Feedback & Reports

River low and clear. Grayling taken on dries, which made a nice change. Beautiful beat with lots of varied water. Wading was easy at this very low level.

4 Grayling

The river was clear and the trees were staring turn into there autumn colours, so a good time to be on the water.
Had one oos trout on a nymph in the morning. There was little surface activity but when I changed to a 16 CDC & Elk in the afternoon the grayling came up,they were holding on the edge of the fast water and very willing to rise. Catching fish on a dry in Oct always seems like a bonus, so 8 grayling between 12" & 14 made for a very pleasant afternoon.
Many Thanks LB

Two salmon contacted. A lovely beat.

It was the first time we had fished Sugwas Court and it took until midway to select a swim which you could get down to the river bank. We did park in the Orchard car park and was expecting to walk onto the river but at times there was over a 40ft drop to the river and looked dangerous. Looking at the map you supplied you have stated ' Parking and access to the fishery is excellent'.
We decided to try and walk from the Orchard car park to the Bait pool only to find the path was blocked by a fallen tree so we ended up back to our original spot opposite Mill Pool. When we got there and trying to find a swim we were again disappointed to find a Car seat washed up on the bank by Pump pool.
We all came to the conclusion that more information is needed if you have not fished this stretch of river before which would of possibly saved us some time and better direction to get from one end of the stretch of river to the other.
When we eventually started to fish it took only Ten minutes to land our first Barbel which weighed 8lb 2 and looked a very healthy fish. Shortly after our second Barbel was landed, again a very healthy looking fish at just over 7lb and then two Chub one at 4lb 8oz and the second at 6lb 4oz both very healthy looking fish. All our fish were caught on pellet also using a small amount of feed.
We all still enjoyed our days fishing and were over the moon to catch some fish from the famous river Wye and we are planning another trip next year.
We also fished Lower Cannon Bridge for the next two days which again produced three Barbel and three Chub all very healthy fish and if you would like more details please let me know.
I hope my comments are not too disappointing for you regarding directions and conditions but one of our party has difficulty walking but the fishing and fish were excellent.

Most fish found in the middle of the beat around the faster water. Black pennell worked for most and spiders for others. Deep fished nymphs seemed to be uninteresting.
