Feedback & Reports

No salmon caught or seen. Just one surprisingly feisty brown trout at about 2lbs took a Sunray Shadow (c&r) just before a huge hatch of March Browns.

No salmon seen or felt. Great hatch of LDO from 12-1.30 taken advantage of at the flats with a CDC olive.

Nil for salmon, although conditions didn't look bad. Water at 10 degrees C. A warm and sunny day and the trout were active after large dark olives plus march browns at midday. The Wye has also woken up, it seems. There was also a rather confused looking bat fluttering around in the sunshine. I presume that had just woken up.

I did not fish. The river was in flood!

Lovely day on the river. Masses of LDO's and midge. Odd fish rising to them. Birds singing like it was springtime. Two small grayling. Roamed the whole beat from top to bottom. Lovely beat and looks fantastic trout water. Fantastic day to be out on the upper Wye. Roll on spring!

Very cold frost didn't really shift all day. -2 when we arrived it had been -4 during the night and maxed at +2 in the afternoon. Fished the bottom half of the beat, no bites...and unfortunately no fish.....probably due to the conditions.

Lovely day but fishing difficult in bright sun. Hard frost and foggy. Brightened up around lunchtime. Two small grayling and 1 OOS Trout. Glorious weather and river looked a picture. Walked right down to the bottom beat to warm up. Odd Olive seen and saw a couple of small splashy rises.

8 x grayling 6-14 inches, 2 x out of season trout 13 and 14 inches. A few hours trotting before the rain came in. The post-spawning trout were nicely coloured fish, but parallel lines from head to tail.

No fish found. Very cold conditions. Water very cold and heavy frost.. Found salmon that the otter had had for lunch.
