Feedback & Reports

Excellent days fishing catching thirteen WBT, two of which were exceptional. See photos. Used spider's on two droppers with a Gold Head Hares Ear flashback on the point. Eleven were caught on the Hares Ear and two on a Greenwells spider. Lost four more before I could net them and had loads of pulls where they were coming short.

A lovely morning, nicely cloudy and cold when I started at 05.00. Several residents playing in Vanstone and managed to turn 3 fish in upper Vanstone, 2 to the fly and one to a flying C, all before 08.00. Nothing moving further upstream and by 10.30 it was very busy with canoes, all very polite, but I have never connected with a salmon at Goodrich Court once the canoes are out. Left at 12.00 when it became very sunny. River level good, below 0.5 at Ross, water very coloured.

I fished up from Hergest Bridge today. The river was in good condition, good floor and clear when not cow-affected. I caught pretty steadily through the day with one fish of over a pound early on. This was a good day which would have been great but for two very good fish lost late on. Not much bug activity despite nice weather. Some fish on a small olive dry but most on nymphs.
