Feedback & Reports

Posting results for a friend, unfortunately only caught a small Dace on meat, no other bites although fishing the peg I fished the previous day and using the same bait and tactics. That's fishing for you!

Small, feisty fish. Very challenging fishing! Next time I will try using my tenkara outfit for these easily-spooked, fast-as -lightning takers!

6 Trout

Fished a couple of hours in the morning for 1 Barbel weighing 9lb 1oz then went back out at 4pm had 5 Barbel to 8lb and 2 Chub to 4lb

6 Barbel, 2 Chub

A bit slow during the day apart from a cracking 5lb chub from the field below the wood. Things woke up in the last hour in the top field. Other was an eel.

1 Barbel, 3 Chub, 1 Other

Another over cast day but plenty off water to play in. Started at Bridge pool Czech nymphing size 16 with GRHE point & emerger on dropper. Got results first few casts and picked up 2 Grayling. Moved right up to head of river and hooked into a large Trout which danced off the hook. Moved up to Spring Pool and manged to pick up a good 10 inch Grayling. Finished off the day back at the bridge and changed point fly to Green tag. Picked up 2 small Trout for my troubles. Enjoyed the whole day but be careful on those rocks.

2 Trout, 3 Grayling

I was shocked by the state of the river. It has deteriorated drastically since I last saw it 4 years ago. The bed is now covered with slime and filamentous algae. The back eddies stink of dairy slurry. This is a dying river. We should all support the Wye and Usk Foundation as it seeks to protect our beautiful rivers from diffuse and acute pollution.
A few splashy rises to a size 16 soft hackle, but with one exception they were reluctant to connect.

Not a bite, v poor fishing. Stocking dates should be published, so anglers aren't wasting their money.
