Feedback & Reports

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!!

Correction to the hawk quartering the opposite bank on Weds 20th June; not a Peregrine catching insects, a Hobby. So, so wrong then...

The river was dropping after deluge previous week and water colour was good. Bright sun and little cloud did not bode well and so it proved. Sport was restricted to small brown trout & odd coarse fish, on fly/spinner, generally sections 3 to 5. Nothing could tempt the bigger fish evident from the occasional big rise to surface food(?). A salmon was seen going up river at end of section 5 under trees on opposite bank. Frank caught some nice Shad on spinner, one about 2lb, all returned to river safely. Our thanks to Ian who was very helpful on our first visit to the Wye - we shall return.

Nothing seen or caught.

Two salmon caught, 10lb in Bachawy and 14lb in Bathing Pool. Both on intermediate sink tip and size 4 Cascade. 10lb-er was slightly coloured, 14 lb-er was silver.
A lovely beat, strongly recommended to anyone seeking quality fishing and not wanting to drive to Scotland. WUF service excellent, as usual.

5 hour morning session, 16lbs slightly coloured cock fish from Stone Catch, first ever salmon. Glory halved as it came to a spinner but no choice in this pool with high-ish water. Some fish showing in Edw pool. Thank you WUF.

A difficult day with water running high. Very few fish rising and hardly a hatch all day. Various takes missed by all and unable to pinpoint what exactly was the right fly. A beautiful beat that looks like it would fish its head off under the right conditions. Three WBT were caught and returned. A big thank you to the foundation.

Excellent water conditions, bit bright. No fish caught today.

5 small brownies caught between us, all on small grey coloured dries. Quite a decent hatch of small olives, but no fish rising to them. A damp evening with increasingly heavy rain.

Fished afternoon & early evening (till rain arrived)on bottom half of lower beat. Good looking water, plenty of it & clear, but nothing caught & very little fly life or surface activity. Wading not easy on this section.
