Feedback & Reports

Pleasant evening after heavy showers all day. Water just over .41m and warm compared to air temperature. Used a single size 12 spider pattern with partridge wings and alternate brown and blue lure flash wound body. Had an offer from a trout in woodstream which was encouraging and landed two others soon after of a pound and three quarters of a pound, but little afterwards. I switched to dry sedge at 21.30 in woodstream and enticed a large brown to smash it but it came off having left the water completely with aerial acrobatics. The fish was around two and a half pounds so disappointed I did not land it.
John fished pheasant tail nymph and landed three nice dace of around half pound each in woodstream. He also hade a take from a trout of around half pound but it came off.
Pretty good overall given the condition of the water.

A cooler day today, initially anyway!! Up at four , all jobs done and the pooch had a bimble ,plumbed for the Edw @ Hundred House ! Got there at ten to six tackled up my usual rig ,misty and lovely and cool to be honest . . . . Reading twelve in my truck , nice !!!

First important task was a temp reading of the water which was 13 degrees, happy with that!! I took it in three more locations as well , all reading thirteen, sorted !!fine for some fishing . . .

Fished dry all morning , Para Greenwells and Adam's, both effective but tricky in places to get a cast away !!! Like a jungle here although as always great fun and some cracking takes this morning too !!lovely bit of sport i must say !!But as always if your carefull on the Edw you can get a dry pretty close to rising fish !! And explosive takes too ! Awesome !!!

Twelve to the net this morning ranging from twelve inches to seven . Four of them really nice fish this morning and plenty of poke in them too . I bet they're relieved like us that the mad scorchio week is over . . . Eeekkkkkkkk bit too much ! And rain to this week I hope! Didn't get any on the weekend on the outskirts of Leominster !! Oh well ,.all down London it seems .

A lovely four hours in one of my favourite spots ! Only did a bit over half of it ! Fun as always here and let's hope this Lilliputian stream has a bit of water soon ! It's pretty much on its bones . Back on the Edw end of the week maybe , spot on . . . . .

Grayling from ~12 to 18cm, trout ~15cm. Hooked a trout 20+ cm in the top pool. Jumped out of the water twice and was gone.

Two buzzards overhead and a pheasant in the grass.

Bright and clear conditions. Fish very fit and healthy.
Elk hair caddis dry - all on surface except one last take of the day on hairs ear nymph.
Hard work but very rewarding.
Thanks Wye and Usk - superb caretaking.

A properly authentic fishing experience & lovely river.

River very low & fish extremely spooky, plenty of them though!

Two bites on nymphs but due to too much slack in the line from casting from an awkward position - didn’t set the hook. Several follows on a streamer stripped through the bigger pools.

no fish caught but one of the better blank days!

I sadly had to leave before the magic hour when I expect they would start rising- but there were plenty of deep fast pools with flashes of gold telling me that fish were feeding through the day.
