Feedback & Reports

The river was at 0.61 on the Ross level when I arrived. Overcast and very mild. I thought I would be in for a good day, which it was for me. It was made difficult by a very strong wind which blew strongly and followed the river which made reading the water difficult and bite detection difficult too. I chose to fish closer in with the rod tip down which did help. Two barbel to about 7lb and a lovely one to probably 10 lb all taken on paste wrapped cheesy garlic pellets. Two small chub were also caught.

Just a couple of hours fishing in the morning. Caught one grayling on a weighted PTN.

1 Grayling

Healthy grayling caught using A gold beaded pink shrimp on a size 14 barbless hook with a strike indicator.

4 Grayling

Hard going with overnight wind and rain, but was rewarded with two grayling’s in this stunning location. Both caught on olive nymphs. The added treat was seeing a salmon jumping approx 10-15 ft away, brilliant!

Nice beat, easy to get to the river as there are numerous entry points. All fish caught on a perdigon nymph
Will definitely return

A great day out in the bracing Wye valley. A lovely beat. weather mild and river clear. I felt I could have done better but enjoyed myself nonetheless.

The other guy on today was in the swim we wanted but we still managed a couple of small pike on lures and a chub whilst aiming for barbel at the top end. Managed to clear the swim by the massive rock of the fallen tree and one across the main path so should be a bit easier to get around in future. The Japanese Knotweed has gone crazy in places!
