Feedback & Reports

Harder going than expected as I had a very good day here last year. Fished Masses Creek without a touch so moved down bekow the island and found grayling in the pool there. Could only touch them on wets, March Brown being the most successful though I missed one on a dry. None of the fish exceeded 10", they seem to be a bit smaller this year.

The river was low and there were lots of leaves on the surface making fishing difficult at times, but otherwise the conditions seemed reasonable. We fished hard all day using every technique in our repertoire, including deep nymphs, duo style with dry and nymph, and dry fly on its own, but the return at the end of the day was one modest grayling each, caught on dries, plus one out of season trout. Another angler on the same beat with a guide was also struggling, so for whatever reason it seems that the Wye Grayling were not playing ball that day.

River clear and low. Nice looking stretch, beautiful surroundings. Caught one chub early on, stick float maggot. Swim was dead for rest of day, no sign of any small fish or anything showing on the surface. Absence of fish life, no ripples etc. Fished a couple of hours into dusk and caught 6 chub between us, 2-4 lbs.

7 Chub

A difficult days fishing with rain scattered throughout. But perseverance paid off with a 14lb pike in the afternoon on the float and a 12.04 barbel at dusk on a pellet baited area. My friend and I both enjoyed the beautiful scenery and first trip to the Wye. We will be back soon. Many thanks.

Good days fishing. Slow in morning with 1 barbel caught, picked up mid afternoon after moving swims with another 4 barbel and 2 chub caught and losing 2 barbel. All caught on the feeder with boilie hook bait!

5 Barbel, 2 Chub

Difficult day with the river low and clear. Fished most of the available pegs in the car park field. One barbel exactly 10 lbs plus 2 small chub.

Very poor 3 days of fishing. The river was clear and with a drop in temperature I am sure the fish were hibenating! No real bites apart from 2 chub. We were using pellets and feeders, and saw several kingfishers.

1 Chub

All fish caught in the fast water on nymphs. Water level still low, good wading.

2 Trout, 7 Grayling

Slow going due to the cold north easterlies and water level dropping. But we did have a few fish on pellet. We have fished Sugwas before but this time 2 of us tried above the orchard. We enjoyed our day despite the slow fishing.
