Feedback & Reports

Couple of hours late afternoon with Tenkara rod - fished only from the bridge to the weir. No sight nor sound of anything.Came across a dead pike in the shallows. Not a monster - but unexpected in the Arrow.The fallen big willow which was blocking the river just up from the bridge has been completely cleared.

Arrived at about 4pm for an evening session with my daughter for her first river Wye trip, nice beat and looked in good nick. Couldn't get two of us on the preferred faster water in a peg so settled on a wide peg opposite the big houses with the annoying dog. Fished 3 hrs with only one bite which powered off down river and somehow shed the hook. Disappointing for me and gracie but would make an earlier start the next day in hope of catching a few. Plenty to go at here so will return.

Pretty stretch of river & a fair amount of fence climbing & nettle bashing with my wading stick to access some stretches; I think I needed a little more stealth on the day. Spent a lot of time standing in the water changing flies/leaders trying to find the magic pattern to attract the bigger trout. A lot of tiny ??dace & salmon parr taking the smaller offerings. Did manage one decent trout in the end. Had the company of a herd of very sociable bullocks on & off throughout the day. Wonderful day thank you.

2 Trout, 3 Other

Methods used... sliding ledger & Bubble float with worm.
Every effort was made by myself & my fellow angler to remove our litter from the site, but there weren't any waste bins near by or in the plcnic area.

A very pleasant day was had on this quiet stretch of the River Lugg. The water was quite low, only finding any depth in the bends. No sign of any Trout but caught 4 very nice Grayling to about 1.5lbs and numerous 3-4inch tiddlers on a size 16 tungsten head pink PTN. Lots of fry shoaling in the shallows keeping the Kingfisher busy.

4 Grayling

Tipped with rain all day. Barbel first and second cast, then slowed down till after lunch. Finished with six barbel.
River pulling hard, banks slippery.

Lovely well managed beat, with some excellent salmon pools
water perfect height & colour. had an enjoyable days fishing. No salmon seen.

Weather dry and sunny. One fish caught weight pound and a half

Conditions deteriorated throughout the day with the river rising and colouring up. No salmon seen which is a first for me on this beat - no doubt keeping their heads down. Fished the fly mostly and finished with a FC for the last half hour. Four decent trout up to a pound was the sum total but a thoroughly enjoyable time was had all the same. Didn't see a soul all day.
