Feedback & Reports

I spent a very enjoyable 5 hours upstream of the bridge and was able to fish most of the river with various casting techniques.

Caught a few on nymphs and most on a small black fly.

Half a dozen reasonable size.

6 Trout, 6 Grayling

Started from the lower end of the beat and worked my way up.
Not the easiest of rivers to navigate , you have to cross the river a few times to get to any sort of path the walk up. All part of the adventure I guess.
Good drop of rain previously pick up the sport , 7 fish C&R to euro nymph style . One later on with olive emerger.

8 Trout

Grabbed a quick hour and a half on the water, three nice Grayling (three more lost) all to dry flies on slow drifts, spread through the beat. Water was lowish and clear. Some larger rises river left out of my range.

3 Grayling

1 Trout

Fished the beat from top to tail hardly anything rising all day.
So went sub-surface with weighted PT nymphs. The deeper slower water near the top of the beat proved the most productive.The trout were in perfect condition although small around 6>8 inches, grayling also.
All returned safely.

Really enjoyable late afternoon/evening fishing this beat. Tree lined along its length with good access to approx 10 swims cut down to the waters edge. Lots of cover down the nearside margin (where the flow is)with gravel beaches opposite. The fishing getting better as the light faded (as usual) each fish hooked dived for nearside rocks and roots ... great sport. Bait dropper hemp and pellets with pellet and paste on the hook. Would definitely return

It was our first trip to river wye and it was a wonderful experience. Caught only 1 barbel which is a bit of let down however had a busy day catching chub ranging between 1lb-4lb. Can't wait to visit again some other stretches of this beautiful river.
