Feedback & Reports

River very low, and according to a dog walker a little further on from the end of the beat, the river is completely dry. No Grayling caught or seen, but 8 WBT to hand and lost as many at the take. The fishing is extreme to say the least, for once again it is in need of some serious attention, trees across the river etc. blocking progress! so had to clamber out only to hole my waders on the fence, back to my vehicle to effect a repair which worked, the stretch which is shown on the map as a straight is alongside a golf course, and the owners have cut down and pollardised trees which the debris is now in the river, so nymphing becomes impossible. Never mind the whinge had a lovely day all the same, and 8 fish all though out of season was still not bad. As for waders I use Bison waders, also the boots, and find them fantastic at the price, and more expensive models still don't like barbed wire. Waders from fishing mad. com and they don't leak.

4 small chub on meat, no indication of barbel - pleasent day.

Windy day, sun shine and showers - fished middle of beat from first wooded area upstream to weir. Caught 18 fingerling Grayling largest 5" and 4 OS WBT. Klink hammer and PTN (size 18) on dropper. At one point cattle had entered the river for at least 300 mtrs ruining any chance of fishing; the lack of fencing to keep the animals out will have a longer term impact on this section of the river

Unfortunately we didn't manage any of the grayling, but did manage 3 out of season brown trout all around the 1lb to 1 1/2lb mark and dropped many, many more. All the fish were safely returned. Fishing small heavy bugs, a heavy weight ptn working well. Thank you for a trouble free and enjoyable day. We will be back soon.

Fished at bottom of beat on advice fron Rudi, also met Don the owner, both very helpfull.
River runs very fast & really had to step up the weight of my feeder to hold bottom. Problem with weed as ever which meant casting every few minutes. Finished up with 5 barbel & lost 2 in the same snag, probably rocks. Great day on the Wye as ever, many thanks to WUF.

Started by the old railway bridge,very low and clear, also quite snaggy. Had 1 barbel to pellet in 3 hours before moving downstream below Carey brook. This move prompted better sport just past the shallows and added 1 more barbel and 7 chub - all caught on pellet. Bit more rain needed for near perfect conditions.

Started above old railway bridge, very snaggy and low. Moved after couple of hours to swim 2 fields down below Carey brook. Finished the day in a frenzy with 9 barbel between 5 and 8lbs and 7 chub to 4lbs. All fish caught on pellet.

2 small grayling - lost 1 better fish.

8 WBT 8" to 10" - No grayling.

Blank, 1 rise. Not much water, good day pretty beat.
