Feedback & Reports

This beat has always produced some of the best fishing I’ve ever had on the wye , but today was a different story. The Wye , Severn and Teme are surprisingly low for this time of year , which always brings a challenge .
Very hot today but kept at it , lots of bites on the feeder rod but only a few good takes , which one of I lost . This stretch is fantastic for trotting and has given me many great days on the float here . Only managed two nice chub on the float but a valiant scrap form both . Barbel came at dusk , a long wait for the whiskers , but happy to have one in the net .
Although not a blank a very challenging day indeed , still love this place , always a pleasure being here .

We struggled all day on our favourite stretch. River was low but we fished the faster water in the near side gully. Not so much as a knock all day until, literally, last knocking when one barbel was caught as I was about to pull the rod out for the day. My good mate had a disaster with his rod by snapping off the top six inches which put him out of action for half the day. We will be back to try again in a couple of weeks.

Lots of salmon parr falling to small nymphs. Best of the fish were the grayling, again caught on weighted nymphs. A good day on a great beat.

River low but overhead conditions perfect. Few fish rising through the day and all taken on the dry. Nothing big.

Unfortunately our day was cut short as one of our party slipped into the river and hit his head on the rocks and it was necessary for us to take him to hospital
