Feedback & Reports

River didn't look that bad when I arrived mid morning, not much fly life until later on when the occasional fish was rising. Missed several takes but only managed to land one. Unfortunately I had to pack up earlier than intended due to a splitting head ache.

Hello everyone. The weather was changeable. Rain, hail and sun. 11 trout and 1 grayling (all returned to the water) Most of the wet fly with the addition of red color. A few dry flies. Fish took off to each dry fly but there were blind arrows.

11 Trout, 1 Grayling

Bright and sunny, mostly strong gusty wind, very cold. 1 x trout 1/2 lb (estimated & returned) Grey Duster dry; 1 x trout 1/4 lb (estimated and returned) Double Badger dry. Very entertaining Oyster Catchers and Little Egrets. Enjoyed the day not least the peace and quiet.

After yesterday, came back for more!

A different story with the BBC definition of a "moderate breeze" feeling like an arctic gale and interesting interludes with gents in hoodies and fishing lines and a wild swimmer on the opposite bank at the lower end of the beat.

3 trout taken on dry flies and even with the diversions mentioned above an enjoyable day on a lovely beat

An astonishing day; clear blue skies, fantastic scenery and plenty of hungry fish, periodically rising throughout the day.
All taken on dry flies.

Beautiful beat and a wonderfully enjoyable days fishing.

Pretty much a perfect day

All the fish came from the same stretch of fast water, between 10:30am and 2:30pm with a spurt between 12 and 1 when there was a hatch of mostly march browns and sedges (I think). The fish all took a size 12 March Brown dry or a beaded size 18 PTN fished NZ style underneath it. No really small fish among them and they all went back.

Just my lucky day I suppose

2 very small trout from a sporadic morning hatch, only very small fish seen through the day and any evening action curtailed by an Otter dropping out of the Bachawy and patrolling around the pool then down into Gromain.
Sad to see so much slime so early in the year.

Nice to be back on the Wye.

Water low and clear. A hatch of March Browns and Olives around midday then again around 5pm.

One grayling on a small dry and one trout on a hare's ear nymph.

It was a sunny, warm day for early April. The river was running fairly low and very clear. The length of the beat was pretty quiet. I managed to land two very small WBT on PTN.

Enjoyable but fruitless day, river at a good height.
Lack of thermals stopped play.
