Feedback & Reports

A bright, hot and sunny day. Water was quite low, so unlikely that any salmon were moving through. An interesting beat though, and I enjoyed my few hours.

Most fish caught on nymph - Bead head GRHE (point) or Bead head PTN (dropper), 2 fish to dry fly (Brown Parachute Adam's). Conditions warm & sunny, river fairly clear despite previous overnight rain. 1 grayling measured at 17"! A delightful day on a delightful beat.

4 barbel caught on spicy sausage dumbbell on the feeder. River high and coloured, first visit to the Wye, took a little while to figure, fish were close to bank under the trees. During the day around 8 cormorants spotted close by. Very enjoyable day definitely recommend.x

Lovely beat, hot day, no rise and very little insect life. Nothing caught - must try harder!

Fishing took a back seat to problems gaining entry to the fishery through two sets of farm gates fitted with cheap BQ combination locks. We had to lift a heavy farm gate off its hinges to gain access on a very busy road on double yellow lines. Exiting the fishery is even more dangerous.
WUF Note: We are in discussion with the fishery owner to try to resolve these access issues.

River perfect despite heavy rain all day. All fish taken on dry fly, fish to 1.5lb, no fish taken.

We both blanked in thunder storms and heavy rain for most of the day. This was our first time on this stretch and we fished the upper section. We found the swim choice limited, and in wet conditions the steep high banks made reaching the swims treacherous. A disappointing day.

Dry fly thunder storm with heavy rain all morning most fish taken last thing one at a pound and a half.
