Feedback & Reports

We travelled to the Wye over the weekend with rivers closed and everything in the balance until Monday when we received the brilliant news that the river had re-opened.
A respectful approach was employed and how the beat performed with Chub coming from start to finish mostly in the 3lb-4lb range and a couple tipping up from there. All fish handed out and returned with minimum fuss. One barbel made an appearance, circa 6-7lbs, which provided a moment of variety in the day. Float fished bread, meat and corn did the trick for the chub with the barbel falling for a Krill Wafter stuck to a method feeder. Great days fishing.

Well , I thought I’d have a mooch over at the Hundred House …….a pleasing sight too , when I got there … I didn’t tackle up initially , took a thermometer reading , which I’m happy to say was at 14 degrees , so fishing was on . The little Edw was running with a slight tinge too . Looked promising …

And good fun this morning she was too ……..almost Autumnal down in the Edw valley , drizzle , breezy and about fifteen degrees too ….. nice !!!! I fished this morning between ten and one , and three times had a refreshing downpour , only for ten minutes at a time though ……

Dry fly action as always here , good sport on an f fly and good old Para Adams , the usual splashy aggressive takes , and a few fluffed ones , which is always the case here , so fast and feisty !!! Lovely stamp of fish this morning too , three were about eleven inches , in a tally of seven . …. Nice to see the river a bit more “ lively “.

Olives about from elevenish , and also sedges too , and as always , great to see the kingfisher bombing downstream , an absolute jewel ……..

Lambs in the field getting tubby now , I dare say soon they’ll be off , and the fields quiet once more ..Almost harks the end of the season then doesn’t it , or certainly it looming !!!!!! Ohhhh well , was a bit different weather wise this time last week …. 36 degrees I think out Pudelston way , pppffftttttt way tooooooo warm for the U.K.

A lovely few hours on one of my favourites , made a nice change from Claerwen reservoir , although I can’t complain , sport up there has been fantastic too …… happy days !

Quite a few fish rising as there was fresh water in the river. Caught two on dry Daddy. Nothing doing using nymphs. Lovely evening.
