Feedback & Reports

River very low and clear, lots of flood damage to banks and trees,but tidied up. Two rises covered but not playing and missed one. Klink and dink most of time but later a. Few mayflies appeared. All in a lovely beat very enjoyable and great to be out. Thank you wyes dusk.

No fish seen or caught. A pleasure to be out in the May sunshine.

What a relief to be able to go fishing again, I had never visitied this beat before, so it was a new experience.
The river was fairly low and a little cloudy, algae was evident on the bed, especially when wading and becoming surrounded by floating algae dislodged from the gravel.
Fly life was sparse, with only a handfull olives hatching all day, rises were also sporadic and there wasn't a single fish feeding conistently.
However I did manage to catch a couple of trout, one on a Parachute Adams, and another on a tungsten bead GRHE nymph.
They weren't large circa 8 inches, but were most welcome.
It was just really good to be out with a rod in my hand exploring a new place to me.
The beat was fairly tight fishing along most of it's length, perhaps a recommendation on rod length/weight should be included in the beat details.
Anyway an excellent escape from all the madness all the same.
Thank you again Wye and Usk foundation.
