Feedback & Reports

River very cold with lots of deris coming down. 3 nice chub and a nice eel.

River was low and clear so we were not expecting any bumper catches. We were pleased with the returns given the conditions.

Another great day on this beat, two of us managed 15 grayling (one 51cm!) and a handful of trout up to 2lb. There was a slight rise in water overnight which I think killed the fishing for the day as it wasn't as productive as previous trips. Although a small fly hatch around mid-day got some fish looking up on top. The bottom end of the beat produced the most fish, anywhere with clear gravel the grayling are sitting. Already looking forward to another session there.

Very low and crystal clear conditions made it a hard day and after many moves of swim one of the group (mad pat )found the fish in the top croy.

I’ve had some great catches at Foy but new it would tough with the water so low and clear. Trotted maggots for a while then headed for the pub.

Tough day. Roved around to try and find the fish. No bites all day but as soon as the sun went down the rod went round. Just over 7lb.

Washed off

Arrived at sunrise and fished for a few hours at the bottom of the stretch. A bit of searching around the swim and 3 chub were netted before it dryed up. Moved to the last peg at the top of the stretch and so began 5 hours of nothing. Another move down river to slightly deeper water and dusk imenent the fish began to wake up. 6 chub mid water and a pike from the edge in just over an hour. Frustrating at times, treacherous banks and constant rain (the wet stuff as well) but always good to be on majestic river Wye.

First time on this short beat,river is still low and clear so not ideal. Unfortunately did not bring float rod which would have been better suited to this beat. Did try free lining bread and meat for chub without success,but another beautiful day on the Wye
