Feedback & Reports

Early start but not any good. Conditions were good river starting to show her bones now. Two big trout caught and returned one about a pound and the other well over the 2lb mark. Just a note of caution though there is a big branch stuck in the willow pool and if not removed might cost you a fish.

Booked 2 days on 28th and 29th. I saw a dozen jumps in different pools. The heirag, the ferry, the head of spring pool, (a big cock fish jumping 3 times), leaning willow.
But it was a blank. I tried different flies and tubes, different depths, different angles. But nothing. Very frustrating. Nonetheless, I’ll be back soon.

A bright, warm and breezy day with a good flow on the Wye with a tinge of colour too. We fished mainly 'upside down' nymphs, sometimes in a 'klink and dink' set up. We also switched to the dry in the evening. Most fish were caught in the streamy water but the larger fish came from the deeper water. There were plenty of fish wherever we fished and all fish were in great condition. The wading is tricky in places and we occasionally would have benefitted from having a wading staff but we managed OK without. A salmon fisherman shared the beat with us. He told us he'd hooked and lost a couple of fish and also saw salmon jumping. A great day's fishing.

3 years since the last, so today’s fish @13lb to hand was a relief to say the least. Caught on a small bottle cascade fished deep on a fast sink tip slowly in the spring pool. Saw a big fish show 3 times in the tail of the ferry but not playing. I can now enjoy salmon fishing again.

Beautiful beat

fished early morning ,weeping willow pool , spring pool ,and gutters both with fly and spinner, didn't see or touch a fish. In my mind river near perfect condition

As before fished early and late. In the am fished the gutters above hellrig, Hellrig itself and then the house pool. There are fish there with a fish about 18lb showing a lot. In the evening tried the bridge pool and on the dusk back to the house pool to try for the showing fish. No luck at all.

River a lot higher than expected, a good 6 inches over the salmon boards. Nevertheless picked our way where we could and managed to pick up a few. No hatch of any kind really, only saw 2 fish rise all day some 50 yards or so near the far bank.
Highlight for me was to see a very large salmon maybe around 20lbs (give or take) completely air borne in the pool opposite the cottage.
