Feedback & Reports

Only 2 of us fished today due to work problems for the other 2 booked in. 4 barbel caught by one of us, blank for the second rod.

2 x trout 15 inches and 19 inches, Waterhen Bloa. Many thanks to owner Barry Paraskevas for inviting me to try for a salmon. However, this was not to be, although I did get a long slow pull in the Rock pool. Still, the casting practice was good and this beat has an interesting variety of pools to try. After lunch, the LDOs showed up, so I dug out the trout rod and got a lovely brace of fish on spiders which made my day. A pleasantly warm afternoon, with no wind for a change.

Beautiful stretch of the Wye, fast water but quite shallow below the bridge giving an ideal spot to chest wade and present the fly in the water.
You can fish this beat in less than 2 hours. I combined this with my day at Backney to supplement my day.
Thank you.

Afternoon on the river on a glorious spring day, no salmon seen but river looked good. Hearing of all the action in Hereford it shouldn't be long before they will offer them selves up anywhere on the river.
Message to self, put the trout rod in next time, lunchtime was alive with trout rising to a half decent hatch of olives, 14:30 onwards till 16:00. Spring is here today but possibly gone tomorrrow.

3 barbel to 7lb ish. Great beat, fish in top condition. Back on June 16th!

Nil return water a little high but clear. No salmon seen.

No fish caught, a bit bright and cold.

A beautiful day with the river in excellent condition. Probably too early for the upper river yet though.

First time on this stretch. Very nice. Easy to find on the satnav and lots of water to go at with easy access to all of it. The farmer who owns it seemed a very nice man and his cows are friendly. Due to a howling wind I couldn't read the water (it was all just one continuous chop). Pitched up by the abstraction pump as there's a good looking far bank feature but the noise and diesel fumes in the wind soon put us on the move. Walked until the noise of the pump disappeared and just hurled out 'blind'. One chub about 3 pounds. Fished until the pain in the @rse wind/warm pub scales tipped in balance of the latter and left (didn't take very long).
