Feedback & Reports

1 16LB Salmon caught on a Deveon Minnow from the Vanstone, caught on the 16th at 5.45pm. Nothing caught on the 17th but plenty showing through out the day but not taking. Looked like they had been caught before.

A great day on the river with the Barbel in great form. The fish were caught on boilies and pellet and ranged in size from 9 lb to 5 lb. All fish were in good condition. The lower swims can be prone to snags with a fair bit of tackle lost. With this being the second day of the season most swims had been cleared but, a few still needed to be cleared so it would have been useful to take a machete early in the season. An otter and a mink were spotted on the beat.

River was in superb condition, fished the Boys Rocks pool, not easy to fish and almost impossible to use feeders, having lost a number we used pencil leads with much more success. The 3 fish caught were in superb condition, we estimated the weight as between 8 and 10lbs, all three being of similar size, we also lost 4 good fish due to line chaffing on the rocks. All fish were caught on 15mm Red Robin pellets.
As a footnote I have to say that having fished the Wye for over 30 years I have never seen as many salmon in the river, a large number of grilse, but also larger fish, all looked to be fresh run fish.

Great Day! GRHE responsible for most takes, not many fish rising but enough taking flies fished on a beaded fly.

A couple of hours in the rain! No fish rising and nothing caught. But peaceful and lovely.

What a difference to day one. Arrived on site and met one of the syndicate Salmon anglers who was very helpful. The telephone call to Terry had also been productive. With a little walking lots of great looking swims. The banks are steep which limits swims for those of us with mobility problems. But sat in a swim and started catching within minutes. Barbel to 8.13 and chub to 4 .10. We left happy when the wind started to create white horse waves after about 5 hours.
