Feedback & Reports

4 trout best being around 14 inches. 5 Oos grayling. All returned.

First visit to this beat access excellent (parking in the layby). Wading out over the gravel manageable with caution with the low water as it is. Great day out as you get with many beats on the Wye. Will return.

Also a bright day with some cloud; generally some wind, with a few gusts. River very low again this early in the summer. Fish seen rising on the far side/bank. Cast a variety of klinks, para's, other dry flies in smaller sized to receive quick bites.

A couple of nice specimens and some very pretty trout, but nothing too sizeable. All fish safely returned to the river as usual.

4 Trout, 6 Grayling

Weather changed every 5 minutes but fish were in the mood. Occasional surface feeding but all but 2 fish caught on beaded hares ear nymph. All by me, my fellow angler a novice, proved impervious to my good advice

2 x trout at14 inches, Waterhen Bloa and CDC Shuttlecock, 1x out of season grayling 9 inches for HM. Cloudy day with a rather sharp upstream wind. River still extremely low.

Fished from 5-8pm. Warm sunny evening. Two trout caught on the beat near the fishing hut on a dry fly (large olive dun) towards the opposite bank. A few fish rising, just fished the initial downstream part of the beat up to the hut as this occupied the time I had available.

River still very low. No salmon seen. 3 small trout caught on salmon fly.

Despite having risen 30cm after Thursday’s rain the river was still low (0.8m on the Erwood gauge, dropping 5cm during the day). This gave good access to the pools but the flow at the bottom of the beat was a bit too slow to swing a salmon fly. There were hatches of sedges, olives and larger mayflies, and fish were rising to them. Four trout to 3/4lb but no salmon seen or caught.
