Feedback & Reports

Spent a few hours basically just exploring a new beat (for me). The issue of the day was whether the river was (a) completely unfishable - being at 2 ft in height and about 1 ft visibility - or (b) just marginally fishable, a conceptual point which left me with about one percent hope as I dredged a fast-sink line through some shallower (I assume) runs. The issue was, however, resolved by an angler from a neighbouring beat who told me he had had a good pull, so it was option (b) after all. No fish actually seen, but they are evidently there.

Fished the Chapel catch for an hour. When I got there the river looked dirty and then got even dirtier
Saw a fish rise in the Pumphouse pool. Gave up in disgust No fish caught

Perfect conditions as far as I'm concerned as landed my first ever salmon. 10am from Llangoed pool on a black and yellow flying C - 90cm/approx 18lb. Swam away after short recovery. Next goal is a fly caught fish.

1 Salmon

2 hour single run through the Chapel: NTR.

River 1ft 10" and 3ft vis. Fished the lower section for a couple of hours at lunchtime. Saw 3 fish show...encoyraging for the upper Wye in April!...but failed to interest anything other than trout with a deep fished Black and yellow. Water still cold.

River up and coloured so did not fish

A good sized clean looking fish lost from the orchard nothing else seen apart from a few trout and a couple of otters. Beautiful morning to be on the river.
