Feedback & Reports

Fished after overnight rain so river was higher than expected and like turbid tea making wading and fishing very tricky. No luck despite trying a variety of methods across the beat - spiders, nymphs and klink/dink between us - we'll be back though as this beat has fished well for us previously with ample trout and grayling, some big...

1 trout nymphing and lost 2 more. Beautiful beat.

Absolutely stunning fishery. Great mix of riffles and glides. Decent spread of rising fish. Good mix of grayling and wbt. Will definitely return!

Delayed booking anywhere till the last minute due to the threat of rain and that there was a bit more water in the river but decided to give it a go.

Arrived about 10:00 and fishing the top two pools getting about 10 fish between me and the old man including a nice trout and grayling. Wondered off down the bottom after lunch but not much happening down there except for some enthusiastic small ones though we did manage another 5. It seems when the water is higher the bottom pools don’t fish as well? Could also just be incompetence.

Finished back up the top with another 5. The trout that live up in the deep gutters at the top end are always noticeably darker in colour than the ones who reside in the faster water.

All fish caught on various dry flies and safely returned. Another good day at one of our favourite beats on the upper wye. Hopefully weather and time depending we’ll get one more visits in before the season finishes. Thank you
