far bank managed to produce a hard fighting fish of about 12 inches. Lovely!

One Barbel and 7 Chub caught, all were in good condition and of varying sizes. All of the fish were caught on boilies and pellets and released after capture. Fishing was slow as the river was quite high.

Another lovely day out on the Wye, bright ccnditions did not help fishing but a few Barbel to around 7lb graced my net on a variety of baits.

9 barbel 4lb to 7lb 8oz & 4 chub all caught on pellet.

Saw a few salmon splashing but no pulls. Spectacularly beautiful beat.
