This report from Sat 23rd August Home fishery on the busiest canoe weekend of the year!! Fished this beat for the first time. River was a lot slower and deeper than the previous beat, the weather was overcast and a light shower. I was not sure what to expect and I can now see why you can only fish with one rod. Again, large open feeder with a long leader, no.10 barbless hook. My choice of bait was ground bait with pellet casters, spicy hemp and crushed boilies in the feeder and small boilie on the hair. Then the heart-stopping experience started with 3 big barbel well into double figures and I was absolutely shattered. These fish fight like steam trains when hooked. This has been one of my greatest fishing experience days, many thanks to the owners and WUF for this great fishery. We get mixed feedback for Home fishery but the potential of this beat puts a lot in the shade. Yes it is a long walk from the car to the top end and yes you have to use your eyes to find the swims and yes once you have walked for 10 minutes to get to the bottom end, along a lovely water meadow, hardly a killer, you have 1.25 miles of gorgeous meadows to walk. For goodness sake if you plan a trip follow the link on the booking page to the Home fishing where to fish guide. lowerwyefishing.co.uk/where-to-fish-home-beat. It is pretty clear to me that hardly anyone uses this website which is a shame, because if they did they might realise Home is a lighly managed section of river where wild fishing is for a lot of it the order of the day and if that doesnt suit dont book it. On the other hand if you are a skilful fisherman and want to fish a lightly fished water with an above average chance of catching specimen barbel then I suggest you give it a go.
