Feedback & Reports

Have been to this beat before the change. Please note that you need to do your home work to get to gate and drive into parking space. Its easier to approach it from the South, so that you can turn RIGHT into entrance. Worth the effort as this is a very enjoyable beat with plenty of water to play with. Again, across and down made the day and had x 4 to the net. Best was about 10/12'' which gave a good account of it self. Weather not to bad with wind being the biggest problem.

No fish caught. Did manage to break the butt section of my rod though.

Washed off . River rising and coloured .

Very good fishing day

Drizzle and showers all day, but not as bad as forecasted. Up stream breeze that fluked about in late afternoon. Slight tinge to water colour. Some rises throughout the day but not consistent. Fished nymphs and spiders, in various combinations, through the faster water. Fish caught on both patterns.

A hot day with bright sun didn’t hinder the annoying son in law who caught all but 1! Next time I’m just going to take notes!

A cloudy day to start with but cleared by mid afternoon. The margins of the river are full of slime where there is little flow… not good to see. A good few sedges around but only a few upwings… there was an egg laying mayfly spinner doing her best to change that!

Rising Fish seemed to be localised. Plenty of trout around including a very healthy number of small fish - we did have 3 around 17 inches though. Also one which looked nothing like a typical spotty Wye fish … this one just had a few large black spots. All trout carrying argulus lice.

Extending my casting to cover a fish rising towards the far bank I thought I had just better cover the water near a protruding rock. The flu disappeared in to a tiny blip and all hell broke loose as a very large trout breached the surface … and threw the hook! Ah well I know where he is for the next time

This was my first time fly fishing a river alone, having been once before (guided) and have fished stocked lakes for 5 or 6 years on and off. It was very hot (approx 29 deg C), I fished from approx 2pm to 7pm and took 2 brownies opposite the hut in the pool area on a yellow klinkhammer type thing (both returned). Will upload photos once this gets approved..
