Feedback & Reports

Arrived early in heavy rain and waited in car for half hour till rain eased. Started in the bottom pool with no success. Moved upstream and managed one small whisker late afternoon, poor return for the effort expended on our favourite beat. Hoping for better when we return before the season ends, assuming Andy has put the fish back in!!

River up and ripping through due to last nights rain. Not muddy though, more green?
Trotted red maggot, lost 3 small ones, don’t know what they were. Netted 2 OOS Brownies, one around 14”, great scrap in fast water.
As is usually the case on these small rivers a Chainsaw, Lopper and grappling hook would have been useful. Why all the barbed most of the way up the stretch. If it’s only to stop livestock falling in USE NORMAL WIRE SO FISHERMEN CAN HOP OVER SAFELY! Rant over.

First time at Eyton. River still high and turbid after recent rains but I wanted to visit before end of season. Managed one small grayling before an early finish.

Day 2 of our sesh on the Wye. Fishing a bit slower today, but the Barbel put in an appearance! Meat and paste again did the job. Mobile approach. Just fished the bottom section from the middle car park

Had a chance of two grayling but failed to land them.

Levels were falling but clarity was still not good.
