Feedback & Reports

A successful first outing of the 2012 season yesterday with 3 trout caught and 1 lost, all of about 1lb and in lovely condition. Taken on CDC emergers and duns during a decent LDO hatch, but which was localised to the faster water about 70 yards upstream of the bridge. Flies started to appear at around 12.30pm with the hatch at its most intense at around 1.30pm. It was all over by 2.15pm.

Heavy rain during the night and morning of our fishing, turned a lot colder - water relatively clear, but banks very slippery. Slow day, only a couple of chub. Will go back.
Adam and Allyson of W&U great help as it was our first time on this beat - thanks to both of you.

Missed the best of the weekend's weather and the fish seemed to agree. Interesting and very varied beat, although I confined my attentions to the lower section from The Windmill down to Corner Tree. No action to speak of and with a cold strengthening wind and driving rain, it was more like Patagonia than Herefordshire! Will return...

1 X 10lb Salmon caught on lure, staying at the Red Lion.

Due to the heavy rain and low temperature I only fished the beat for about 90 minutes and inevitably "blanked". I will return!

Nil caught. River was high and the weather was miserable - packed up early!

Lost one decent fish in some fast water near the top of the beat, apart from this I saw one fish rise all day. Whenever the breeze got up there was a real cold edge to it and so it wasn't surprising that the fishing was so hard.

Unfortunately I didn't make it onto the river due to work commitments but would like to say how helpful my contact Ian Boney was. Thanks.

four good size chub and two barbel, lost a couple of barbel also. Bait used mainly pellet both on hook and in feeder.

A bit of a struggle for myself today, couldn't settle in the right swim, managed 1 barbel and 3 chub. Honours undoubtably go to Mr J Dixon of Farnham who managed 13 barbel to 8lbs, top fishing, sweetcorn the going bait.
