Hi,
Now the season is coming to a close I fancy doing a bit of salmon fly fishing during the close season.
Quick question does the Wye have any decent fly water as I have never fished it.
Or has any bits on the Severn worth giving the fly rod a go for Salmon?????????
Cheers Paul

Re: Wye Stacklands fly water
Hi Punta,
If you use the Search feature on the Home Page and type in Salmon it will bring up forum posts where Salmon has featured in the text.
There have been some good Salmon taken from the Upper Severn, in fact Mike Wood, used to post a very good Upper Severn Report that you should read in the Archives.
I hope this helps.
Keep on Fishing…

Re: Wye Stacklands fly water
Stacklands does have a couple of solid croys that were made just for fly fishing I suppose, on the times I have been down there Salmon do show, but as you are aware they are quite a rarity, but anytime fishing is not a waste, and what better than those surroundings?
Mr Jones the farmer who has his sheep and crops there will tell you his father used to catch Salmon, and there was a a huge one too 35lbs or more.
Severn Stoke also shows up Salmon, not that I ever fish for them which has always bugged me but good luck if you do it.
Martin Bowler has a few posts on the subject of late, and his favourite fly is?
The flying 'C'

Re: Wye Stacklands fly water
I know we don't have waters in this area but a lot of salmon still show and hold up around Atcham. As a point of interest and a bit of a wild card the River Teme often goes through a phase of producing quite a few salmon par, so there must be some fish making their way through . There are good salmon holes on the bends at Eastham and Eardiston. I must confess though we have not seen or heard any of the large fish crashing about as we used to years ago.

Thanks guys.
The Wye and Severn levels have been hideous of late. Gods knows when I will be getting the fly rod out or even the spinning rod

Re: Wye Stacklands fly water
Well eventually I reckon the water will be a good height.
So a trip down to Stacklands tomorrow, hope the gate is unlocked.
