Feedback & Reports

A pretty challenging days fishing with lots of fast running, very coloured water. It rained most of the day and no fly or fish life was evident. Wading was only limited and tretcherous at times making it difficult to reach many areas of the river. I did hook one medium sized grayling, but it was unwilling to be netted!

Still a beautiful stretch of river, and I look forward to returning when conditions are back to normal.

Water very coloured. No fish seen or caught.

6 Brown Trout, all c.1llb. Two taken. 3 caught on dry CDC F fly. 3 on Snipe and Purple and Partridge and Orange spiders. A great day on a productive beat, followed by an excellent pint in The Bell.

No fish caught. A very cold April day with no flies hatching and no fish seen.

Freezing cold morning with snow meant we could only get out in the afternoon. Good water level and easy wading. We didn't see any rises or any fish on the river at all. Reported strong smell of sewage and gas rising from the river adjacent to The Bell.

Good days fishing, Very quiet to start but at 1230 the sun came out and had three brown trout in quick succession in the Bridge pool. All returned. Then too good a lunch to return to fish in the PM. Thanks.

lovely sunny day but not much activity on the river, several fish rising to a small hatch dark olives in pool just below the bridge in the afternoon otherwise river appeared devoid of fish. Caught 1 trout here on a small March brown ~ 6 oz. River was very low. Pools that were waist deep this time last year were only knee deep today so suspect river would fish better if we had a bit of rain. Do the fish move upstream when the water is very low like this ? The pools in the river just upstream are quite a bit deeper than on the Skenfrith section.

Good flow of water, no fish seen or rises, quite a chilly day & probably too early in the season, a pleasant blank.

An absolutely beautiful, clear frosty morning. Water levels perfect as well but not a fish in the net today. Arrived about 10 or so and was probably fishing around 10:30 - 3:30. Plumbed the likely holes with nymphs and had a few knocks but no fish to the net today. Good luck and enjoy. Think I shall next get to the upper Wye and perhaps find some fish in a bit better numbers.

Mixed day of weather on a fairly swollen, muddy river. Chest waders mandatory, particularly for bottom section. Variety of nymphs used with no success. Pretty spot and generally good access.
