Feedback & Reports

Although a very nice stretch of river with crystal clear waters, I didn't see a single fish along the whole length, I strongly believe there are very very few fish here.. O caught. O seen!

No fish caught. No bites at all.

Blank. Still pretty high water today, so rather reluctantly opted to spin. Nothing to report except for one very large pike which followed the spoon in to the bank on Corner Tree. It's very nice to see some maintenance done now, so that pools are properly accessible. By the way, there is currently a problem getting into the entrance of the beat. The road from Walford is blocked off, and if you follow the diversion all the way round the block to the Ross side, you come across workmen engaged in digging drainage trenches across the road there. Necessary to negotiate access with these guys or, after working hours, move their "closed" sign aside. This will all be completed in a few days apparently.

Great day, very bright with little cloud and water as clear as gin - I did not give myself much hope however the fishing was good with 5 WBT hooked and as many lost. Took first one on dry within minutes of first few casts, the remainder on nymphs fished on on long leader. Hatch around 1 pm fish rising frequently lasted about 40 mins then back to more tranquil times.

Lovely Spring day for first outing of 2015. Low water, bright conditions and picture perfect. Nothing much doing until brief and concentrated hatch of March Brown (?) brought up trout. Driver error and lost in the moment conspired to make a mess of it! 2 trout hooked, played and long-distance catch and release. All good, until demand of Six Nations took over.
Thank you to the kind Glanusk Estate Shepherd who recovered my phone later in the day!

A lovely day on the river. It felt like spring had arrived. Large hatches of what I think were March dun appeared late morning for a couple of hours but not a riser in sight. Water still very cold. All fish caught deep on gold head hares ear. Fish sizes were between 8-14 inches.

3 Trout, 2 Grayling

1 rainbow on silver Toby.

Caradoc Beat - River Wye. Cool wind with sunny periods. River was in perfect condition. We saw a good fish show in Poulston late on in the day and look forward to returning
when it is a little warmer!!

What a beautiful day for me to start the season! The water was quite low and clear. There were buzzards above and lesser celandines below. I fished for a couple of hours in the afternoon and started at the rock pool and then moved down to wood stream. I didn't see any fish but it was great once again to be casting a spey line into the water. There were one or two march browns hatching which was lovely to see. I went back on Sunday for another four or two. Again a beautiful day but no fish seen or caught. It's great to be back at Chainbridge and there's always next time! Thanks again to the owner, who as always was extremely helpful and friendly.

Lovely day and nice beat, no fish unfortunately. Thanks to WUF and the Ghillie for the advice.
