Feedback & Reports

Fished greenwells, damsel nymphs, and black gnats on this beautiful stretch of the Wye. Saw one trout rise early on, and a couple of grayling splashing, all in the Lady Alexandra pool. Unfortunately it was not my day, but I’ll be back.

High risk strategy: taking my seven year old daughter to fish on the Wye with me..... We decided trout and grayling would be our targets and once we started to strike at the movement of the indicator fly more aggressively, we started to consistently connect with fish. Best around 12"+ so big enough to be hugely exciting for Sienna.... "the best day ever" was her considered verdict after six hours on the river!!
All fish were taken(and returned) in Lady Alexandra's in about three feet of water on a tiny gold head on the point. A few splashy rises at the dry, but nothing connected. First time back at Abernant for some years so a real joy. A pair of kid's waders is the price for such a success.... we will return for more

I thought this might be a good day when the second cast landed a lively Trout. All caught in Lady Alexanders catch some on dry fly some on nymph. Lovely conditions.

No fish caught.

River very low, mainly small grayling and a few small trout. Relatively short beat especially as there was 3 of us.
