Feedback & Reports

Fished the ‘manhole’ Swim as suggested with starting short and working our way across the river. Very slow with first bite at 21:00.

1 Barbel, 1 Chub

Arrived early doors on this new beat, high pressure, blue sky and low water levels.
Fishing proved to be difficult despite moving swims 3 or 4 times trying to locate the elusive Barbel, ledgered meat, pellet & corn with meat coming out on top, with a couple of Chub obliged saving me a blank on another hard day, lovely beat cant wait to return on a day with better conditions..
First class directions, thank you WUF for another enjoyable day on the Wye.

2 Chub

water was low and warm. Mostly weather was hot and sunny and in the afternoon was I competing with canoes and dog walkers!! . Some salmon moving in the morning. The pools at the lower end of beat were hard to access from bank due to combinations of steepness and high nettles!

4 Barbel, 12 Chub

First time at Honddu Half Moon. This remote beat is beautiful with crystal clear water. Parking is 80 yards from the river. Access is easy (once found), as well as wading. The beat is well looked after, in the wild streams standard, with not much overgrown vegetation in summer.

Fished the duo with 4WBT to hand around 6"-8". 3 took s16 olive PTN and one took s12 Klink. Missed 5 on the Klink. The fly was possibly too big. However stopped getting any rise once downsized to s14 or s16. Put s12 back on and the rise came back but kept missing. I guessed the fish wanted something mouthful.
