Feedback & Reports

First time on the Wye - thoroughly enjoyed it, used fly all day unfortunately no fish caught.

An enjoyable day with conditions to test my technique! A couple of takes but nothing to net. Noticed a deceased Salmon approximately 40" in the margin the fish looked clean.

What a great day, Mick the Ghillie picked the correct fly a 2"" brass tube fly green and yellow. He told me to fish the stones and on the second run down that afternoon I hooked and landed a fresh salmon about 15lbs in mint condition. It gave a great fight and had lots left when Mick lifted it in the net. My biggest Salmon to date. Later in the day I fly fished Vanstone pool and Mick spun the deep part of the end of the pool and hooked a nice fish. It was splashing on the surface and spat the hook out. Looked a very good fish 15lbs to 18lbs. Great day on a good beat. I would have not fished the swim or that big a fly. So thank you Mick see you soon.

1 Salmon

River at 12 inches on the gauge. 10lb hen fish on fly.

1 Salmon, 1 Sea Trout

Only my 2nd time Salmon fishing. Booked Mick the gillie, he showed me all the best places to fish and where to cast, unfortunately there were not many fish in the river and I blanked. But had a great day as this fishery is in stunning surroundings. I would recommend booking Mick as his knowledge of this fishery is outstanding plus he is a great guy with plenty of interesting stories.
I will be back and hopefully catch a Salmon.

No Salmon seen or caught. An enjoyable day nevertheless. What's happened to the 3 for 2 offer on this beat?

River slightly high but clearing well, booked Mick for the morning and as ever I strongly recommend him to anyone new to the beat or indeed salmon fishing.Unfortunately my salmon fly rod snapped due to poor technique combined with a sink tip and heavy tube fly and both of us used spinning for the rest of the day using flying c's and Micks set-up on devon minnows. I think we deserved a fish but that's salmon fishing! Will be back to this well maintained beat. Thanks Mick.

No fish today. Great day out though. Saw a kingfisher and the sand-martins building their nests by the car park.

One on for an electrifying few seconds at the Windmill Pool and then casting practice. Only saw one other fish move. Great day out though. 28 swans in the next field as I was leaving.

I booked this beat for my 14 year old son to try his hand at Salmon fishing but unfortunately the beat was unfishable due to the water level. Mick the ghillie met us and gave us a tour of the beat and gave my son some spey casting tips. We can't wait to return when the water levels are sensible. I would urge anyone fishing this beautiful beat to book Mick as he is a lovely chap and is extremely knowledgeable. He's also done an excellent job on maintaining the banks. We'll definitley be booking him when we come back during more sensible weather conditions.
