Feedback & Reports

No fish caught between the 3 us.
A very pleasant day was had by all,the weather was warm & sunny, not necessarily good for fishing.
One of us had a fish'on' for a minute but it then decided it didn't like the taste of the fly so then spat it out.
The Wye valley is a beautiful valley, the river was maybe a bit low,but it was worth it.
I live a two hour drive away ( N,Devon )close enough for a day trip so hopefully I'll be back soon.
Finally the foundations service/website is second to none regarding the service information.

Thankyou,

Neil Willison

Beautiful day but sun was bit too bright I think. Fished the first fast run as I knew sun would shining right down if I left it till the end of the day. Tried some nymphs below a klink, got a snatch on the Klink, so I switched to dries, no takers unfortunately.

Walked down to the bottom section by the big house, some fishing risng in the slow section, got one decent fish 12" on an Adams, another two small ones 6inch?

Got another five small fish on dries during the day but fish rising. Clouds of those litle brown jobs hatching all day, Grannom? March brown? Perhaps the fish had stuffed themselves the day before?

Lovely weather, disappointing fishing. Lovely pint of Wye Valley India Pale ale at the Bell

Grannom in clouds kept up most of day. Lots of small fish and 1 large grayling all on floating grey duster. Hooked several more solid fish but all got off. There were just a few larger sedges hatching later. River is now getting low.

10 trout around 3/4 lb, 2 grayling around 3/4 lb, several salmon par. All caught on dry klinkhammers or f flies most in the afternoon.

At times couldnt see for the numbers of grannom in the air, I have never seen anything like this before.

Nil catch. No fish seen. Clear blue sky, hot sunny weather. Gauge on beat at 4".

Very low water (around 0.6 on the Brecon guage). Plenty of fish seen nymphing in bottom of deep pools. Managed one beauty of around 2.5lb (safely returned). Pricked/lost three or four other good fish all on a size 18 wieghed tungsten nymph. Very limited LDO hatch which I think was due to the very low water as I have seen excellent LDO hatches on this beat at this time of year.

Anyway a fantastic day from the point of view of wildlife and river beauty!

No fish caught but enjoyed the river.

6 x Brown Trout 6" to 12"

VC - 6, GB - 3. Fish 1-2lbs All taken on dries, Klinks and CDC shuttlecocks. One fish of 3lb plus lost. A steady hatch of Grannom during the day grew to the snowstorm proportion around 6 pm when the wind fell away and it got noticably warmer. Sadly GB had just packed up when that occurred! Given the amount of Grannom hatching the numbers of fish rising were fairly small.

Nice beat with easy reach of The Crown. Water was very low and clear with no fishing showing but managed to take 1 x 12" and 1 x 10" brown on a size 14 LDO. Also had a few on upstream PTN nymph.
