Feedback & Reports

Nice to be able to park next to the river, seamed to be quite a fast shallow stretch, found one swim with some deeper slower water which I started in, caught a Chub after about an hour then decided to explore the rest of the beat, the other swims were difficult to access some with steep banks all with fast shallow water, returned to my original swim to catch another Chub. Glad I was the only one on the beat & was able to move back into my original swim. Fished the RH bank as you look upstream, fish caught on Robin Red pellet

2 Chub

Tough day. Looked perfect too. Never mind was very tranquil

3 Chub

As this was the last day of the mild spell I negotiated a fishing day with The Long Suffering Pauline (TLSP) and headed here as 2 good chub had come from the bottom swim recently - my usual MHC having produced 3 blanks on the last three reports.
I fished the bottom swim in the morning for 2 chub and the last 2 hours for 1 chub, all about 4lb, on GB feeder and maggot or meat. I tied 3 swims above it in between for only one missed bite. As it was as a mild as Spring and with a 7 degree water temp I'd hoped for more but was happy with the 3 chub. I apologise again to the pike angler who booked on the day who I suspected of being a poacher as as at 0900 I was still the only person booked on. Turned out he was legit and we eventually came to an amicable agreement on use of THE swim and both a decent example of our target quarry out of it.

3 Chub

River level was relatively low for winter but quite fishable , 3 Grayling and 1 Trout all on upstream nymphs
Nice peaceful place

1 Trout, 3 Grayling

After Grayling but sadly they evaded us. Few brownies all swiftly put back in great condition plus 1 x minow or other worlds smallest fish.
Nice day fishing.

3 Trout

Couple of hours at midday. trotting for grayling but only an out of season, but very fit, 12 inch WBT caught and returned.

1 Trout

Another good day on the club stretch fishing both the Wye and Irfon despite the water being clear and below 1.2m. All fish fell tommaghot in the deeper runs

3 Trout, 17 Grayling

3 Trout, 6 Grayling

Fished from about 12:30 to 15:30.

Covered the lower half of the beat (the gullys) Euro nymphing and suspended nymphs with no bites.

Very mild conditions with water temperatures between 8-12 °C, level around 1.1m on Builth gauge and good water clarity. Conditions looked pretty good so not sure what exactly we were doing wrong to get no bites.

One 2lb trout out of season trout in good condition. No sign of grayling.

1 Trout
