Feedback & Reports

First time I have been back in Herefordshire when there has been enough water to fish. Met at beat by otter who was surprised to see me, dived and never seen again. 8 grayling , a couple around 8", the rest 12" to 14" , caught in fits and starts on a GSB and deers hair emergers along length of beat. Forgot wading stick so a bit limited and not as nimble as I used to be.
One Trout 14" when trying klink and dink. Took the klink and had a grayling on dink at same time which came off as I tried to net them both. Was 'joined' at lunchtime by a couple who announced they had been ages trying to find somewhere that they could access the river for a walk and a picnic. Advice that beat was private land and not public access went straight over their heads and did not stop them staying.
Will be back again end of October with wading stick

1 Trout, 8 Grayling

River low and clear caught most fish on meat

2 Barbel, 7 Chub

Fished from dawn for a few hours, had a good chub (4lb) on the first cast, so was hoping for a bumper day. Unfortunately that was the only fish of the 5hrs.
Nice place to be however so all good.

1 Chub

Fished well early morning, chub and barbel falling to meat and pellets. Dead during the afternoon. Picked up during the evening again.

Good day. There was a reasonable flow of water, and it was cold and clear. Only fished the three pools in the bottom section. Not much rishing. Caught fish on nymphs in morning and early afternoon, before 3 late grayling on a dry fly at about 5pm. Most of the grayling were 12-13", with the biggest about 14". The brown trout was 10".

1 Trout, 9 Grayling

Good day. The grayling were very localised and needed to be found. Most on nymphs in the morning and early afternoon. In the mid-afternoon, there was a rise of fish in the gravel glide at the bottom of the beat, and several nicegrayling were caught on a dry cdc. Good avergage size of about 1lb, with the biggest about 2lbs. River was a good condition. The owner came down to chat with us, which was appreciated.
