Feedback & Reports

Very sparse olive hatches. Lots of takes to flies fished sub surface though, most of which I missed.
Grouse and Partridge hackled wets most effective.
No interest whatsoever in a variety of nymphs that were offered. They closed shop shortly after 3.00 as usual.

First time on this beat, parked middle car parking, arrived at 2pm small hatch happening and a couple rising ,hooked up one on pop up emerger and lost.
Tried nymphs/spiders though faster water below poplar pool ,not a bite but a good test for fitness and balance, on hands and knees at one stage!! .Went in faster water around vicarage pool put on a heavy pt nymph and manage a nice 12" trout around 6pm then called it a day.
My mate had a tough day, blame on the lack of chicken and ham pie from Ledbury.
Will be back soon as thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon, i'm sure some one who knew what they were doing would have caught a lot more

Worst days fishing in many years of this excellent beat. River quite high but fishable. Very very cold. Hatch around midday but no takers. One trout about 8oz surrendered itself in sympathy to a down stream nymph

Beautiful venue, with easy access including stiles over, and gates through, the electric fence. I fished the stretch between the weir and the footbridge. River was not particularly high but flowing fast after rain all day yesterday and I was a bit wary about wading in parts.

No rises, and no sign of a hatch, so stuck to nymphs and west, but no luck. Hopefully a return later in the season will prove more productive.

Reasonable hatch of LDO'S but very few fish rising.
Hooked 3 fish but only one came to the net.

3 trout and 1 out of season grayling all caught on spiders mainly orange and partridge. Seam from the main riffle by the fishing hut proved productive.

3 Trout, 1 Grayling
