Feedback & Reports

Lovely day. An exploratory trip to new water, very satisfactory, if disappointing to hear of the retraction of access to one (major) section of the river. One small brown trout out of season (returned) (maybe 5 inches). Two grayling, 8-12 inches (returned). All on parachute coachman, size 14.

Sunday Holme Lacy : 4 Barbel to 8.6lbs & 15 Chub to 5lb
2 rods 1st time on the Wye. Stunning location, not as easy as we anticipated, a bit of a learning curve this trip. Will be back! All caught on Pellets.

3 x grayling 8 inches - 13 inches; 8 x out of season trout 6 inches - 12 inches, on gold bead nymph. Trout still in very good condition here and dominating the pools. Great fun, but this beat rather needs a trim by some-one.

12 lb salmon, cock, neck of Bridge gutter, 1.00hrs on size 8 cascade.

10+ Grayling upto 2.5lb all caught on small bead head nymphs My best days Grayling fishing so far.

first time ive fished this beat or river for that matter. I caught 9 grayling upto around 1.5 lb and 4 trout one of which was 1.75 lb. Also caught lots of very small grayling (around 15) which looks good for the future. I did however see a cormorant. This is a lovely river and one which I will fish again.

Nice weather, clear water altough on Saturday a bit murky. I fished nymphs wet fly style using fast sinking polyleader(bit weird but I like it). Fish were quite aggresive and takes were firm. I got 4 short grayling and one tiny trout. My friend was more successful and ended up with good number of fish including 5 grayling well over 40cm. He did short nymph better known as czech nymph. Wading is difficult in places - I fell over on Sunday and got wet but carried on fishing;-). The only downside is poor marking of the beat boundaries and parking. It would help if there were signs. But apart from that excellent fishing. Thank you and will be back!

Water very low slightly peaty tinge. Spinning with very small repala's sinking on 10lb line.

07:55 - 12lb male very red returned - caught in run with fallen tree below the bridge pool. Three trout all returned safely largest 3/4 lb. caught at various points on the beat.

3 grayling the largest being just under 2lbs, 2 caught on a klinkhammer and the other on a nymph.

A lovely bit of river which illustrates what a great scheme the WUF is running - much appreciated.

Two very enjoyable days at Pwll-y-faedda and Gromain on the 9th and 10 of October respectively but alas, no fish (although a brown trout did manage to engulf a size 4 Thunder and Lightning - which made the pulse race for a few seconds). It was good to see both beats at lower water and to meet someone who has fished one of them for 16 years. Let's hope there are more fish about next season. Keep up the good work.
