Beautiful stretch of the Wye with good fly water even in very low water. Saw a few salmon throughout the day which kept up
motivation. Very knowledgeable, helpful ghillie Nathan. Will fish there again. Thank you

Salmon seen in the morning along whole beat but no catch today. Still glorious day fishing

Water level between 1 and 0.9 metre above the Redbrook gauge and falling. Water cold. Rain shower over night. Over cast. Wind had changed downstream, yesterday was up stream. Weather started to become brighter and sunnier at lunch time. Got in the water early. Fished both deep and shallow. Different passes and used a dropped also. Unfortunately, nothing. But a good day. I will be back. Not a fish seen. Water coloured but clearing.

Water level between 1.2 and just over 1 metre above the Redbrook gauge and falling. Water cold. Weather bright and sunny. Got in the water early. Fished both deep and shallow. Different passes and used a dropped also. Varying the flies also. Unfortunately, nothing. But a good day. Nathan the Ghillie is useful source of information. Well worth the money. I will be back.

A challenging day of fishing, offset by the glorious sunshine. This was our second visit to the beat having had no luck back in April with super low water and blazing sunshine. This time round we had too much water (1.2m at Redbrook), heavily coloured and again blazing sunshine!!
Despite our best efforts we did not touch a salmon (nor saw any for that matter). Based off the positive catch reports further up river, our guess was that the fish were simply moving through and any residents were sitting tight in the poor visibility.
I did take a rather nice 1lb brown trout who rather ambitiously took a large tube fly!
I still think this is a great stretch of water and will be giving it one more try when the conditions improve.

Fished for Salmon. Had to spin, river still high and coloured. Not a thing moved, stirred , touched or seen! Apparantly well up river the results were good, all the fish bolting through whilst they could. Several canoes, bank hols weekend. Mayfly showing well. To deep to wade.

Few salmon seen along whole beat but unfortunately we haven't managed to hook one.

Spent the first full day of my salmon fishing life at this lovely beat. It is a really nice stretch of water and thoroughly enjoyed my day despite only catching a species that I wasn't targeting.

Thanks to the Ghillie, Nathan who was really helpful and spent a lot of time helping me with information on the river and tactics.

I look forward to coming back soon.

We had a fantastic day on the river, despite no fish touched. With blazing sunshine and no fresh water for weeks we had managed expectations heading into the day, but what a glorious spot to spend the day casting and enjoying the weather!
We fished scandi shooting heads + intermediate tips with dressed flies (Alley Shrimp, Cascade and Silver Stoat) on the top pools and had a few casts of the spinner on the bottom section but no takers. Thanks to the crystal clear water several fish were spotted holding tight on the bottom.
We were superbly looked after by the gillie Nathan, and will absolutely be coming back.
