Feedback & Reports

Arrived 8am, a fresh breeze with a hint of autumn in the air. In previous visits the fishing has been just great, plenty of action, rising fish to target. Not today, it was very dour. The wind dropped and the odd fish rose here and there. I managed to pick up a few trout in the quieter spells, all around 5-6 ozs. Not a great day by Bugeilyn standards but a fabulous wee spot, I will be back next season.

Caught nothing either on nymphs or streamer. The water was too high and way too colored. I left after 3 hopeless hours, it was a waste of time (and money). Should we be warned when the water is in such a state in the middle of summer ?
Is the wash-off policy working for this ? Please advise

WUF note: Wash off policy applies to this beat and is granted in this occasion. Please keep and eye on the webcams when there is rain around.

Nil caught. Hooked a good fish by the Pylon swim, lost after a couple of minutes, not really sure why! Fished early, river rising and coloured. Should have thought more about fishing on a Sunday in August, with significant volume of canoes coming down the river.

1 fish between 2 rods - water very high.

Bejamin Woods aged 8, caught his first salmon on Sunday morning. It was a fresh hen fish about 7lb taken on a spinner in the Boat Pool, at Newbridge.

A good day with around 20 trout between the two rods and almost as many missed / lost. Best was a lovely 14" fish to H.W. Most came to G.R.H.E in the faster, more oxygenated water. Parr almost became a 'nuisance' but great to see so many in the river for the future!

River dropping and clearing as day went on but no salmon seen but did manage two small brown trout. Great day in great surroundings.

Caught 19 fish between us, 10 chub and 9 barbel. Another very enjoyable day on the Wye.

Nice section 1 chub & 8 barbel. On meat, bread & pellet.
Field only good for 4 x 4 but parking at bottom of section is fine. First swims fished best.

Ten fish taken on Gold Head Hare's Ear (14) and F Fly. Nine grayling to three quarters of a pound and one small WBT. River was in good order and the day bright and warm. I love this stretch of water.
