Feedback & Reports

I wasn’t expecting to catch today but from what I could gather the river was up 6” this week and a change in weather might’ve stirred a Salmon from its slumber down in the deeper pools but the river looked as though it’d dropped back down to its bones overnight. I gave Mill Stream, Neck of Rectory into Rectory a few hours on the fly but didn’t get a pull or see any sign of a Salmon.
There were a few fish rising to the very sparse number of flies so I nipped back to the car for my trout gear and promptly caught a nice OOS Grayling on a dry fly to save a blank before heading home before the rain.
Just an observation but I’ve fished the Tay, Tweed, Swale and Hampshire Avon in the past week and all were alive with aquatic fly life of all varieties but the Wye in comparison seems lifeless.

Very quiet day, very few fish seen on surface. Missed a couple of takes but that’s all. More a day for the nymph really.
Enjoyable though.

River very low and clear. Few fish rising to a sparse hatch of mayflies. Guess who hadn't put his mayfly box in the bag.
Managed 3 trout between 7 and 10 inches on a CDC Deer hair dun pattern. Spent a frustrating but fascinating hour trying to tempt a large trout that was enthusiastically wolfing down mayflies, but ignored everything I threw at it.
Lovely day on the river will be back soon, with the mayfly box.
