Feedback & Reports

Two small class well mended kelts and one good size trout caught spinning, although most of the day I spent with a fly rod. No harm in trying given the fact that water was very good in terms of colour and rocks and woods surrounding Severn Sisters offer very good wind protection. Thank you.

Managed to land a fresh 25lb cock fish from the Vanstone pool, Goodrich yesterday after a 30 minute scrap. Black, yellow and orange homemade 3inch brass tube with a conehead on a fast sinking line. My friend also landed a 12lbs kelt from above the Wires.

Two inexperienced Salmon fisherman refusing to get out the spinning rod! Not the easiest fly water but some lovely runs which will no doubt become more productive if it ever warms up. A real bonus to be able to drive the whole length of this long beat. Beautiful surroundings especially as there were no canoes or coarse fisherman!! Spoke to the owner and another regular on the beat who were very pleasant and helpful. Unfotunately their advice came too late in the day to save a blank. Will be back soon.

Two fish both returned. 3 lb approx and 3/4 lb approx on nymph

Fished for a couple of hrs in the evening, no salmon caught or seen. Nice fly water for a quick session.

After landing a 14lbs fish on the Golden Mile, fished White House and took a 19lbs salmon here also.

First visit to this beat, tried spinning, alas nothing showing despite good conditions. A blank but nonetheless, a fine day at the river.

22lb salmon, taken on flying c.

Fished New Zealand-style. Saw nothing moving or rising. Water low and very cold. Vaguely depressing, actually.

G and I fished from top through Woodstream. Water .67m and clear. Reasonable hatch at 12.30-2pm, mainly Olives but the occasional March Brown. Fished over a rising trout below log and fish took, tore off downstream and bust 3lb line. Took dark Olive. Persisted with dark olive above rock and hooked another around 1.5lb which came off before landing.
Weather fine and 8C.
No activity after 2.30pm. Fished till 4pm with no further takes.
