Feedback & Reports

We were prepared for a hot and 'sticky' day. And it was. By the end of the afternoon we were exhausted - but this was more than compensated for by the number of fish we caught. We fished up and downstream, through the deeper pools and the shallower faster runs, and managed to take fish throughout the beat. All fish were taken with small nymph patterns - there were very few fish rising and nothing could be tempted with dry flies. Very small PTNs proved most successful, but we also secured fish using Greenwells Spiders, Snipe and Purple, and tiny wet-pattern winged March Browns. The fish looked in great, clean condition and were all returned - including numerous good-sized Grayling. An unusually productive day - we don't get many of these !!

12 Trout, 18 Grayling

I think i saw a salmon in one of the lower pools but had no success so i swithched to grayling and trout.

A very hot day with beautiful conditions. I began fishing with a nymph rig and caught a fair few fish throughout the day. Towards evening there were many fish rising so I switched to a dry fly and in the space of 10 minuites i caught 2 grayling and 1 trout on a CDC emerger. I reckon if i had been there longer i could have caught another 10 fish but my dad made me leave as he was tired from last night's sea-trout fishing. I will return with many more dry flies.

Just before sundown we stood on the brigd at Builth watching the Wye for 20 minutes and we must have seen a couple of hundred rises. There was no time when there wasn't at least one fish rising. A perfect weekend.

3 Trout, 10 Grayling

Good water conditions but the sun was a bit too mucb for me therefore I left early pm. All fish caught from faster water, some on dry flies, some on nymph. Thank you.
