Feedback & Reports

Excellent days guiding with Frank Williams. Learned a tremendous amount, and had the best day of the summer so far - really beautiful.

1 brown trout, 2 grayling caught on nymph. All around 8", none taken. Several salmon parr, all returned.

Despite bright sunshine and a clear river, we all had a very enjoyable day. William, aged 15 years caught his first barbel 7lbs 3oz on only his second cast of the day and then one 7lbs 10ozs shortly afterwards.

Total catch for the day was 5 barbel and 4 chub to 4lbs 8oz.
The only disappointment was the amount of litter and discarded line left in one or two swims which we duly collected.

To whom it may concern next time take your own litter home, we don't want to risk losing the fishing on this beautiful stretch of the Wye.

Absolutely nothing, didn't see a fish rise all day!

A trout, slightly larger than my spinner.

A beautiful stretch of river and, for my money, your best fly water, but untroubled by the presence of Salmon.

A good days fishing with the river back to normal levels,7 barbel to 7lb 13oz and plenty of chub. No one else on the fishery.

No fish seen or caught. Some fly life. Had to finish at 6.00pm so could not fish the evening. Water low but still some good fishable stretches.

Another top days barbel fishing! 11 fish, 4 doubles biggest to 11 3/4. Only angler on the water. Try unused swims, you will need to cut your way through bankside vegetation but well worth it!!!!

Very pleasant day with 5 barbel between 3lbs and 8lbs 2oz all caught between 11.00 and 16.00hrs in bright sunshine.

Very nice beat, wading not too bad (although deep and rocky). The water was gin clear and at a nice height. No salmon seen (lots of trout spotted). Shall be back.

Just thought I'd give you a quick report on Cefnyllysgwynne, which I fished yesterday. Had a lovely day, caught 10 grayling to 1lb 6oz, and 6 brownies. Most of the brownies were small, but as the light faded I caught a beauty on the last cast. Just under 16" long, not sure why he took the fly as he spat out a fresh 5" brown during the fight (so correction - 7 brownies!). Cracking fish in a beautiful location - thanks very much. Have been dreaming of a day like this for weeks during all that rain, somehow it actually happened!
