Feedback & Reports

Stayed at The Croft B & B at Lyonshall which was excellent.
Unfortunately the river was in spate and had to use rover tickets to fish the upper wye and Irfon.

One rod 4 WBT to threequarter pound. Second rod blank. All fish returned.

Casting difficult along much of the beat and water too high to wade aceross to try from opposite bank. some clearance would enhance the experience on what is a very attractive venue.

Weather was, I think, a bit too cold for much action.

After 40 + plus years a welcome return to the Usk

Headed up to the Irfon after being booked to fish at Abernant, considered the Wye unfishable. Very nice beat, well worth the walk. Two 12" brown trout and one 14" out of season grayling caught. Many thanks to Gareth Lewis for sound advice.

No fish seen. Small hatch around lunchtime.

A cool, breezy, over cast day with some short periods of sun. We fished for a couple of hours in the mid/late afternoon. Saw some caddis hatching but not much else. A couple of fish moved and we had one good pull but didn't manage to make it stick.

15 good trout between 2 rods, most around 12 inches with a couple a bit bigger. River was just about wadeable in the glides following very wet weather, but the water had cleared well so fishing was possible but not easy. It helped being left handed ! good sporadic hatches of LDOs beween 11 am and 4pm which meant a good number were caught on the dry. Many thanks to Alison in the booking office for being so helpful. We though the river was borderline fishable but ended up having a great day on a lovely beat.

we didn't fish due wash out

Thanks Simon for your help and advice, he suggested a wash off and he was right.

Two fish caught both on a Silver Invicta - one just over a pound one just under.

None caught. River quite high but just fishable.
