Feedback & Reports

Had a great days sport on 31st August on the Lower Carrotts & Luggsmouth beat. Had 4 barbel and 3 chub, the best 2 barbel around the severn pound mark.

All were taken next to the fishing hut on halibut pellets.

25 Plus Grayling ranging from 7 inches to 14 inches.
3 small Brown trout biggest 8 inches. Fished beat using Czech Nymphs.

2 barbel to two rods, again caught on halibut pellet. Both fish caught within 2 minutes of each other and then very quiet for the rest of the day.

All in all a very enjoyable weekends fishing.

I am a fly fisherman but I like a go with my son for the barbel. Yesterday was outstanding and I have to say we lost count and some of the fish took an age to land. My son begged that we stop as he was exhausted after 5 in a row.

I hope that that everyone treat the fish with respect and uses strong enough tackle and barbless hooks as some of the fish caught had other traces in. Thank you WUF. Didn't see a salmon by the way.

29th August, Arrow Mill R30: 6 x trout to 13 inches.
30th August, Monkland R31: 1 x trout 7 inches. Bit of a jungle at this time of the year this one, at least for elderly people like me, and I just gave up with it in the end due to lack of access.

Wyebank & Courtfield - 4 barbel, 7-8 pounds (fishery busy with 5 other anglers which restricted movement between swims, which was disappointing)

Backney - 10 chub, 2 eels, 1 barbel - 8 pounds.

Middle Hill Court - 10 barbel - 5-9 pounds, 2 chub up to 4.5 pounds.

White House - 3 barbel - 5-7.5 pounds, stretch alive with dace.

Another great couple of days fishing this beat. Despite the colour of the water on Saturday 28th we took nine trout and four grayling ranging from 1/2 - 1 pound.

The 29th saw much better conditions water levels slightly lower and clearer with more grayling than trout taking wet flies. The day finished with seven grayling, four trout, and two very happy anglers.

Brown trout - approx 20. Grayling - approx 15. Fishing and area was superb. Good instructions to find beat. Will be back maybe to try another part of the Wye.

11 barbel to three rods all caught at top end of beat on Halibut pellet. Most fish 4-9lb with a couple of 2lb'ers.
Very hot day with two fish before 10am and then nine more after 4pm.

I.M. - 2 Grayling around 10".

T.H. - 3 Grayling around 8/10", 2 Trout around 12"

All fish returned in good condition. Good day out in lovely location. Most fish caught on dry fly.
