Feedback & Reports

My father caught one nice trout from a fast riffle, but i was struggling to connect. I believe the majority of this fish were in the top pool of this beat. The pool's wooded sides make casting difficult if not impossible. I needed a hand out of the mud right at the top. It sucked the sole right off my wading boot.

Maybe I should have spent more time fishing where the fish were, rather than where I wanted them to be. Sitting motionless and waiting for a fish to come in range and somehow dangle a fly in front of it would possibly be a winning technique, but is far from what I’d consider fly fishing.

My GRHE nymph wasn’t interesting any trout today, but the shoals of minnows swarmed around it like piranhas, gamely attacking a prey huge relative to their body size.

Maybe there is a way to avoid them blank? Yes, I’m going there. I tied on my smallest, barbless hare’s ear, and dangled it at my feet. The tiny fish swarmed around it until one appeared which was big enough to take the fly in its mouth. I’d intentionally targeted a fish whose name is a synonym for small in the English language. Still, blank avoided and a new species for me. And I’m not even sorry.

A great few hours from 6pm to dusk. Rise activity around 8pm. Success on klinkhammer and sedge.
Thanks WUF

It was an amazing day. I’ve used 11ft euro nymphing rod and caught over 25 brown trouts on nymph, three of them were really nice fishes between 1.1/2-2 pounds. An outstanding fishery and river.
Thank you Wye and Usk foundation!

River very low, limited activity no fish taken

River very low, tough going. Directions to the beat could be clearer. Wording says 'Proceed through gate bearing left and go through another two gates". Would be better to say 'go through the first gate and then go through the next gate immediately on the left...'

Felt a lot better today managed five trout biggest 14". All caught on nymphs, none taken.
