Italian guest, Corrado Benassi, caught a salmon estimated at 20lbs (94cm) on Lower Symonds Yat beat on a 'Willie Gunn' tube fly, double hook. Returned safely. Many fish rising on this stretch of the river, during the morning.

Perfect conditions early in the day with fish rising mainly on the flats. Difficult to temp but managed most fish on dries apart from 2 larger fish of 19 and 20 inches on a gold headed hares ear from the faster water at the top end of the beat. A very enjoyable day with my Dad catching his first wild river brownie.

I attended the Wild Stream Fishing Day based at Presteigne on the 13/05/17. The day was both informative and enjoyable with excellent instruction given by our guide while fishing the Eyton beat. Great value for money especially if you opted for the following day of individual fishing on a different beat. My thanks to LAFA and the W and U Foundation for organising the event.

Fished the Lyepole beat on the Lugg, as part of the Wild Streams Day with LAFA & Wye & Usk . Congratulations to all the organisers, guides and helpers for a first class day , and a thank you to Glyn Williams for his guiding, and for two trout caught.

Fished Arrow Titley and Whittern beats as part of Wild Streams day. Excellent support and advice from Roy. An excellent day with good company. learned a lot. Several rises and eventually lost one fish that knew which root to go round!

Great day of dry fly fishing. Good sized but spooky trout.

I fished this beat as part of the truly excellent Wild Streams Open Day. As this was my first time on this beat, it is a little hard to say much that is accurate about river condition beyond that it was low and clear, and the fishing tight and technical. I fished predominantly dries, prospecting occasionally with a nymph in some deeper sections. Both small trout were rising fish, taken on a dry fly and released.
