Feedback & Reports

Fished many a spot and only found bites in a couple of them. Fish caught were all in tip top condition.

9 Barbel, 7 Chub

Difficult fishing conditions but in a short afternoon trip rewarded with 4 good barbel to 8lb and several chub between 2 and 4lb. Thanks to Tim the banks were all nice and trim but will soon be in need another seeing to. A few rods booked this weekend so try and be there before the canoes get to numerous. Good Luck.

What a treat, fish moving but no contact. Good access, Little Run is hot I expected a pull every cast. Shall definitely return if I can. Margins teeming with fry, hope the Heron doesn't spot them.

Chris Major 18lbs, R.Welsh 10lbs. Both spinning. Total from Redbrook now 16 Cadora Backs 8.

Fished from 1pm-4:30pm. There was a brisk downstream wind with few flies seen hatching and nothing rising, so I decided to nymph rather than use a dry fly. In total I caught 15 trout, all on the same tungsten bead pheasant tail nymph, which was fished using short line nymphing tactics. One good sized fish of about 14 inches caught just before I left.

15 Trout

Water low and clear. Very few fish rising. Some fly activity mid afternoon otherwise very quiet. Three small fish taken during the afternoon on wet fly (march brown) fishing downstream in wide run towards top of beat.

3 Trout

Water low and clear. No hatches and fish only rising sporadically, mostly in the larger pools. Good sport with 3 or 4 rising to Adams Parachute and a 10" fish on a Klinkhammer.

Friday. Started fishing the parsons tree stream area had 3 chub to 4lb using pellet feeder. Hook baits meat and pellets. River low. Afternoon and evening fished Vanstone pool. Had 2 barbel one 5lb the other 9lb 14ozs.
Saturday. Fished the Rope area. No fish. Went to sleep instead. Early and late evening fished Parson's again baited 4 pegs and rotated them. Had two barbel one was 7lb 5ozs and the other 8lb 10ozs. River dropping same tactics as Friday. Lovely day. Note to self (bring float tackle for day time when low and bright.
All fish were caught in honour of Robert Hudson. He would of been the 2nd rod. Thank you to all at the Wye and Usk for providing us with the opportunity to enjoy the fishing and surroundings over 4yrs I have great memories of Backney, Wyebank, Courtfield, Middle Hill Court and where it all began Holme Lacy with Colin.

2 trout biggest 1 of about 7" both taken on gold head nymph. As a fairly new beginner and 1st time fishing small stream , although I found it frustrating getting tangled in the canopy :-) I will be back! Fun!
