Feedback & Reports

2 x parr at less than 6 inches is all I have to declare on the grayling front. Plus 1 x out of season trout at 15 inches - a non-native with a blue spot on his belly; I guess we can blame Tregate Anglers downstream for that one. So, not a very productive day, but a peaceful and charming one: the mild winter weather and the valley at Skenfrith were just about perfect.

River in nice condition but disappointing fishing. Several cormorants seen. I'm sure they are not helping.

1 Trout, 1 Grayling

Two small grayling in the morning,and two 16" grayling about 3pm on a grhe goldhead, water was crystal clear. Also three salmon seen.

4 Grayling

River low and clear, just one grayling about 40cm, and one trout. No other offers, struggled on quite a mild day on what felt like a good fishing day. A few olives trickled off between 11-2. Really quite tough and a tad disappointing.
Watched a number of salmon chasing each other around and spawning which was nice to see.

River low and clear. Lost 1 Grayling and caught 3 brown trout trotting with maggot.

Pleasant beat but river was very low and as clear as gin.
No contact made with any grayling. Requires a bit of water I think. I bet it fishes well in summer for trout which is when I think I'll give it another try.
Large salmon of about 10lbs lying dead in the river with large bite out of it.

A good day, there is plenty of fishing on this beat and the long runs seemed to hold the fish. Heavy nymphs did the job.
Best Grayling was about 1 3/4 pound.

River very clear, struggled all day. No sign of barbel but my first grayling saved the day. Fantastic stretch of river.

Only one grayling (7 inches) caught but 2 out of season wbt (biggest 13 inches). Fished a single beaded czech nymph. Lost one other trout. All caught downstream of the weir. A lovely day to be out.

Perfect conditions and a lovely bit of river. No fish caught. Couple of salmon seen and one large dead hen fish.
