Feedback & Reports

Another great couple of days fishing this beat. Despite the colour of the water on Saturday 28th we took nine trout and four grayling ranging from 1/2 - 1 pound.

The 29th saw much better conditions water levels slightly lower and clearer with more grayling than trout taking wet flies. The day finished with seven grayling, four trout, and two very happy anglers.

Brown trout - approx 20. Grayling - approx 15. Fishing and area was superb. Good instructions to find beat. Will be back maybe to try another part of the Wye.

11 barbel to three rods all caught at top end of beat on Halibut pellet. Most fish 4-9lb with a couple of 2lb'ers.
Very hot day with two fish before 10am and then nine more after 4pm.

I.M. - 2 Grayling around 10".

T.H. - 3 Grayling around 8/10", 2 Trout around 12"

All fish returned in good condition. Good day out in lovely location. Most fish caught on dry fly.

Caught 3 grayling, 1 trout. Pleasant days fishing. Few fish rising, all returned.

Good days fishing, missed some bites, lost a good barbel. Ended with 2 chub and 1 eight pound barbel, all on pellet.

Fished from 09.00 till 13.00 in windy conditions. Plenty of fish rising and lots of flies hatching but only managed to hook 1 smallish grayling who wriggled off as my net approached.

Caught and released on 29/08/09 at Lyn Em on the Lower Caban beat using Mepps spinner. Length 28" Weight approx 10lb.
Hen fish.

Lovely stretch of water bumped into the Gillie Gerry lewis who was very helpful and walked the river with us and showed us the best swims. We finally settled on a deep hole under a large tree which provided shade. The dreaded weed caused problems again and was considering packing up early. However about 1pm the river level dropped about 10ins and weed was less of a problem. I caught 1 Chub 2.5lb & 5 Barbel 4.5lb, 1.5lb, 1lb, 8lb and 6lb. All by 5.30pm.

A lovely day out with the Wye running nice and clear. I didn't catch any salmon although I did experience a few snatches on an old brown and gold Devon Minnow at the tail end of the beat, just below the Wyebank Pool.
