Feedback & Reports

Arrived at about 8.30 and hiked up to the Edw Pool hoping against hope that there were a couple of salmon waiting for me.
Alas no, the pool was occupied by two otters, most indignant at my arrival. Didn't bother to cast a line and retreated back down to Lady Alexanders. Worked my way down to the end, without success.
Retired for a coffee and a rethink. A pair of Egrets arrived and commenced making an early lunch of the plentiful fry in the margins.
To save a blank, the trout gear came out. I had not seen a single fish rise during the morning, so went the nymph route.
Only managed a single graying, about 8", after fishing hard throughout.
The rain came at about 2 o'clock so decide to call it a day. Walking back to the hut another otter appeared, and just as I was leaving a squadron of goosander arrived.

Day started cloudy and drizzly before becoming sunny. Water was quite high but coloured. Up stream wind most of day made nymphing rather difficult. All fish caught with nymphs - all pretty small.

I was fishing on my own and covered the 3 pools suitable for fishing with a fly with no luck. No fish were showing. I particularly enjoyed fishing Lady Alexanders Catch; a most attractive pool.

I caught a half pound trout which I tried to return but it expired when I was removing the hook.

I noticed 2 people fishing, probably for trout, on the opposite bank near Abernant Stream in the morning.

The grayling have grown on and put up a terrific scrap. My fishing buddy had one knocking 2lb. What a fantastic stretch. Wading staff a must.

Good fishing conditions but no luck with Salmon. Some fresh fish showing in Edw pool. Thank you

Beautiful beat , and lovely fly water . No salmon , but plenty of very aggressive trout.
Fishing for salmon on the upper wye is a little like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Water a bit high which I found made both access and wading very difficult / precarious on all but the middle section. No rises seen but caught 4 fish on heavy nymphs. Missed a few more.

Lovely afternoon. The water was as clear as I have seen it in years. Lower than expected. Caught 3 small WBT. I was introducing / teaching people how to fly cast and fish, so the return was not reflective of the beat.

Have booked before, will book again.

4 WBT and 2 small grayling. Best two brown trout about 1lb 3/4 and 2 1/2 to 3lb. All caught on spiders on droppers with a small flashback goldhead hares ear on the point. Four from the bottom of the beat two from the top. Be careful wading on the top of the beat stones very slippery after low water.
