Arrived and the water was low and as expected but plenty of fish rising which was good to see..
I didn’t take long before the first of 7 were landed all around 6 - 8 inches and all in good upper wye condition, all landed on duo style with hairs ear nymph.

Lovely beat with easy access, well maintained Fishery by Shaun. Learned a lot from Shaun's fishing tactics, really appreciated for his time yesterday.

Now that is a day I call hard work! 3 of us fishing from noon to 7pm and 1 trout caught at 18.55!! (About 1/2lb)
But can you really call fishing "hard work"? Not really - fantastic location and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

We fished all tactics, nymph, wet, dry and combos. Started to see some rises about 6pm but they were very shy - several rising to a fly and not taking. It was a very bright and hot day. I was pleased to see a good flow of water despite the relatively dry conditions over the past few weeks.

Only 1 rod of 2 fished for a couple of hrs, 2x wbt, 2x grayling all from grayling steel blue. Beat as stunning as usual, a nice chat with owner.

Another new beat for me making use of the WUF's excellent waters. A lovely sunny day, on an excellent and varied river. Caught a small wild brown nearer the top of the beat, drifting a iron blue parachute across a slower moving section. Later in the day, caught three excellent sized Grayling all on the dry near to the bottom of the beat right outside the hut. A wonderful day in beautiful surroundings. Can't wait to return.

River in reasonable order. Caught the fish on a GRQ, Black Pennell and Greenwell's Glory and dry sedges towards the end of the evening.

Would probably fish better with more water, but I managed a few - trout small today but grayling good size. Also a couple of parr. Lovely beat thank you - things like the sign for the car parking spot are much appreciated, and with clear paths and benches this must be one of the most accessible beats on the Upper Wye. Wading still tricky in places of course!
