Feedback & Reports

River was flowing but definitely not as fast as I was expecting after all the storms pre Christmas. Ended up fishing at the wrong pools for Grayling all day but only realised after bumping into a local as I was packing up for the day, but will be back to try again for sure!

Frustrating day, could not buy a bite! Tried 3 swims, different baits / margins / methods. That’s fishing!

1 Chub

Another day with possible blank written on it,river low clear and cold cloudless blue skies all day lovely day to be sat in the countryside just not very good catching conditions! Absolutely nothing all day then saved a blank at the death all fish coming on consecutive casts to feeder fished “bits”.

1 Barbel, 5 Chub

Bright conditions. One bite one fish. Bomb with groundbait and banded elispe pellet on the hook.

1 Chub

Only small fish evident today. Nymphs/grubs and one surprise taker to a dry klink on the dropper.

Good barbel and chub catches have been reported from the Rectory on the upper Wye this December in the relatively stable river conditions, including a 14lb barbel and several at 12lb.

Fantastic beat with some lovely deep pools, very accessible, only fished a few hours and couldn’t find the grayling!

A beautiful day on Dolgau. Very quiet morning fishing Bridge and Glanrhos pools, but albeit what seemed like perfect grayling conditions there were no bites. I broke for lunch and decided to try below the bridge and straight into a nice Grayling, then another. Moved down to Oak pool with nothing so back up to the Bridge pool and another 2 Grayling. Taking on Sawyers Killer Bug and Duracell Copper Top. Clear water so 4X and 5X tippet was the battle winner.
Wonderful place to be.
