Feedback & Reports

River very high. Just one smash take while fishing wet flies to report. Incidentally, both access gates need rehanging, particularly the second one with the padlock. The hinge post has gone rotten, with the result that when you open the gate, it's liable to fall flat in the roadway.

Caught 7 wbt and lost as many, had long sleeves but got eaten alive through clothing by mosquitoes, now in A&E waiting to be seen after allergic reaction,still 7 trout , awesome.

Caught 15 chub over 3lb and one barbel over 10lb passed the island. Fishing was hard due to the high water level ,but persevered.

1 Barbel, 15 Chub

Could not get a bite on pellets changed to meat that did the job. Good to be back on the Wye thanks WUF.

5 Barbel, 2 Chub

Very pleased to see the water level had dropped from 3.18m at Ross on Friday, gauge level there was about 1.8m dropping to 1.65m during the course of the day. I fished the wooded section and the lower swims, using a roving style, and travelling light. First 3 casts resulted in 3 Barbel at the bottom of the first lower field, then things dried up, so off to another swim!
The wooded section was quite treacherous, but still managed to catch - fishing the creases on two of the first swims entering the wood. The lucky stone area was far too fast, and knowing that area is snaggy, I avoided it.
All fish were caught on pellet and feeder tactics - 5oz held bottom - generally.
Thank you again to WUF for the ongoing work and access they provide.

River running high but clear. No salmon caught - couple of accidental trout. Saw one silver salmon moving through.
The farmer directed us to park in a cattle-proof enclosure by the river, instead of by the gate as indicated on the beat instructions. He said there had been problems with cattle/cars but the message to park in the enclosure wasn't getting through. Could WUF change instructions on beat sheet?

WUF Note : Please note that the parking and access instructions for Greenbank have been updated.

River level continuing to fall follow recent heavy rain, fished for two short sessions, all chub 3-4.5 lbs.

3 Chub

Following a mid morning start fished steady throughout the day, all chub to meat all between 3-4.5lbs

Cold and wet day--very little surface activity. A silver march brown fished deep the most successful fly but small black also worked. As usual at Bugeilyn quite a few fish missed.
