Feedback & Reports

Early morning trip but not early enough I don't think - a few rises in first half an hour or so, after that all quiet. Other were salmon parr; water obviously very low but there were fish in faster water. All on dries, para Adams and larger brown klink. Missed a few, including takes from a couple of reasonable fish that I did see rising in still water (not counting the many splashes at the fly from ambitious parr); worth going at first light if possible at the moment. Enjoyed trying somewhere new as always, thanks to WUF.

Another hot and sunny day with low water level. Tried to find some deeper water. Most fish came towards the end of the session at dusk, a frantic last hour!

Second day on the beat and tried out both bridge Gutter & Spring Pool Gutter. Both produced fish on Czech nymphing as the previous day. Even though another hot day fish were in the mood and had three trout dance off the hook. Again another surprise was a 3/4lb Chub on a black nymph and took me on a merry dance down stream. A big bold and beautiful fish. Another interesting day on this beat. Will be back.

After two difficult days on the Wye we finally found some fish.
This beat was very difficult, water very low and clear and zero flow but we found a lovely stretch in the top wood with a small gravel beach where there was a decent amount of flow running down a gully on the far bank.

2 barbel of around 6-7lbs and 3 nice size chub between us.
