Feedback & Reports

After many years of fishing I decided to introduce my wife to the joys of angling! Not the weather we had hoped for but that's the first rule of fishing! After a quick casting lesson on the bank Mrs E was soon throwing a decent line out and contacting the odd fish. Only a couple of little ones landed but we had a fun day and plenty of stories to share over dinner in Hay-on-Wye that evening.

A late start at 2pm, great conditions but obviously the water was low. Managed to winkle out four small trout and two grayling using spider patterns. As ever, this is a lovely place to spend time.

Took a friend to fly fish for the very first time. He landed a feisty little brownie with his first cast, managed another 5 during the day and is now hooked! All fish taken on nymphs with just the one falling to a dry. Fish of the day was a fin perfect grayling of around 15 inches. Perfect beat to bring a beginner, easy access, simple wading, a good head of fish and a lovely river bank just to to sit, enjoy lunch and marvel at the Wye.
