Nice days fishing but a tough beat to conquer for finding Mr Trout late August. A pleasant day on the river Wye but unfortunately no catch. Further up river I think next time. Some very big Chub past locksters pool down stream and seeing big pike late in evening at the pool.

We enjoyed our visit to Whitney Court beautiful part of the river. For any less able Angler it is a long walk from the parking area on the upper beats to the more popular swims.

The two of us fished 4 days this week (21st, 22nd, 24th, 25th). River started high and coloured on the first day, and dropped throughout the week. Had to work hard to find the Barbel, but managed 8 between the two of us on the last day, with the largest 8lb 4oz. We were lucky with the conditions and had a very enjoyable week, and hopefully will be able to come again one day.

A little slower than yesterday but another very pleasant day with the river continuing to fall and beginning to clear. 1 barbel of 8.5 lbs, the other 2 about 4.5 lbs.

River very high after rain, just starting to drop, very pleasant day.

Quite a cool and wet day with the river carrying a good amount of fresh water. Caught from beats 6 and 4, the better fish coming towards in the evening. Despite the weather a good day as always on this beat.

Hen fish, 12lb caught on No 3 around 1900 on size 12 Irish shrimp fly

1 Salmon

A good day's fishing and a fair amount of walking. Plenty of nice water to have a go at. Caught from beats 3 and 4. Only a nibble was the reward for the trek down to beat 6. Legered meat and pellets the method.

Water level was good & all beats were fishable; Plenty of coloured fish showing ,esp. on beat 3 but nothing touched by any of the anglers who were all fishing the fly.Lovely day with plenty of wildlife to observe including one very relaxed kingfisher that had a bit of a cough for a while;We all thought he may have just 'downed' a rather large stickleback?Thanks for a wonderful day.
