Feedback & Reports

Another great day on the Wye all fish taken on feeder fished pellet, largest fish 10lb with four more to 9lb. Quite a long walk from the new parking area. River was very low & not many swims on this beat however Stan was very helpful & directed us to the deeper water where we found the fish.

River too low for Salmon but a great day.

Hot sunny day, water low and a fair bit of weed. Best day on the Wye so far. Four Barbel, 2 at 5.5lb, 1 at 7lb and 1 at 7.5lb. Also 1 Chub of 3.5lb. Baited up swims with hemp and pellets from a bait dropper and rested them, then returned added a few more droppers and straight in with Elips pellets glued to hair rig. Will be back in the spring.

Nice day with a couple of good grayling. Most grayling came to the dry fly in fast runs.

2 Trout, 6 Grayling

A difficult but enjoyable days fishing. Sharp downstream breeze a low river & Bright conditions made it challenging. The grayling caught were good fish up to 11/2lb M J lost a very good fish also after a prolonged fight. Trout were quite small.Very few fish moving. Nevertheless we enjoyed ourselves. It really is a very nice beat & a stunning location. Would like to come back when conditions more favourable. Small nymph & small dry BWO did the damage.

Fished top end of beat in morning. Had an eel. Walked back to hut end only to find pump running so back to middle of beat for two four pounds plus chub.

We got 5 trout sized 10 to 11" on dry flies, Adams and EHC, and 2 impressive Grayling sized 14 to 15" on wet flies. Dozens of fish hooked on flies but we could not land most of them. All fish landed were safely returned to the river. Water was very clear and the river was so beautiful. We had not realized until we got there that this beat is split in two halves with a protected spawning area in-between where fishing is not allowed. The lower end of the spawning area was unclear and we could not find any sign of it. There is no written explanation about the spawning zone on the beat summary we got from WUF. So I suggest WUF to add the explanation to the beat summary. Apart from that, the river is so beautiful and stunning. Many thanks to WUF.
