Feedback & Reports

River in excellent condition, gin clear, ambient temp 9C but very cold wind and very cold water, no hatch, no fish, just a pleasurable few hours.

Blank as far as springers were concerned, but an interesting and pleasant day all the same. 2 x very well mended kelts, both at 34 inches, taken by spinning - if I read the map correctly - Smoke House and Four Oaks pools, plus several hefty trout at the bottom end. Fresh salmon were seen moving in a number of places including at least one twenty. There is a lot to learn about this beat, which hasn't been fished seriously for salmon for a long time. Many thanks to Adam Fisher for inviting me to fish the owner's rod.

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.
