Feedback & Reports

Warm, overcast, rainy, and a slight breeze gave us pretty good conditions. Water was low and clear, and coloured slightly as the day went on. Fish were caught throughout the beat, with abundant fly-life bringing an opportunity for some terrific sport using dries. Most fish were between 1 and 1.5 lbs, and all were safely returned. A particularly productive day for us - we don't usually fish from 08:30 until 21:30. A great day out, on a wonderful stretch of River.

A blank day, and a wet one! This beat seems to me best for dry-fly fishing in terms of the water, but inaccessible for bank fishing. Therefore only fishable where shallow enough to wade. There were lots of rising fish in the deep water, but unreachable as far as I could see!

Dour day, continual rain and blustery cool breeze. No hatch or rising fish and couldnt tempt any with nymph

Weather great between 5 and 7pm with cold wind and rain after. I landed 4 very good trout on goldhead haresear, to 4.5 lb total, 3 on woodstrem run and one, the largest at 1.75lb at end of chine pool. John had 2 trout on a sunken olive pattern each half pound and lost two others of similar size.
Brilliant evening's fishing

The Sussex gang arrived 5 strong.One was a wye virgin so we organized Jonathan Morris to guide him.what a teriffic job he did, enabling our newbie to catch the biggest brownie of the day at 15ins.The rest of us just catching tiddlers.
It was also very encouraging to see such a great mixture of fly life.
Very different to some of our southern rivers where the hatches can be sparse.
The number of salmon parr was also very encouraging,roll on 3years time.

Strong gusting downstream wind coupled with a skinny river showing its bones meant for a tough old day. I was longing to catch on the dry, but I just couldn’t help but scatter the fish as I tried to cast to the rise, only for the wind to dump it short.
So after five hours of persevering I switched to Klink and Dink and broke my duck with two wbt on a ghgrhe, thank god for the blank buster.

Fished for 2 1/2 hours without a touch. Tried various methods without success. No complaints from me though! Scenery is spectacular. Fish just didn’t want to play.

4 rainbows taken with blue flash damsel plus 2 wild browns on diawl bachs. (Both returned). All taken on A470 side near “burger van” lay-by.
