Feedback & Reports

Found directions very good, although missed the entrance first time. Map supplied was very detailed and helpful considering this was my first river outing. Some good fish showing at Bathing Pool and Armies Pool but was down stream of these fish.
Caught two beautifully marked Browns - 8" long on DT8 floating line - Pheasant Hothead/Teal Blue and Silver. Good takes and hard fighters for their size. Look forward to returning for another great day out.

Glorious day fishing with my 2 sons - their first time on the Wye. Weather bright and sunny with little breeze made the conditions more favourable for the fish rather than the angler! One small wild brownie taken on a small grey hares ear fly, one small grayling taken on a reddish nymph. Great day despite the lack of fish.

My sardine can brimmeth over! More pleasant day than forecast with reasonable hatch and trout rising in places. All WBT caught were very small but looked to be in excellent condition.

Low water exposed pools and runs throughout the beat. Warm and overcast weather provide great conditions for a catch.
The vast majority of the fist caught were small trout, below 6" in the faster water. Two nice grayling were caught in the early afternoon. Nearly all of the fish were caught on spider patterns such as Greenwell Spider.

2 small trout caught on greenwell glory. Returned to the river.

A beautiful spot but fly life was poor, certainly I expected it to be better. Predominant hatch was midge and they were not being taken until later on about 6ish when I took the two grayling on an emerger midge both around 8 inch.

2 Grayling

Hot with low water (6" on the gauge). Mostly casting practice.

A hard days fishing with almost every pattern tried but only result was 2 brown (returned) at about half pound and 6 very small brownies under 4 inches. Little to no hatch or rises. Water level about summer average and very clear.

The weather looked perfect - a soft warm day with high cloud. Fish were enjoying themselves too - plenty of fly lie around in the air, only saw a few yellow mays and olives hatching though. River getting very low but that does mean areas that can otherwise be difficult to access are available to cover. Trout to 10" and lovely fat grayling to 17". All fish caught on dries - para ginger quill, deerhair sedge and Griffiths gnat. A clonker blipping in a deep channel took the gnat and took me straight down to the rocks and cut the leader - ho hum!
