Feedback & Reports

Arrived at the beat at midday to find water a bit coloured but level & flow good. Whilst tackling up I noticed that across from the car park, fish were regularly rising so took that as a good sign to fish dry and tied on trusty Adams. The rest of the day saw fish rising steadily to a variety of flies with fish taken from several ideal dry fly stretches. One run in particular delivered several fish, one after the other. I felt rather like Skues's Mr Castwell who ended up in heaven and was condemned by St Peter to fish for ever the same spot whilst fish were still rising there.
Great day, lovely spot, 15 trout to a good pound and a quarter......pretty much like heaven I imagine!

The river conditions looked perfect but we Struggled to find fish with only 3 barbel caught between 6lb to 7lb 4oz, all were caught on pellet. This stretch of the Wye is in a nice setting but is snaggy & as for the walk we would say it is 1/2 mile to the river bank then another 1/2 mile to any descent barbel swims so travel light!!!
PS - Hopefully the WUF can do something better for the access to this nice stretch of water?

Fished from 9am-2pm. Caught two chub and one roach between two anglers. We had been in the area for three days and found the fishing harder than usual. We stayed at Tresseck campsite in Hoarwithy and found it to be very well run and good value.

3 barbel, 9lb, 7lb and 6lb caught on halibut pellets. A very nice place to spend the day fishing, thank you.

10 x trout 6-11 inches, 1 x grayling 10 inches. Virtually nothing rising, although some modest trout were prepared to come up to play when invited, mainly with an Orange Otter. Not so the grayling this morning: just one small one taken with a nymph on the bottom.

Water deep and fast flowing, nil catch

24 Barbel, 5 Chub, 3 Roach & 3 Eels on pellets and meat. Most of the fish from one swim.

Early start to find height perfect but a bit of unexpected colour clearing through the day. Fellow rod Steve took a fish later which showed my timing or competence was the issue - probably the latter !

1 Barbel and 1 chub.

None caught, had few takes on dry but missed them. River was full and slightly discoloured.
