Feedback & Reports

4 trout to hand, but not one of them would tell me where all the grayling were! Ha! I let them go all the same!

4 Trout

River seemed to be up a couple of feet and very fast flowing. We will definitely be returning when conditions are better!

Conditions perfect for this time of year, but fish hard to find. Good sized OBT taken within the first few cast to heavy nymph. No other fish taken until early afternoon then a hatch of BWO happened and I had 4 Grayling to the dry.

1 Trout, 4 Grayling

Fishing for pike, dead baits. Tried a few swims without luck, maybe another time. River level ok, could do with a tinge of colour. Thanks WUF for the easy booking system.

River was in excellent order, perhaps it was just me or my quarry picking up the vibrations from my shivering legs. Not normally a beat I blank on but there you go eh? One of those weekends, even booked a beat for Sunday that I can't make it! An inauspicious end to the year, back in the spring!

The river was high but very clear. We caught one chub on spam using a ground bait feeder and halibut pellets. We didn't get any other bites.

Very clear, very bright, very cold but beautiful - We didn't catch!

All looked good for a session on the Irfon. Recent catch reports had been good, the Cilmery guage read 0.56 and the weather, if cold, was dry.
Off I went at 6am for the 98 mile drive to Llangammarch Wells.
Started fishing at 9am with that youthful enthusiasm that I hope will never leave me, even though I'm in my late 50's!
To cut what could be a long story short, I blanked! The only excitement being a fish on briefly and lost, and lots of "leaf fish"
To add insult to injury I broke the top section of my rod and put two, barbed wire inflicted holes, in my waders, resulting in a wet leg and a very cold foot!
I gave up at 2.30pm wondering why I bothered! It was cold with the rod rings freezing until late morning.
Some degree of order was restored when I stopped in at Sportfish and ordered a new rod tip and Danny ( thank you Danny) offered to repair my waders.
Some days I wonder why I bother! But I always go back!

Only one small pike to show for my efforts, nice to be back on the Wye though.

1 Pike

Fishing for pike & perch on dead-baits and lures. A number of swims tried, 1 pike to a lure around 9lbs. River level ok, condition good, could do with a touch of colour. Thanks to WUF for venues such as this one and for the booking system.
