Feedback & Reports

A brilliant sunny day until late afternoon made for difficult barbel fishing. I tried two swims and found the chub obliging in both and ready to take pellets, meat or cheese. However, I lost at least twice as many as the two I landed in the bankside vegetation and debris from the recent flood. But of barbel there was no sign, even though I stayed until dark by which time steady light rain had set in.

Fished with my son Max. A lovely day, so we started with dry flies and stayed that way all afternoon. Max lost the fish of the day early on, using a DHE. I had a jingler on and found most of the grayling in the faster water. We ended with a dozen between us plus a couple of OOS trout.

A very hot & sunny day river was at normal level after floods the week before 2 chub put an appearance in durning the day barbel came on the feed when the cloud moved in later in day. All fish caught on feeder fished pellet, another lovley day on the wye only 1 canoe all day always a pleasure to be in such stunning surrondings

First time on the Doldolwd beat, some lovely Grayling water with a decent gravel bottom between the bedrock.
Lots of grayling ranging from half a pound up to over 2lb, and some decent out of season brown trout.
There was a large hatch of olives between 1-2 oClock, dries took a fair few fish in the slower water whilst long line nymphing other parts of the day. Looking forward to booking again!

River was still high after the floods of the previous week and running fast, but fairly clear. Landed a lovely 7+inch brown trout taken on a olive nymph. He had a large louse on his side which i removed before putting him back.

Difficult beat to wade but a pleasant day with plenty of sun .unwadable at the lower part of the beat . Above average water height. Had six fish between us on pheasant tail nymphs deep down above the bridge where we could both get in the water..
