Feedback & Reports

River conditions made 95% of beat unfishable. Could only access two places safely. All fish taken on maggot in slack water.

1 Trout, 3 Chub

Day trotting for Grayling. 10am to mid-day. Downstream of Church. 3 grayling, 12 to 15 inch and a very small oos brownn trout. Saw group of (migrating?) firecrests or goldcaps in trees next to church. Mid-day to dusk in field below 2 islands. No bites until 15.00 then found shoal immediately below islands caught 5 grayling, 10 to 15 inch. Moved 50yds downstream to top of long gravel run caught 1 large grayling of around 18 inch and at dusk 1 chub of around 2lb. Note: unusually all the Grayling were male fish and in excellent condition and colour. This is a beautiful peaceful place to spend an Autumn day and beat is an combination of excellent access and thoughtful bank maintenance. Thanks to WUF and owners.

9 Grayling, 1 Chub

River a bit higher than we had anticipated but still fishable with heavy feeders. By the end of the day it had dropped further and although still fast look spot on. Regrettably the fish didn't seem to realise this and only one chub came to the net. Nevertheless the scenery, weather and company were perfect and Colin came along for a chat later on, so all in all a very pleasant day.

1 Chub

Overnight rain caused the river to rise and WUF kindly allowed a wash off.

Tough going after earlier cold snap - 1 Chub in 3-4lb range.

First time we have fished this stretch. A beautiful spot which looks like it has bags of potential. Am keen to take another look at it under different river conditions so will be paying this stretch another visit or two.

Wind blowing and the river pushing through. Plenty of debris so very hard conditions. Only managed one Chub.
A really great 2 days on the Wye. Thanks

High water level and slightly coloured. managed to catch a couple of Grayling about 1/2 lb between us.

1 chub approx 2lbs, water cold but clear.

Afraid nothing caught between the three of us. Second visit to this beat with good access and easy parking.
