Feedback & Reports

This is my absolute favourite beat on the wye but on this occasion I was very disappointed, absolutely no maintenance has been done no swims cut out, with all the rain at the weekend the river was high fast and chocolate brown not ideal conditions areas that would normally be accessible weren’t which left us only two swims to fish. But we still managed a few fish, back again in a couple of weeks hopefully with better conditions.

Pretty normal levels, clear, no frost. Didn’t see a fish, not even a minnow, and not a twitch.

No catch

Levels were good but all colour had dropped out the river.
Only stayed for 2 hours. Pack up to move to the lower wye in the hope of better conditions

First wye gudgeon! Caught on maggot feeder and chub on pellets and boilies. Fish in calmer water. Saw a salmon leaping and a pair of otters which looked dumbfounded by my presence.

Tricky day as expected, water low & clear, clear skies (after the fog lifted) cold start & around 8 degrees cooler than the previous day.
