Feedback & Reports

Hooked one on very first cast (in neck of Smoke House Pool), at rod tip, which fell off almost immediately and that, sadly, was that.

A fishless but enjoyable day. It felt like the water was still a few inches too high and all the 4 fish seen appeared to be travelling. The beat has some 1st class fly water, plenty of holding water and has obvious potential. There is more than enough water to keep 4 rods entertained for a day. Wading the salmon rock under the shadow of the Severn Sisters was a stunning experience.

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.

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.

Didn't see any fish moving. Fished from 11 till late but didn't manage to cover all the fly-fishable water.

1 Trout

Caught a 14lber on a red Flying 'C' from Martin's Bar (far bank). Bumped another one off and saw fish moving in a 'porpoising fashion' off the tail of Martin's Island. Out again tomorrow!

1 Salmon

Not a chance; river was in flood, a raging brown torrent. Lovely place though, I'll be back.

Unfortunately rained off but look fwd to re booking

River on the rise and starting to colour up. Saw a couple of fish move but no takers!
