Feedback & Reports

River well up and coloured, beautiful stretch of the river but fished hard. We will return soon to try again, very pleased to walk away with the only 2 fish caught.
Many thanks.

A total blank. The Lugg at Mortimer's Cross was running very high on Saturday after heavy rains on Friday night. Although the flow was better on Sunday on the Eyton beat. There was a lot of debris in the water - logs, branches etc. We didn't have a single take all weekend.

All grayling (and OOS trout) taken on heavy nymphs and bugs in the high (0.8m), slightly coloured river. All fish returned with the largest being a 1.5lb grayling. Not easy in challenging conditions but a lovely day in great surroundings.

17 Grayling

Second Trip to this stretch. Fished the pool, water very high, could only fish close in but 4 barbel and lost one.

River about 1m up from previous day due to rain. Tried several swims with pellet and luncheon meat but had no bites. I can only assume drop in temperature + rain water had put fish off.

River high.

River high and got higher. rained most of the day. Went home wet and tired. No fish to report.

Washed off!

River high and cumming up fast with lots of debris. Over 3 feet in 6 hours. Hooked 6 good fish over the day but only managed to land 1 4lb chub and 1 6lb barbel due to the strength of flow. 5-6oz to hold bottom. All fish taken on bait tech hybrid hook baits over hemp in middle to lower end of beat. Great beat with great access. Banks abit slippy when wet so take care. There was a large otter at the top end early morning. Many thanks again to the wuf.

1 Barbel, 1 Chub

After a wet drive, it was a great afternoon in depths of Wye valley in autumn. Much better than work! 1 chub approx 3lb and a 4lb 6oz barbel on pellet from mid section.
