Feedback & Reports

16 lb fish this morning, 3 casts with single hook fly c after 3 hours of fly fishing. Exasperating at times this fishing business.

1 Salmon

The river was very low and the top half of the beat almost unwadable due to the uneven algae coated bedrock. Anglers should take great care wading here - it was some of the toughest wading I've encountered (and I've fished most of the upper Wye beats).
Duo outfished French leader tactics and all fish >1lb took a klink type pattern. The largest grayling weighted 1lb 8oz.
A decent beat for a few hours but be careful!

12 Grayling

Fished morning at Lower Glanwye and afternoon at the Rocks. All quiet on the surface except for two salmon in the Lower Cabin and two smaller salmon showed at top of Rocks. Good to see and hope they get to where ever and do their stuff. Grayling wise six off Lower Glanwye, small , biggest 8 inches. Not so many off Rocks,only two, but one 16 inches. All fell to a light brown hackled, purple body, pink tail weighted size 14 (sorry name unknown as self tied )fished under an a bung.

First time fishing Lower Glanwye and the notes are spot on, not the best access along the bank and wading is tricky mainly on bedrock fishing into the gutters. I started in Stepping Stones and towards the tail of the pool I had a good take which resulted in a 12lb hen, which like yesterdays fish was just starting to colour. Swam off strongly. Caught on a 1 inch cascade tube. Quite a few fish showing, mainly in the pools in the middle of the beat.

13lbs colouring cock today on 1/2" stoats tail tube.

The river was still quite coloured in the morning, which made wading a bit exciting! Had a decent fish on for 30 seconds in Middle Caban pool.
