Feedback & Reports

The river was high and the water colder than expected when I arrived and the height increased by nearly half a metre during the afternoon. I settled into the only really fishable swim and had three half-hearted bites in the session, giving me a solitary chub. Unsurprisingly, the barbel did not show up.

Tough day with conditions

A cold downstream wind for most of the day. A very sparse hatch of LDOs that didn't last but fish did target them and we had some sport on the dries. Spiders also accounted for some fish. Best fish was around 2lbs, most others in the 8-12 inches bracket. Great to be back on the water!

A complete blank between two Anglers in reasonable conditions, very disappointing. I believe the River is suffering badly due to the well documented pollution issues. Please note that entry through the gate into the field is no longer possible due to very deep Troughs, presumably caused by Farm vehicles and so parking is only available for 2 Vehicles. Until this is rectified the Foundation should inform Anglers of the situation. I recommend the Foundation pay a visit to see for themselves

First day of the season! 8C max temp. Hard to tell when the mist ended and the drizzle began. No wind. River a little high and fast but running clear. A couple of hours speculating with a PTN but action started around 13:00 and lasted for an hour. Olives and tiny white beasties (not sure correct name) hatching in the slower water of Llanoberry Pool. Fish rising all over the place! Three to the net on size 18 Grey Duster; dropped a few more and missed several takes. Need a couple more trips to get my eye in. All fish in excellent condition for so early in the season.

2nd session at Foy Bridge this week. Steady rain so settled under the brolly for the day. Worth mentioning that I was in last swim on Hole-in-the-wall bank. Steps down to river we’re just cut outs in banking and were VERY slippery so take care!
Started at 7:30am. Plenty of knocks and soon had First Chub on the bank just under 3lbs on Krill Boilie.
Nothing more on various baits. Then tried Mothers Pride. PB Chub 5lbs 11oz. One more small one to finish my first trip to the Wye

Did not fish for long but fished the rectory pool it looked good but nothing seen or touched. I wonder how often that will be said this season

I only fished the gravel catch had a trout [returned] and a possible follow, but all was quiet
