Was nice to be going solo on an old favourite today ... Fished the mid section up, only three hours, oh and had a quick mooch up Oakfield too ....
Eight to the net in total... Wow, she's in need of a good bit of water in fairness ...
Fish the usual stamp here, with a couple of pukka strong small stream fish !!! Pocket water stuff, with stealthy tactics, presenting the dry fly with that added stiff breeze !!! All part of the fun hey .....
Low water , but in fairness still nice and clear.... needs a good freshening up tbh !!!
Nice to see the kingfisher up and down, and i must say,in the approach field, theres a superb herd of beef cattle, with a lump of a bull in there too !!!
Anyway, even with the Ithon low, with super stealthy tactics, snaffling out a few brownies on dries is still doable !!!! Great stuff .....
Right, thats me catching up with a couple of anglers in The Crown tonight. They've been in the Cwm Elan, with a "mountain llyn" excursion tommorrow.... So, piscatorial chat over a couple of scoops it'll be then!!! Doesn't get much better than that !! Cheers folks .........

This is 1 of my favourite day ticket stretches of the Wye, fabulous fishing on such a beautiful river. Talking to the fishery manager he was telling me about the work they have been doing to the swims and it shows, they have done a great job. It’s great to see the Wye getting back to being one of the best barbel rivers in the county.

Can’t wait to get back to the Foy bridge stretch asap. Thanks for a great day fishing

Didn't really start fishing till 12, had a few fish on the off then it went dead, few swim moves before finding a few fish again.. finished with 12 chub for the day average 3-4 lb

Not much happening. Very few fish rising and they were mostly toddlers.. I did see one big trout in an inaccessible spot. The “trout” in the bridge pool turned out to be a chub! When the water is low like it is now, I’d advise minimal wading. I was using a small deer hair caddis but a nymph might have worked better.

Arrived and set up near lower parking area only to be visited by a huge bull who wanted a drink from my swim (no signage that he was present)! After chasing him away to give me room to reload the car and move to top end above pumping station. Fishing slow and had 1 small chub plus 6 eels on meat.
