Feedback & Reports

Only managed to fish for an hour or so around midday as river was rising rapidly and becoming very coloured due to heavy rainfall upstream, I presume. Caught 3 wbt returned safely, the largest of which was about 12 inches.

Lost a couple but river low and stained due to recent rain

Nice couple of hours nothing big but good fun on a #2 rod.

A strong north wind made French nymphing difficult for most of the afternoon but weighted nymphs below an indicator was very effective. Trout were easy to find in the mid section at the end of the Leaning Willow and downstream whilst the grayling were elusive everywhere until early evening. The water is horribly warm but there's plenty of aerated water on the beat and all fish went back well.

A nice few hours on this extensive beat, the water is very low so wading to get to swims essential, but tricky !! Several small (6-8") wbt and salmon parr. Surprisingly the only grayling was ,wait for it, lost but it was a big one.
Thanks to W & U and beat owner.

Fished from 9,30 till 1pm, cause a long drive back to London. First time on this beat, and managed to catch several BT, all between 1 and 2 pounds in weight, plus other 10 or so graylings. All fishes taken with long French Leader fishing in the few fast waters left. Despite the lack of water, another great day on the Wye.
