Feedback & Reports

Started fishing at 1pm and had fantastic day with immediate success. 6 x WBT: 1 x 6", 5 x 10-14" providing great sport. All caught on small GHHEN all fish returned safely.

I had a very enjoyable day with Frank Williams on this beat. Nothing to show for it but lots learnt. I like the beat for its great variety of water in terms of flow and depth. I had several takes and some hooked and lost with a small one landed but not kept. Probably one keeper hooked and lost.

Trout were all taken on nymphs of various descriptions in moderately deep cold water. I shall return when time permits.

14 Brown Trout to 12". Also, 2 at 11". The rest small. Odd Mayfly hatching.

Four brown trout - all over 10in - and released as always. Lost four as well.
River a little "brown" due to the previous days welcomed rain.
All caught on dries.
A super day with easy access to the water.

Did not fish 30th May nor 6th June as on holiday.
Water 3 ft and chocolate. Nothing showing. Spun for Salmon for 5 hours to no avail. River should fish well remainder of week.

Tricky wind. 1 x grayling and 1 x trout caught - both around 10" and taken on a GRHE. Fish rose to the dry but didn't connect. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

The weather was foul (heavy rain and blustery wind) but the fishing was surprisingly good. The surroundings are simply stunning and the river is wonderful. Oh and the fish?! Despite my bungling efforts and the awful conditions 2 WBT came to the net (both about 9 inches) - one to a spangly nymph and one to a klink. The rain did stop eventually and there was a modest evening rise with most fish taking emergers. Lost a grayling that what would have been a PB by a long way. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to make the trek again - sorry darling!

A short visit due to copious amount of rainfall. Managed to catch and return 2 trout about 10" and a small grayling on a wet(!)Partridge & Orange.

Persistent rain and a low temperature characterised this day.
I began fishing at 09.30 using nymphs of various sizes 12 - 16.
I caught 2 tommy tiddlers before the river began to colour and I had had enough, I came off at 13.00 the river having risen slightly and the water beginning to colour.

During the morning there were no rising fish, although there did seem to be a hatch at about 11am for 30 mins of what look like olives to me...not being a great entomologist. I could see little movement or fish life.

I caught four brown trout to 8 inches and two small salmon parr, all returned.
By 5pm the river had turned chocolate brown and I packed up. Interestingly the muddy water was all coming out of the Clettwr, the Wye above the confluence was clear.
