Feedback & Reports

Fished with some friends in two sessions, catch return is for my fish only. Nasty and chill downstream breeze for much of the day seemed to keep the fish down. Very little steady surface activity. We returned later in the evening and still not much happening on the top. Took some fish searching the far bank with dries and nymphs which produced some fish. Very late in the evening, close to 9.30 onwards the wind dropped some of the time and there were a reasonable number of rising fish, although feeding wasn't sustained and difficult to target. Took a few on dries cast to rising fish in the last of the evening, close to in the dark.

Poor conditions, enjoyable trek in to the llyn.

Well this turned out to be my best ever session on the Wye over the last 5 years. Pretty much non stop all day particularly in the first two hours. All fish to pellet and hemp in the feeder and paste wrapped boilies as hookbait with a few of the chub on floatfished meat. Some real clonking Chub up to 5lb and Barbel up to 9lb. River low and clear but found the fish in the deeper sections.
