Your literature states that wading is "as easy as it gets on the Wye"

I'm afraid I disagree.

The riverbed has many large uneven rocks, and wading is difficult, even with a wading staff.

Good insect hatch but the trout didn't seem interested. Fished dry, to little avail. Retired to pub.

River lower than expected even after recent rain and not coloured. Nothing rising and nothing caught. Bank more overgrown now than previous visits. Bell pub back open for just a drink which is good. Will return

Had an evening fish, river surprisingly low with all the rain we had. Quite a few smalls bugs but few fish rising caught grayling in faster water on a pheasant tail nymph.

1 Grayling

Quite a lot of activity on the surface. Fished dry. My Adams received intermittent attention but no bites.

Hard work today with bright sunshine and low water - nothing much rising, both caught on GRHE fished duo below an Adams.

Fished from 0630pm until about 9pm. Connected with 5, landed 0 (operator error I fear).

A great beat. Don’t think I even covered half in the time I had. Will be back.

3 seasons in 1 day! Overcast, then rain , then wind , followed by bright sun. Thought it would bring the bugs out but they were having a day off.
Water low and clear.
Very few rising fish, fished until 9.30pm . Hooked 2 (1 nymphing, 1 on a crippled mayfly pattern) but both shook the hook.

Its been a long time since I fished this beat and it was nice to return i had a very pleasant day aside for an encounter with hogweed which has left me with a blistered wrist ( I think this is behind the fallen willow about half way down the beat )
all fish caught were returned, fished nymphs upstream all day few mayfly knocking around yellow mays and few other tiny black things
river was carrying a bit of colour
all in all a good day ( apart from the hogweed )
