Today (7 March) on Holme Lacy 3 we had two fresh salmon. One estimated at between 25 and 26lbs caught on a Flying C by gillie Colin Richardson and then a fish between 15 and 16lbs caught by Gordon Lucock. Both returned safely. These are our ealiest fish since 1993. Bodes well!

[i]On Barbel fishing lower wye in February[/i]......can I just say what a marvellous time my friend and I had on the White House Fishery last week and thank you so much for accommodating the extra day for us due to our ?unforeseen? circumstances. We can?t wait to get back on the river in the new season and sample more of the pristine Barbel fishing on offer.

So it happened that we were all home before dinner time. Tired after a long journey, but with lots of great memories of a fantastic fishing week in a beautiful countryside. And with a thankful feeling towards all those people that helped us make the most of our time in Wales. We will certainly return one day.

We would like to thank you and your colleagues for all the work you put into making the River Walk such an enjoyable day. My wife & I were on the "Wye Coach" with Stephen and felt it had been well worth the effort of comming down from Rotherham South Yorkshire. I am sure that we will see you again next year perhaps & hopefully be able to fit in some fishing in the meantime.

Just a quick email to say thanks to you and all involved at your organisation for a great day out on the Autumn river walk. I met some really nice people and the guides were very informative, knowledgeable and most of all very enthusiastic. Would you also pass on my thanks to the cafe we went to for lunch. The meal was great and I had to have a second helping. All in all a great day. Looking forward to the next day out.

Just wanted to thank you all for a superb day out yesterday - it could not have been better!

I just wanted to thanks those who organised yesterday out on the various rivers. These things do not work well unless they are properly planned and yesterday hit all the spots!!! I think we were particularly lucky in spotting so many fish, especially at the falls...... wow!

I am very keen to have a go on some of the waters on the Usk that we visited next season, particularly the Penpont fishery.

I have attached a photo that you might like of a salmon jumping..... you may already have hundreds|!!!!!

Just to thank the Foundation for organising an excellent and informative day out yesterday, my wife and I really enjoyed our first river walk. Please pass this along to Simon and his colleagues.

Just to say what an excellent day out it was. Thanks.

A thoroughly enjoyable couple of days. Will need to fish both beats again since I spent as much time walking and watching as I did fishing. The Irfon is particularly pituresque (even in the grey skies and driving rain - thank Snowbee for breathable chest waders!) and the grayling fishing excellent.

Thank you for your execllent organisation. This really is a great scheme - I have hardly scratched the surface of the fishing on offer (6 beats so far this year) and what makes it is not the fishing (which is excellent - I worked out that in five visits to one beat I am averaging a barbel every 45 minutes of fishing time - + at least one chub for every barbel - outstanding by my standards) but the beautiful Wye Valley and its wildlife. Thank you and please do keep up the good work.
