Feedback & Reports

Weather good and water 0.64m with some colour. I opted for trout as did John Lewis. We both tied MB spiders and I fished the top run and rockpool with no offers at all in 4 hrs. John fared much better in the faster water of the woodstream and landed 2 fish of 1lb and half pound, and had several other offers.
I refished the topend with a team of weighted nymphs with no luck.
Unable to fish late.

Great day on Whitney Court today. My first Wye spring salmon followed by a second. First fish from Loxters pool around 13lb (few weeks in river)and a second one from beat 3 opposite the house around 10lb (very fresh few days at most) also turned another fish of around the same size. Both on FC. Also 10+ Shad of various sizes and 3 Trout
Thanks to Terry for all the advice and help.
Terry also had a salmon yesterday of 8lb on fly.

8 lbs Cadora Backs to M.H. and 17.5 lbs (weighed in net) to Robin Stewart on Redbrook ; both taken spinning. Water levels on these beats still too heavy ideally for fly

2 Salmon

All on small nymphs. Average size ranging from very small to 6 inches, 3 fish of 12" stood out from the bunch.

Had a couple of hours to spare while my son played Cricket in Kington so fished from 6 till 8 PM. Quite a few fish rising so stuck with a CDC and Elk emerger. Rod used was 8ft Tenkara and fish from 6 to 10 inches.

Saw a couple of fish on beat 3 and 4 but they weren't having any of my flies. The river seemed a bit low and reasonably clear. Lovely warm early summers day to be on the river.

Caught five perch, which I returned to the water.

Started with French Nymphing which went very well with 12 fish caught in rapid succession, to 18inches, so decided to switch to dry fly. Well that was different, with fish refusing offerings and ignoring my verbal demands that they should take! Managed 3 more on duo set up to finish the day at a score draw; angler verses fish.

We had a great day, fishing and catching all fish on dries according to the hatch/time of day. Flies included Royal Wulff, Dogsbody, Double Decker, Red Spinner and Olive comparaduns. The fish were a mixed bag in size up to about 18 inches and all in great shape.
(Just for future reference it seems there is an overlap in the fishing at the top of the beat with the far bank being also part of a Dinas stretch so you might find someone fishing this part as we did - assume it is not WUF water as not listed on map for booking.)
WUF Note : The beat limits are clearly shown on the map issued with booking. The Dinas fishery can be booked through the Foundation and is on the website.
