Feedback & Reports

No fish caught but lovely beat and a very enjoyable day. Thanks to Adam for showing me around and certainly putting me in the right place going by catches the following day - that's just fishing! WIll certainly be back here again and will be using WUF booking office - very impressed. Thanks to all involved.

After Rene Alleyne caught his 22lb fish from the Alders Legg meadow yesterday I fished from the far bank on Home and had a 25lb fish much the same place on flying c and then fished up the Legg meadow pool and through the Pumping station pool and had an 18 pounder top end just below Wyelands on the opposite bank and below the metal boat mooring. Fabulous fish.

2 Salmon

12-30pm Old Harp fishery Hoarwithy - salmon 36 ins long, about 19lbs. Spinning with a blue and silver minnow 2 ins. Several fish passing through beat am.

Rene landed a lovely 22lb springer (weighnet) this afternoon from the alder pool, Legg meadow and an 8/9lb kelt from the corner run, Legg meadow

1 Salmon

A successful day. In the morning an 11lb salmon from Crib Hole and in the afternoon a 20lb fish from just above the hut. The latter took forty five minutes to persuade into the net! Both were on a 1.5inch yellow and black tube fly on a sinking tip attached to an intermediate line. A 20lbs Springer on a fly - a deathbed memory.

River in excellent condition, gin clear, ambient temp 9C but very cold wind and very cold water, no hatch, no fish, just a pleasurable few hours.

Blank as far as springers were concerned, but an interesting and pleasant day all the same. 2 x very well mended kelts, both at 34 inches, taken by spinning - if I read the map correctly - Smoke House and Four Oaks pools, plus several hefty trout at the bottom end. Fresh salmon were seen moving in a number of places including at least one twenty. There is a lot to learn about this beat, which hasn't been fished seriously for salmon for a long time. Many thanks to Adam Fisher for inviting me to fish the owner's rod.

Two small class well mended kelts and one good size trout caught spinning, although most of the day I spent with a fly rod. No harm in trying given the fact that water was very good in terms of colour and rocks and woods surrounding Severn Sisters offer very good wind protection. Thank you.

1 Trout, 2 Other

Managed to land a fresh 25lb cock fish from the Vanstone pool, Goodrich yesterday after a 30 minute scrap. Black, yellow and orange homemade 3inch brass tube with a conehead on a fast sinking line. My friend also landed a 12lbs kelt from above the Wires.

Two inexperienced Salmon fisherman refusing to get out the spinning rod! Not the easiest fly water but some lovely runs which will no doubt become more productive if it ever warms up. A real bonus to be able to drive the whole length of this long beat. Beautiful surroundings especially as there were no canoes or coarse fisherman!! Spoke to the owner and another regular on the beat who were very pleasant and helpful. Unfotunately their advice came too late in the day to save a blank. Will be back soon.
