Feedback & Reports

3 Barbel, one from the car park and two in the wood towards the top end. Best fish of the week at 9lb 2oz in another freshly cut swim. We had a great week overall in tough river conditions. Will definitely be back as it's a beautiful beat and Peter is an excellent host who has done a cracking job getting the venue ready.
Back in December for the Pike season!

Strange day , had to fish hard all day though all the swims for nothing only to go back to the first swim we blanked in in the morning and there they where!! Crazy last two and a half hours as they feed like mad on feeder fished baits, a grueller turned in to an amazing finish, just love the wye.

12lb cock fish taken on Willie-Gunn neck of the Rectory. Coloured fish went back well energised.

Poor weather to start, with wind direction continuously changing. 3 stunning browns landed (Diawl bach) tried fishing deep for the char but no takes. If you attempt to fish I recommend 25k map, compass and mountain weather gear, wild & remote, conditions change in minutes.

A little colour in the river. Weather overcast with some light showers. No hatches seen and only a couple of rising fish seen all day. The grayling came up to a Klinkhammer and the small trout was caught on nymph. All fish returned. A lovely place to spend the day.

Very quiet with very few rises, fish very spooky. Two trout on nymphs in faster water. Otter(s) very busy and having far more success than me!

With the water levels so low this was always a hopeful trip but lovely to return to this tranquil beat now the holidays are over and the footpath and pools are quiet. Low and slow. A good trickle of flies coming off - Pale Wateries and Autumn Duns - and sporadic small splashy rises but they couldn’t be tempted on the dry and the only joy on the nymph was an “accidental” 7” fish on the retrieve. Let’s hope next year is a better one

Pellet and feeder tactics. Most fish coming in the afternoon. Left at twilight with the fish heavy on the feed as
so often happens. Good day in a lovely setting.
