Feedback & Reports

I could only mange a morning session and with very little rising and only a few sedge coming off made for tricky fishing. I caught only one small trout on a PTN nymph and lost a couple of others, maybe in the late afternoon/early evening things would have got going. As always I enjoyed the session and casting under the tree canopy, getting the fly to go where you want it to is a challenge.

Early start, not easy to reach the river due to a fallen tree blocking the path, bright conditions, fished the duo, 8 trout 8-10" all on the Polyphaetis nymph.

A brilliant day by my standard's and experience, anyway got off to a flier 2nd cast picked up a brownie around 15inches a PB for me, then four grayling in as many casts all in the same run around 1/2 a pound or so. Then another stunning brown of around the same size as the first . Landed a further 10 or so grayling later in the morning and early afternoon, along with a small brown of around 9 inches. All in all a great day in stunning surroundings. All fish returned.

Battled for an hour to hook an eel nibbling the spam, then tried pellet. No sign of a fish 8 - 5pm, then four barbel between us 6lb to 9lb 4oz - well worth the wait!

Caught on a Snipe and Purple North country Spider. Had a great day, but wished I had a map showing the depths around the Bridge, as the river at places came up to mid chest level, and at times I couldn't find a route to wade around. River beautiful clear, a touch higher than perfect perhaps. Several takes that I missed.

2 Rainbow Trout caught on the spinner. Very busy and so wasn't a huge amount of space to be able to fish. Apart from the two fish caught it was very quiet.

Quite a sunny day with a slight downstream wind and very clear water. Not much rising, as seems to be a common occurence on the Wye, but fish were active and came readily to my team of spiders. Most of the takes were quite gentle. Caught steadily throughout the day with the fish getting gradually bigger from about 10" to a nice cock fish of 18".

Feeder pellets. We were disappointed with number of swims.
