Feedback & Reports

After making an effort to delay my start to 3pm I was pleased to find lots of olives and a few Mays around and fish actively feeding, albeit not at the surface much. Plenty of attention from smaller trout in the riffles. A PTN with an orange bead accounted for about half and a black spider with silver rib the others. 12 trout to 12”, one oos grayling and two salmon parr.

No Salmon seen but the river was alive with shad never seen so many !

Another great day, the day started fine and still but an annoying downstream wind made things challenging in the afternoon.
A steady flow of fly life and active fish throughout the day. The biggest trout of the day was just over 2lb caught in very deep water.

Conditions perfect but alas no fish caught. Regards Denis

Lots of trout rising above mainly above the gutters and below the boat, three 8"-9" caught, a few missed, water cleared after a murky Sunday flow.

A morning out with the trout rod. Difficult conditions but managed to bring a few to hand , most fish at 10inches with one OOS Grayling to 16 ins.

Sunny and warm with the River ultra clear and about 14” on the Llanstephan gauge. All grayling in the 8-10” range as were the trout except for one at about 15”. Team of three flies; beadhead red tag on the point, black and olive spiders on the droppers. A few olives around but fish as reluctant to rise as seems to me to be the norm on this stretch of the Wye.

Beautiful beat and great conditions. We had very good feeling about the day but unfortunately, as on previous 2 days, we did not see any salmon. One grayling on 12g Flying C was a huge surprise.
We loved our 3 days fishing on Wye and we'll be back soon for sure.

1 Grayling

Heavily built slightly coloured 22lb+ cock fish from the Iron Gate catch at the bottom of the beat. It took a 1" black and yellow tube on a fast sinking sink tip. Took solidly on the inside of the gutter and a great 1st run, taking over 100 yards of line. Almost made it to the abstraction works!
