Feedback & Reports

Nothing caught but a few fish seen. 4 different fish started leaping at dusk when an otter showed up. Small, perhaps a cub or maybe a mink. Have they been seen there before? Lovely fly water, would book again.

Just a short 4 hour session at Abernant and my first ever visit to the Upper Wye. Breathtaking scenery and a beautiful stretch of fly water.
Fished the fly through Lady Alexander's Catch. A nice plump Brownie of around 1lb was quickly followed by a 30" salmon - a good 9lb plus. Cock fish, not particularly fresh but returned safely. Fell to a tiny cascade tube - my biggest on fly.
Thanks once again to the Booking Office for their excellent service, information and beat maps.

No salmon seen, although water looked promising. Abernant Catch fishes well with the fly but only one trout to show for my efforts.

No salmon even seen running, disappointing. A few trout and a shad caught.

Evening conditions looked good at 1'5", but did not see or contact any salmon. One shad (2lbs) and several small-ish brownies caught during decent evening rise, with varied hatch/spinners/sedges. The only bigger brownies appeared just before dark.

River very coloured after overnight rain. Unable to fish.
It should be noted that the footpath to the top of the beat is impassible due to fallen trees.

WUF note: We are investigating the fallen trees and hope to have them cleared in the near future.

No fish caught, touched or even seen. Sat on the bank for about an hour waiting for the thunder storm to pass. A good little beat none the less.

River at 1'6", gin clear. One fish showed in the Stone Catch and one heavy but very brief contact in the Lady Pool is all I've got to report. Thank you.

Only one of us fished for salmon with no luck. River still high, top of beat too high and fast to wade. I fished for trout with 6 up to a pound.

Awesome, easy fishable run of fly water, it felt fishy all afternoon with 2'3" on the gauge and slight colour with 2-3' visibility. Classic conditions.
We started fishing at 3pm and by 6pm I had a 31" (11lb) fresh hen, bright silver - safely returned to carry on her journey.
Fishing moving through after this point but no more takers. Get out fishing this weekend for sure! Water is perfect.
