Feedback & Reports

River very low-lot of green weed-difficult to wade as very slippy. Fished mid day and early afternoon but needed to be fished this time of year early or evening rise. Caught fish about 7 ins. Changed to small Tupp indispensable for success.

Tricky conditions with strong downstream breeze all day - managed one decent 12" grayling from the Clettwr mouth and missed a few more takes on a dry, including further downstream where there was no respite from the wind, unfortunately it just followed around the bend in the river. Heard a very large fish jump by the Armies pool, assume it was a trout as it was on the far bank under the trees not a likely salmon haunt? Couldn't cast to the far bank as the wind was there just too strong for my 3wt line, even from the middle of the river.
There was a small minibus in the parking area when I arrived, and the fishing lodge was occupied with a couple of heavy duty spinning rods set up on the rack outside - didn't see anyone fishing with them & they were still there when I left c. 6pm.

Grilse 6lb caught spinning on Weirend

1 Salmon

6 x trout 6-8 inches Rusty Klinkhammer. Water now very low and no insects about, but fish prepared to rise. I must have missed twice as many. Rain is promised for tomorrow.

First of all, may I say, what a stunning place to be. I think my brother spent as much time taking photos as he did fishing. Water levels were very low and very few fish were evident. We did manage three very small trout between us although that was more by luck than judgement. Just a phenomenal place to be on a Sunday and we will be back (when there's a bit more water!)

Nice beat but not worth £20 lots of fallen trees. All caught on nymphs 8_10 inches.

River levels normal for summer as judged by the drop over the rapids up stream of me. I fished the section opposite the line of rocks. Water was clear but warm which I think explained why I caught so many chub compared to barbel. All but one fish taken on ledger or feeder, one chub taken on the float. Noted large 10-15lb salmon in pool all day breaking surface a dozen times. Bird life abundant, Teals, Kingfishers, Goosanders, Little Egret, Cormorants and Greenshank. Excellent day.

4 Barbel, 14 Chub

River level just under a foot at Llanstephan. Slightly overcast day at about 18 degrees. Only a very few rising fish when I arrived at 1pm so went with team of three wets with a bead head GRHE on point. Made some changes during the day and found something with red in it tempted the fish. Plenty of salmon parr around especially in the shallow riffles. Best of the grayling was about 14" but hooked and lost a fish that looked much larger. There was a substantial hatch of flies about 4-5pm that stimulated a few fish to come up and play but nothing spectacular.

5 Grayling, 12 Other

Beautiful stretch of the Wye, water levels unfortunately were really low which made fishing hard. No barbel seen but another guy caught one upstream, fish just weren't biting. Will definitely be back. Tried feeder fishing with meat, pellets and corn. Chub were taking sweet corn. Also tried rolling meat.
