Feedback & Reports

Three double figure carp landed, 3 lost, largest 12lb 12oz. Carp caught on pellet. Lots of evidence of an abundance of small silver fish but difficult to catch as use of maggots is not permitted at this time of year. Great place to fish will come back again in the future.
WUF Note: The maggot restriction (June 16th to Sept 14th) only applies to the river Wye. Still waters do not fall under this byelaw.

River a tad high, water a tad coloured, fish a tad absent, wind a tad strong. Great beat, shared with an otter.

1 Trout, 1 Grayling

Tough day, windy, cold and very very wet. One small trout and one missed is all in a lovely river.

1 Trout

Robin Stewart. 8lbs and 11.5lbs from Rapids pool, spinning.

2 Salmon

All fish taken on weighted nymphs (mainly GRHE & pheasant tails). Largest 14", average 8-10". Conditions far from ideal!! Heavy rain, high winds with very strong gusts. First time on the water but guessing river 12" high judging by plant growth in the margins. Only saw handful of fish rising. Few mayfly hatching. Wet but enjoyable day.

With river moving from 1 ft 3 to 1 ft 6 and the prospect of heavy rain from the threating summer storm it was the first day of Sumer! I throught it was worth an hour with the rod, good cloud cover but guests of wind, never seen such a quantity of swallows and swifts dive bombing the river, great clouds of them! Spectacular.
At 11 am after taking two Shad, the line went solid and suddenly a very strong 18 pounder took off and 20 mins later came safely to the bank, slightly coloured and a small amount of white fugus on the nose, safely returned and followed by 3 lovely wid brown trout who all fought well on the end of a 16 ft salmon rod, driven off the river by 3 pm as the storm approached !

1 3/4lb, 1lb and two at around 10". Caught on Yellow May Dun.

3 caught fishing a duo, 1 caught fishing a dry. Rain and occasional wind made fishing a bit tricky but it was a good day. Some insect life and some fish rising. A gooseander and chicks were on the beat.

Very windy and wet day few fish rising but incredible number of olives hatching all day. Dries unsuccessful but small nymphs did the trick.
