Feedback & Reports

First time on the foundation waters, a great days sport. Two fish on nymphs and two on emergers. Entry to the beat as per the map a bit of a jungle, but easy access via the public footpath on the other side of the river. Excellent hospitality and food in the Cammarch!

Lots of small fish caught trotting maggots by both of us. River low and a lot of canoe traffic. Disappointing results with feeder/ledger. Lots of baits tried. Large Chub/Barbel did not show for us today, but as ever it is a pleasure to be on the banks of the Wye again.

With the conditions as they are we did not expect to much, however by 10a.m. all anglers had caught some fish. The bites did then dry up and hope was set on picking up a few Barbel at dusk, but alas it wasn't to be.
This was the first time on this beat and I have to say we were all very impressed with its beauty and obvious potential on the right day.

Water was very low, lots of cloud. Fished a dry fly all day and missed more fish than I caught. Biggest grayling was 15 inch all the way down to a little salmon par. Beautiful beat, beautiful river.

The river was running low and very clear making fishing difficult. That said the morning produced 8 fish with the first a Barbel of 7 1/2lb from Bait pool it took a pellet bait with feeder. The next 7 fish came from the area of the orchard. I waded out to a gravel bank near there and set up. I fished the far side into a pool under a group of trees. I started initially using a pellet and feeder and took a small Chub of a couple of ounces. I then waited an hour before the next fish which was a 5lb Barbel, the fish then came fast with 3 more Barbel the largest being 7 1/2lb. Two more Chub were caught of 3 1/2lb size. These all went for a Boilie with crushed boilie and pellet in a feeder. I had to wade out to deeper water to land the fish as it was difficult to get a landing net under the fish due to the river level being that low. At 12pm we moved down towards the Mill pool part of the beat and another Barbel of 5lb was landed between the Orchard and Mill pool on pellet and feeder. The last Chub of the day came just before last light to a boilie.
A difficult but great days fishing in amazing countryside. All fish were in excellent condition.
