Feedback & Reports

Caught four good grayling between 14 and 17 inches, also one nice 14 inch trout.

All but one were caught on an olive klinkhammer with one one a heavy nymph.

Absolutely loads of trout up to 10 inches, all caught on green or black Klink's fished upstream, better fish caught in the faster water. Felt I could have caught more on the upper half on nymphs but enjoy the dry better. Good sized, fin perfect fish a plenty on the lower half of the beat. Great day, will be back!

17 lbs cock fish glanwye at spread eagle returned fish in vgc but getting autumn colours on!!

Another great day booked through the Foundation, 3 trout rods and 1 salmon.

My first day back on the Wye in a couple of years was rewarded with 8 grayling ranging from 1/2 pound to a pound and a 1/2 pound brown trout taken on selection of nymphs, all returned.

Paul also had a good day with grayling the best of his 5 was about a pound and half, also 5 brown trout to around a pound as well.

Sam's first time out was successful with a nice grayling.

Paul saw one Salmon leap but unfortunately Matt didn't have any luck.

The Devon Duo reached the Wye on Friday & fished from 1p.m. to early evening. The colour of the water (& its weight) disconcerted us at first, but we fished the margins & caught about 30 grayling & 1 trout. With a downstream wind & N.Z. rig it was a bugger to cast.

River was still up 3-4 feet on this day so fishing the top peg (boys rock) wasn't possible sadly as the bank was submerged and dangerous. Roved the whole section fished 5 swims and only had one 8+ Barbel. Couldn't stay until dusk but would like to on another day. Travel light as there are fishable pegs all the way down the beat, but it is a long stretch.

Beautiful day. Soft westerly wind. Sunny in afternoon.
2x Brown Trout approx 3/4 and 1 lb. Caught and released both on a Bloody Butcher. Immaculate condition. Good markings with brown and red spots. Finished at 5pm (its my boys bath night!)

The river very high and going through like a train. Didn't have tackle heavy enough to hold bottom in recommended island swim (a 2 ounce feeder simply floating on the surface such was the pull). Tried the margins but just lost tackle in snags.

Nearly gave up, but found a quieter area at the top of beat 4 and caught 1 8 pound 10 ounce barbel and 2 chub. Very limited swim choice when river up. Must come with appropriate gear next time. Lesson learnt.

Here is my fishing feedback for last week. Thanks for all your help in finding good waters to fish. I had two lovely days fishing.
All the best,

R13 The Edw, Hergest
Rather warm, light cloud with sunny periods. Wind slight.
The Edw was high and slightly coloured but fish were rising, seemingly in response to quite a good hatch of olives. Nineteen browns to c. 11" mostly to upstream nymph (ptn, gold-head) but also the dry (Adams). A lovely beat with more space than I though I'd find on the Edw. I then had a short (c. 1 hr) session on the Edw at Aberdw (Beat R14). This also fished well with five browns (to 10") to the nymph.

Directions spot on weather fine but rain the previous days and worked its way down and the river was like chocolate. Doubt we could have fished at all the previous day. 3 Barbel to 7lb 9oz caught but hard going. All fish to pellet again.
