Hi folks, I would like to pick the brains of those who have personally fished this stretch of the beautiful river Wye. I have booked accommodation close by and have also booked the stretch first week of October, it’s my annual treat and I have tried to book different stretches for each of the...
I use the Harrell but have recently bought the Korum glide, excellent buoyancy and comes off the reel beautifully. I used it recently as a leader fly dry fly fishing for river brownies in Scotland and it was better than anything else I've used and seemed far less prone to wind knots in really...

Hi I bought this brand new from Johnson Ross in August last year.I also bought a spare spool. Lines have been put on both but I’ve just not used the reel. £110 posted.
