Feedback & Reports

On the river before 6am fished the mill stream and meck of the rectory. Saw one salmon moving in the mill stream but that was about it. Came back after breakfast and switched to trout fishing. Stood on the bridge spotting my friend. Landed a nice graying of a 1lb and a half but that was it for the day!

Fishing for salmon and landed two small, half pound, trout as the fly came around on the dangle as often happens when the current slows. A big hatch of March browns around 1 pm as temperature rose on a near windless day.

Lovely afternoons fishing on this beat. Just the one Grayling { 3/4 lb} and one trout { i/2 lb}. No Salmon seen .
Thanks to Garry from Cardiff for giving us some help and advice.

Warm day but very windy throughout the day. Lost 7-8kg size salmon on FC, caught beautiful 1kg trout.

River had dropped slightly quicker than had hoped although the lower sections seemed promising. All the excuses came out, wind in the East, cold wind etc but failed again! Only the one reported on entire river so doesn’t make us the only I nods I guess.

Nice day in my fave WYE beat - fished 0930-1700 - water in good order and running c1ft 9 on Llanstephan gauge so I thought I was within a shout of a salmon plus 2/3 others on the beat who clearly thought the same. Used mainly fly but a bit of spinner in the Mill stream pool but no shows or takes.

Bit sunny really and the highish water made wading challenging in places - indeed I came a cropper in the Neck of the rectory pool and fell over during overambitious x-channel wading resulting in being washed downstream ten yards or so and only just managing to save my skin. Lesson leaned.

Retired to the spanking new fishing hut (a wonderful addition) for coffee and a dryout. No salmon seen but no doubt they were lurking but despite all efforts only catch was a 1/2 lb trout that had taken my dropper.
