Feedback & Reports

No fish caught. The river was just a foot or two too high. I saw a number of salmon moving especially on the bend in the lower beats. Because of my spinal injuries/operations it was too difficult to get down to the river on the left bank where I fished and too far to walk on the right bank where vehicle access is not allowed. I did meet the bailiff who gave me some advice which was much appreciated.
I have and will continue to fish the Wye and Usk Foundation waters when I can. I do appreciate the amount of effort put in over what must be 10 years by the Foundation. Thank Seth for his advice as I called him before I started fishing.

1 barbel on meat 9lb plus. Hard days fishing and finding the fish in the fast flow.

20th June 3 fresh salmon 11,12,12lbs. 13th June 1 fresh salmon 8lbs. Also caught 20-25 shad!

Great fishing, 6 WBT caught, all fish were in between 6 to 11 inchs long. All fish were in great condition and all returned. looking forward to fishing it again next weekend. :)

The final day of our trip to the Wye, one of our party having gone home. The river had dropped to 3 foot above normal summer levels and fell a little more while we were fishing. We opted to fish the deeper slower water in Leggs Meadow and managed 13 barbel between us on a mixture of pellets, boilies and paste. As usual on this excellent fishery the fish were of a good average size, best being 9lb 1oz backed up by several 8's and 7's.

x2 barbel to 7.5lbs caught.

One 12" brown trout on small Parachute Adams. Lost two decent graying on same. Day quite warm and river low despite this "summer" we're having.

11 trout, 9 on dry olive, 2 on copper john nymph. River high but no rain during day and level dropped 2in during the day. Reasonably clear. fish rising consistently from midday to 4pm then fell off as a low came in.

No fish-- river risng again and a wee bit too high for safe wading , did a bit of downstream wet fly. Banks along side river, on house side, very narrow , naturally very muddy but undercut in few places so wading stick went straight through!!
I parked down at the designated lay by and then went through the gate by lay by to river. This was my mistake as instructions do say entrance to water is via the two gates either side of the house. However there was a chap salmon fishing already on the stretch I initially walked down to, so I returned to the road again and went to water through the proper gates. However on my return down the road to my car I was stopped by a chap who accused me of poaching in his salmon beat. We eventually sorted out I hadnt but it was an unfortunate incident. I was at fault by going through the wrong gate, however the salmon beat owner says this is the 5th time he has had WUF folk on his beat.I can only suggest the beat map/directions highlights that the lay by gate is not to be used?

Again the river was very high and really pushing through,very few swims were fishable. Managed a few chub and a couple of barbel in about 5 hours fishing, one was a cracker of a fish just over 9lb all on pellet feeder.Would like to try this again on the float as i think it would fish best that way, obviously when levels return to normal!!
