Feedback & Reports

A blistering hot day suitable for sitting beside a pool with the drink of your choice not ideal fishing weather! No shade on this stretch of the Wye so really suffered in the heat. Managed a few out but retired early to the comfort of the air conditioning in the car. One point of note higher up the beat is a great looking peg lower down than Foy Bridge just below the rapids which has wooden steps going down to it but is all over grown. If you go to the trouble of installing steps on a swim that would be ideal in low flow conditions then why not spend the time in the close season maintaining it?

Weather extremely hot with bright sunlight. River the colour of tea but with a reasonable flow. Did not start fishing until 5.30pm. Fished the top end of the beat. All fish caught on luncheon meat.

Lots of school perch to 8in 3/4Lb. Stockies to 2Lb. Fish responding to fly and lure but bubble and worm is king

10 x trout 6-10 inches, size 18 Rusty Klinkhammer. Early morning visit during a heatwave - the water is very low again but presumably refreshed by showers last week.
