Feedback & Reports

didnt fish much today. even though the river had gone down quite a bit from yesterday there is nowhere you can get in the water here unless it is quite low. on the plus side it is possibly the best parking spot on the entire river and a nice comfy sofa in front of the hut where i spent sometime drinking tea and watching the river. i am a little bit confused why the top of the beat ends half way up the owners field where the is a nice flat that would have been easily fishable, but appears to be out of bounds ?

Was fortunate enough to have a chat with Richard, the owner of this striking stretch of Wye water, shortly after arriving at The Rocks. As a novice grayling angler I got some good tips on preferable water height and parts of the beat likely to produce grayling. It turned out that today's water level was too high for wading access to the more productive spots so left the river much earlier than planned. Looking forward to going back when the level comes down and to fishing the recommended spots. This is a well maintained beat with excellent, safe parking.

did`nt go, looked like the water was too high to fish this beat

The river was an ugly brown colour but tried over the gravel with the help of the owner. Nothing caught but a great location and well managed beat

Easy access to the beat and great to be able to park on the bank. River conditions pretty good showing 10" on the Llanstephan Gauge. 6 wbt to 16" and 6 grayling to 16" caught between the two anglers. All but one taken on dries - Adams, sedge, F-fly. All fish returned safely. Plenty of variety on this water with some productive glides, riffles and very deep pools. Had an interesting and informative chat with the owner and already looking forward to fishing this lovely beat next season.
