Feedback & Reports

Hoped the previous days rain would spark some interest, it did but only the trout! One at 20 inches which pumped the heart for a few seconds.
started 5am, fished The Rocks with an otter(though he seemed more interested in playing) finished at 1pm.

4 Trout

A good days fly fishing but only one salmon seen in The Rectory travelling through. Seven shad to 3.5lbs caught throughout the day on a size 10 Flamethrower that gave some good sport.
The condition of the banks by the Rectory and Neck are completely overgrown so that you cannot see the pot holes and caused many stumbles! The Rectory beat is described as a premier beat but the condition of this part of the banks would put it into the 4th division. Great shame as it is a lovely beat.

10lb salmon at 11am in the Rectory Neck to a brownish bottle tube on floating line.

1 Salmon, 2 Trout, 1 Chub

Water coloured from the night before as we had a bit of a rise. Fished for about 6 hours and even through a thunderstorm to catch a salmon but unfortunately not even a follow or a take? Saw 2 fish, one from the Bridge Pool and one in Ty Mawr Pool. Also, whoever cut the grass in Rock Pool many thanks as this can be a nightmare to fish especially like today when wading - it was so coloured you couldn't see your feet.

Fished all day yesterday from 6:30am with the water looking in prime conditions, slightly coloured with 1'5" on the gauge but to no avail again.
This year is certainly proving very tough catching the running fish just right. My 10th (200 mile round) trip to the Wye this season with only 1 fish to my name.
Notably my fellow angler hit a pod of Shad with umpteen takes and hook-ups in the Rock Pool tail out. If they're there, surely the Salmon are?!

1'10" dirty and falling after small rise. Nil return.

Water a pretty coloured still but improving all the time. Didn't quite pass the scientific nuts test. Felt good and just in the right spot, thump thump and a 3lb chub gave me a moment. 3 other Trout all around the pound mark took a Cascade tube. Lovely few hours.

3 Trout, 1 Chub

Fished the upper part of the beat. River was dropping, but still quite coloured. Had one good pull, but could have been a trout. Will certainly return!

Very enjoyable if rather wet day. Had brief contact with a fish but didn't stick.

First time on this beat but managed to cover most of the catches with fly as indicated on a very detailed beat description.
Some salmon were appparently showing in the Rectory Pool but none seen by me. Looking forward to next visits later in month, weather permitting.
