Feedback & Reports

At 6 degrees C river was warmer than the 4 degree C air temperature. River a bit high for any wading but very pleased with thermals and neoprene for the little wading done. Very interesting beat well cared for, with taking spots at all heights well explained, by Mich. Looking forward for session later in season. If I were a salmon I think I would keep my head down deep or even stay in the sea at 8 degree C.

Cloudy cold 6C weather, cloudy grey green cold 40F water, 1'5" Fownhope gauge, falling very slowly. Fly fished Stones, Doghole, Gabions, Upper Lines, Maddox, Corner & Vanstone with 1.5" & 1.0" brass tubes on fast sinking lines. No touches or sightings of fish. Will be back when water warms up and is a little lower after next spate in April. A good beat.

To fish the beat without Mick would be like eating cheese without the biscuits,bread without the jam. A fabulous day, water a bit high and far too cold but expected a pull in every pool thanks to Micks guidance.Thank you again.

First visit to Goodrich Court, tried spinning with flying C, mepp and Devon minnow to no avail. Didn't see any fish whatsoever. Water level and clarity was good, cold gusty Easterly wind only down side. Thoroughly enjoyed the day. Look forward to visiting later in the season. Used the Hostelrie at Goodrich for overnight stay, superb food and accomm.

Wash Out - I didn't fish.

Several fish showing but failed to tempt anything.

Landed an 18lb cock fish from the Dog Hole. Lost another from the V, caught on a Bann Special.
Canoe traffic very light today (only saw one), but lots of detached weed coming down the river today which was a nuisance. Really enjoyable few days on the Wye. Thank you!
