Feedback & Reports

Once again the weather forecast was wrong, saying it would rain on and off all day today. In fact it rained during Wednesday night and the river rose do a decent height during the night and fell during the day.
I'm reminded what a lovely beat this, particularly the stretch in front of the hut down to the rapids. There was no sign of life at all until lunchtime when some flies started coming off and there was an occasional rise. All the fish I caught were in faster water.
There was, again, no sign of salmon. I have seen one Wye salmon only this year, when I hooked one and it got off. I can only imagine that numbers are low.

River about 6 ft visibility, nothing seen, lovely day but no fish.

Booked late in the afternoon for a few hours, river was coloured but still had 4 to the net from the top of the beat fishing close to the overhang trees. Lovely afternoon

River clearing after heavy rain the previous day. Early nymphing followed by dry fly. Trout to 1.25lbs. Nice water to fish - wading needs care.
