Feedback & Reports

River high and coloured, borderline unfishable, but we gave it a go. Searching out the deeper pots and eddys, we managed 3 grayling and a couple of WBT on heavy shrimp and peeping caddis patterns. Nothing big but any catch in the conditions felt like a victory.

River up but fishable with enough swims for 4. 2 blanks, 1 had 3 & lost a couple, 1 had 6 & lost 4 so even though conditions were tough it was worth sitting it out. Will definitely return to this area.

Only 2 thought the trip would be worth it with the river up. Both rods had a fish each but couldn't move around enough to find fish.

Second day on the Wye after blank first day river was still up around 2.6 metres. We decided to fish bottom section which proved a mistake not many slacks to aim for and once again all three rods had no bites just one foul hooked eel! Again it is hard to judge this water on the conditions.

River up but still had 7 barbel best fish was 10lb 4oz plus 2 chub.

Fished afternoon/evening had 7 barbel to 10lb and 2 eels all on groundbait feeder and pellet

Sea trout 3 1/2 lbs & several small trout on large, heavy tubes intended for salmon. Unfortunately no salmon seen or touched.

Water a little high for confident fishing on this beat with water lapping over the top of my chest waders on more than one occasion, so not easy fishing. Nothing seen or caught.

No fish caught.
River in flood access to swims limited due to conditions

River very high and dirty with a large amount of weed coming down river making fishing very difficult. Very few fishing pegs fishable. Only two chub caught around three pound caught.
