Feedback & Reports

Water very low and clear, all fish taken were only 5/7 inches max. Perhaps the reason no larger fish were caught was the arrival of 2 people at around 18.45pm fishing the far bank with what looked like spinning or worming tackle. They made off when we approached, obviously local as they new where to go!
Also had to politely request the family who arrived to go swimming not to as we were trying to fish!
Otherwise a nice day and thanks to W & U for usual efficient booking etc.

Hot, bright conditions and water low and clear. Saw plenty of fish and numerous rises but couldn't tempt one. The river in the two woodland sections is completely inaccessible from the overgrown banks but plenty of other stretches to cast from.
Overall a lovely stretch of river in a peaceful location.

Small fish (15cm to 25cm) on dry flies.

Dry fly, 0.5lb, Returned. Water very low and little activity.
A fair amount of fishing over grown and inaccessible. Need to access weir from right bank. Beautiful spot.

All fish caught were around five inches in length using klink and dink and were in superb condition. This river has changed considerably over the last twelve months, the flood water has really left its mark. Himalayan Balsam is also starting to take a hold on this stretch of water which is very concerning.
Thanks to the Wye and Usk for their help in booking the water.

Great day following some heavy showers. Water clear with a little colour. Slow to start with fish taking nymphs or black spiders. Fly hatch mid afternoon with a nice early evening rise with fish taking mayfly, Hawthorne, blue dune etc. No fish of any size but enjoyable all the same. Only criticism would be the over grown woodland sections. With over hanging branches and brash making access impossible to large sections of the beat, even by wading on at least one third of the beat, which was disappointing.

Enjoyed my day, some really nice streamy water. Some of the meanders however were rather dull. Lots hatching including mayfly. Caught loads of tiddlers using a variety of small pattern dry's, nothing else though - where were the bigger ones?

Evening session 7-10. Early fish on small tungsten hairs ear nymph. Fish started rising but I think smutting. Couldn't get them consistently interested in my tiny flies but a few splashy rises to small Wulff and later to spinners. Trout 9-11 inches in excellent condition and OOS grayling 9-12inches. Beautiful still evening.

Very hot and sunny, water level 1ft 3 inches on Lugg cam. Fish caught on nymphs (GRHE small) with the exception of 2 WBT on klinkhammers.

Hot and bright most of the day with some cloudy spells.
Moderate rises and this was when most fish were caught on dries on the main wide section below the foot bridge, although one angler had several pulls on nymphs and caught one on the fast flowing are in the woods but the bridge.
