Feedback & Reports

Dropping to summer level now. Just a couple of hours late afternoon, as rain arrived not long after I did. Very little surface activity. A few rises to a prospected dry, though nothing stuck. Cattle in river.

Lovely place but clearly hit by water quality. Just began to get it right towards the end. Large numbers of eels seen leaping in the shallows. Others were eels

One angler only fished , late evening only. Sultry warm evening with light showers. Fair number of fish rising to duns, spinners & emergers. All fish caught on iron blue dun.
Rather grumpy Devon type bull in field on approach to the river. On returning to the car in the gloaming he started pawing the ground, kicking dirt and bellowing which certainly had the desired effect of me giving as wide a berth as possible, given that the access gate was within his fenced area. Hoping he will be rather more civil this evening!!

Not a great day for us, but we managed a couple of Chub to finish off our visit to the Wye.

Enjoyable days fishing at the top end, caught chub up to 4lb and a 8lb barbel last cast. Caught all fish ledgering using pellets and meat. Sorry to say but the river looked dead, no weed to speak of, and was low and brown compared to previous years
