Feedback & Reports

Tough conditions - low water and high sun. DB took a good grayling mid-morning on a heavy nymph fished NZ style in fast water; approx 1.5-2lb and in great condition. SB lost another just before lunch on a heavy nymph. Not much surface movement.

After lunch some splashy rises started to appear - couple of half-hearted attempts at the sedge came to nothing, and there was very little activity there after. DB did take a small WBT on a deep nymph as evening approached, and then lost 2 grayling as the day wound to a close.

A great beat with great access - just needs a flush of water to really bring it to life.

Having caught 40 Chub the day before there were still plenty feeding...only a couple of Barbel but they were both good fish in the 6 to 7lb bracket...We left early for the long trek home and catch the last hour of the cricket on the radio which was one of our better moves!!

No fish and no rises - very overgrown

Another nice half day on Bideford Brook. Water is low but plenty of fish rising in the deeper pools.. all fish caught on a size 18 black Klink Hammer ..

Very special section of water I always fish when in the area ..

After Saturdays slow session I was hoping that the fast moving water of Wyebank might be where all the fish were hiding. We got off to a good start having a couple of Barbel early doors before the boat traffic. That was sadly my only Barbel of the day. My friend managed to do better than me and had 4. We both fished the boat pool and had a lot of problems with weed on the line. Was still a very enjoyable day but couldn’t help but be a little disappointed seeing previous catch reports.

Fished around Erwood Pool and Gravely Pool. All small fish and safely returned. Nymph and dry fly used. Most caught by the expert amongst us but 15 yr old Will (new to fishing) caught his first fish.

We fished in the middle field choosing two pegs in the trees. On a warm and cloudy day the river was low and slow (for the Wye) but had a slight tinge of colour still. Several small chub and one around 3lb plus a couple of dace were caught on a variety of baits (meat, pellet, sweet corn). For the last few hours we moved further down stream but nothing was caught.
