Feedback & Reports

River high but clear appart from the Luggsmouth Pool which had a brown slick running down the far bank. Only had 2 fish all day, a 4lbs chub and a 7lbs barbel, both caught on 12mm x2 halibut pellets. Can't wait until my next visit to this beat, thanks WUF.

River clear and at a good height (0.5 on the Cilmery gauge). Weather overcast, warm but with a persistent light drizzle. Despite such good conditions the fish were reluctant. We fished the top end of the fishery above the Grandstand and rose a few desultory fish to sparse hatches of Olives and Iron Blues and finished with three out of season trout and three or four grayling all about 8 or 9 inches. No interest to "bugs" fished hard over the gravel runs.

This is a report for four days 19th,20th and 22nd,23rd of October.
Began on the Friday with the river about 5 foot higher than normal levels and racing a chocolate milky colour. Two barbel 6.5lb and 5lb. Oh and a gudgeon. Saturday a barbel first and last cast of the day and one other 7.25lb,4lb,6lb and two chub. Both these days were clear after a misty start but the weather for my last two days were like sitting in a cloud. Day three river falling and clearer. Two barbel 5.75lb,4.25lb and three chub to 4lb. Last day only two chub. I also meet Colin Richardson who was very friendly and helpful. I am returning to fish in a couple of weeks.

One grayling 12", one trout 10"; many more takes. River 6" up, clear. Top beat excellent and enjoyable fishing. Might the stiles be checked over, to easier usage by over 80s? I look forward to returning next year and staying at the Cammarch Hotel.

Nice day for a white wedding and thats it, total peasouper on the way and back from Essex. Wonderfull Wye (usually) very full and fast but not flooded. On its way down actually but unfishable due to debris on every single cast. Far and wide had no problem driving my 2wd car to fishing hut and back allthough farmer had tied gate shut and my vehicle became the main attraction to a heard of cows and in turn covered it in hair, saliva and excrement (nice) but other wildlife fantastic. Saw two kingfishers trying it on to not much avail. Bad day but fished this beat twice before and had excelent sport so will be back next year. Probbaly try different beats in future, thanks Wye and Usk, two chub bites missed.

One small trout on roadside bank with worm. Good fishing all year and look forward to the spring for more spinning fun.
