Feedback & Reports

Two of us covered a lot of water with deadbaits..float fishing and wobbling. No bites all day despite conditions looking good.

lovely beat with plenty of water to explore, we moved around all day hoping to find the fish. SM had one nice 10lb pike and MH had a small jack of around 3lb both taken from beat 5 in the slacker water. spotted a few nice barbel in beat 2 and wished we had brought our barbel gear!.
Still a pleasure to be on this part of the Wye thanks W&U

A lovely beat which I have fished around 6 times now. The river was nearly down to normal level after very high conditions a few days previous. The day started in a very frosty fashion and bright sunshine. I waded as deep as I dare go and fished all the pools. Nothing rising or hatching. Fished teams of weighted nymphs but still struggled to get into good enough positions to present them properly. I picked up a superb trout of around 2lb on home tied tungsten head UV nymph at about 11 in the morning. Fished hard for a few more hours with no touches. Around 3 O'Clock with my legs numb to the core I finally picked up a grayling off about 1.5b. I fished for another hour then called it a day. Always nice fishing this beat and can't wait to come on my next holiday in a few months when the sun is shining and the flies are hatching and hopefully have a few on drys.

1 Trout, 1 Grayling

Using mackerel and bluey deabait.
Four Pike: 14lb, 13lb, 9lb and 5lb.

Lost two other fish. Water colour had cleared a little, so the fish were feeding better than they were a couple of days ago when I blanked.
