Feedback & Reports

River low and bites hard to come by, 2.5lb chub on cell boilie and a 16lb 3oz pike on a smelt. Approx 20 salmon seen.

2 grilse, both 7lb, returned. Size 10 fly on 9’ leader, floating shooting head, 15’ rod. Thanks, I’ll be back.

Fabulous day to finish the season, though the weather was resemblant of a typical summers day! Fish were certainly there, some doing aerial acrobatics but none came to the fly. All frustration was muted by the sheer pleasure of fishing there, can't wait for next season.

Nil Catch.
A few fish jumping but not as many as previous sessions it seemed. Quite a few comorants on stretch (4-5 at one stage).

5lb cock fish, on a alleys shrimp, on little run! (Owner guest rod)

1 x 15lb Salmon Cock fish coloured safely released. Caught on Ally Shrimp size 10 on little run.
Excellent service from the Foundation, first time on the Wye!

Much sunnier than the day before, spent more time taking pictures than fishing. Saw lots of fish, a pair of kingfishers, a mink and 3 cormorants. None caught.

Nice day out in on a pleasant beat. River slightly up but clearing after recent rain, to me it looked perfect.
Lots of salmon showing mostly coloured fish in the upper end of the stretch.

Tried various approaches all to no avail so ended the day on a blank.

Nil return. Lovely day for it though!

SK and I enjoyed our day on Upper Bigsweir yesterday. Water very low but we did see about 6 fish. Non caught!
