Feedback & Reports

Three brown trout caught and returned - two below the bridge and one above. All fish weighed 4-5 ounces and in excellent condition. One caught on weighted GRHE and the other two on dry fly Daddy Long Legs imitation. Good hatch of spinners as the sun came out between 1 and 2pm.
Directions and actual access to river very good. It is obvious that a knowledgeable fisherperson had indicated where the access points opposite the cottage should be installed as these lined up nicely with the pools. Shame that the upper section (above bridge) was not fenced on the cottage side as a herd of cows were in the river.
Booking service worked very well - thank you.

Nil. Strong downstream wind made it difficult to cast and control line. Then persistent rain added to the misery so I surrendered late morning and moved on to Hergest,Edw.

Never saw a fish all day.

3 trouts (Small)- nymph

First fine warm day after bitter cold .High expectations,yet virtually no fly hatching and hardly a rise seen all day.Just one trout of about 3/4 lb on klinkhammer.

A pleasant but challenging day. River running fairly high and coloured but fishable. Working hard with deep nymphs all day, managed 2 WBT both around 9ins and 2 Grayling of similar size. A nice beat with very easy wading.

Fished from 6.00am till 12.00 noon - beautiful, tranquil amazing. You must offer some of the best wild fishing in the world.
Started off in the morning the water was around a foot above its normal level and also coloured up a wee bit. I fished nymphs up stream and czech nymph style and managed around seven grayling (small around 6/7 inch mark, fin perfect) great to see lots of young grayling. Also three brown trout, one of which was over a pound, a beautiful fish.
Thank you for a great weekend.

Just to let you know no fish caught on Thursday R.H

Sadly I couldn't choose the day of my visit to the Lyepole beat as I had to fit it around work. The weather was beautiful but unfortunately the river was very high and coloured. Wading was unsafe and the fishing was impossible. Tried everything but a nil return. Still beats work though! A good hatch of olives late on but only I could see them!

The only thing I succeeded in pulling out of the river was a lamb which had become trapped in a muddy bank near the weir. Pleased to say it was reunited with it’s mother. (Can I claim the first lamb to feature in a WUF catch return? I forgot to weigh it!)
The river was as full as I’ve seen it but reasonably clear. Little in the way of hatches. I only saw one fish feeding which I hooked (GRHE) but then lost.
The Wild Garlic was pungent (especially after a heavy hailstorm) and the Bluebells are beginning to show.
