Feedback & Reports

Water surprisingly clear and at a good level. Tried nymphing with French Leader, shortlineheavy nymphs and then longer leader with spiders and heavy jig hook nymphs. Hard work in cold conditions @4° most of the day. Two grayling both 12" to caddis pattern.

A couple of salmon anglers who were guests of the landowner were leaving as we arrived in the rain. The river was coloured and rose steadily throughout the day. We persevered with heavy nymphs for a while but no fish were caught.

Had some really good grayling upto 17 imches on caddis and cdc dries 16 fish including six browns .mixed cloud and sun..

All caught on nymphs, biggest trout was about 1lb 4oz, lost 2 more and one of those was a lot bigger. Nice beat.

I visited here with my fishing friends. We couldn't make it, no fish seen and nil returned. However we really enjoyed, beautiful river, easy access, well maintained beat.

A beautiful beat with easy access via two heavy weight gates. Parked 200 yards round the corner as parking area seemed to be in front of the gate. Fished half way up the beat with jig hook nymphs. Access to this part of the beat is difficult. Took great care in getting down the waters edge as this part of the beat is very deep. But it was worth it as picked up two Grayling on being my best to date. I would think is was over two pounds. Took great care with both fish by keeping them in the water and both went back strongly. Have found my second best beat on the Wye.

First visit to this beat and what a beautiful one at that. Parked around the corner and not near the gate entrance. Easy walk down to the first pool but difficult to get down to the water. Decided to place rod on walkway and get down which made things easier. Knew there would be fish there and hooked in to a very nice Grayling of about a pound. Again swing my jig hook nymphs down and hit into an other monster Grayling. Did my best to get it landed quickly as it gave me a hard fight. Kept in the landing net just long enough to snap a few for the record. Swam away strongly leaving me happy as Boris. Took pictures from both sides.
