Feedback & Reports

Our first visit to Sugwas Court but unfortunately a combination of recent heavy rains and the snow melt saw us faced with a river that was very high and tanking through. This made swim selection very difficult so we eventually settled in where we found some slack in the lower part of the beat. The entrance to the top part of the beat by the orchard was impassable being very muddy with several large puddles so we did not attempt it. Neither of us caught but but were kept entertained by the kites above and a poor chap who got his 4x4 stuck in the mud in the opposite field, finally rescued after several attempts by his mate. We thought this was a lovely beat and will try again hopefully when the conditions are a little more favourable.

River brown and rising. Total blank.

Didn't fish, the snow was closing in and it would have been pointless travelling.

The two of us had the whole beat to ourselves on this beautiful Autumnal day and the river was in good flow with good colour. The fishing all happened in the first hour and then went quiet, but it was such a beautiful day it was a joy to be by the river. We both fished swim feeders with maggot and pellets and also trotted maggot as we searched for the fish. I look forward to coming back

First blank on the Wye! Never fished this stretch before so did a lot of walking in the morning. The sky cleared up and temp plummeted in the afternoon so struggled. Did lose one fish, either a barbel that went over something sharp or a Pike (which I think is more likely). Also fell over, got chased by bullocks and impaled myself on a barb wire fence! Not the best day! Stretch looked interesting and varied but hard to relax with the curious cows and bullocks in the field.
