Arrived to find the swim that has produced some good fish for me in the past taken. Beat four. Despite moving beats and trying different areas blanked,( crossed Whitney Toll Bridge four times !) This for the first time in many years of fishing the river Wye.River with conditions perfect. Old Pumphouse section poor access, unfishable Will not return

A great days sport. River and weather conditions perfect. 15 chub caught on rolling meat float fished pellet and feeder fished boilie, from chublet to 4lb 5oz. A barbel would have been 'The icing on the cake'. Thanks to Terry and all at the Trust. Fished beats 3 and 4. The gate was unlocked when we arrived and couldn't be locked when we left. Will be back soon.

Looked perfect, overcast and a good level. After this year's floods the fish were not in their usual haunts.
1 chub landed, 1 lost and a first for me ever here ~no barbel.
Had a fabulous chat with a trout angler returning to the place for the first time in fifty years where it a started for him.

Got set up on the river bank mid morning & within half an hour the river started to rise at a fairly rapid rate meaning that one had to move rod, rod rest, seat & tackle box a couple of feet further up the bank every 20 minutes.It was interesting to see the response of the salmon to a sudden rise in water...it really' tickled their fancy' and they were leaping everywhere for a short while. Sport waned later on as the river became a torrent with logs, branches & other debris coming downriver not to mention three very wet fishermen; When you can't even light a fag it's time to call it. Which is what we did.
Might book a salmon rod next time!
Thanks all for the opportunity to get out.

Never fished as river was in flood.

Started of with low clear conditions. Fished beats 3-5 in rotation. 11am river risen 2ft and pace increased. Unable to fish the known holding spots. Headed for creases and slacks. Work hard for 6 hours and caught only chublets. Lovely bit of river. Wrong washed out conditions for the nature of the stretch. Didn’t fish the second day as river was still to high :-(
