What a fantastic day!!
My first time on the Irfon and it's a stunning stretch of river. The day was made even better when I managed to hook and land my first grayling after several unsuccessful trips in search of this beautiful, hard fighting fish. This fish was about a pound and a half in weight and was the first of three. The other two were around the half pound to a pound mark. A small wbt of about 10" was also landed and a much larger fish lost as it somersaulted through the air. All fish were taken on Czech nymphs.
A fantastic experience made even better as the wife also landed her first grayling.
Many many thanks to Seth who's advice proved to be invaluable.

I took the advice from Mr.Fisher and fished the Rope Pool. The river was tanking through, and the colour of soup, but the steps swim offered a nice cast to the edge of the flow. I caught 4 barbel, biggest 6lb 2oz.

5 barbel up to 6lb one from the top end of the beat five from the tree line no fish from the lower end. All fish caught on pellet. Fishing was limited due to match on opposite bank.

River high and falling - 4 barbel from 9.5 lbs to 4 lbs on halibut pellet. All fish in excellent condition. Chub conspicuous by their absence. Very enjoyable day. Clear instructions and map. Many thanks.

First time to fish the Wye and on arrival flow was very strong, the area must have had heavy rain and so found it difficult to fish. Lots of debris, even a tree at 1 point, great looking river and scenery though. Unfortunately no fish, going to come back on a colder day with hopefully less flow

As expected arrived to find the river well up and coloured managed to find a slack section out of the main pull and debris, feeding and fishing h/pellet really tight under the near bank. I went on to take 6 chub & 3 barbel, all in superb condition. Thanks yet again to all at w&u.

I fished with halibut pellets in the deep water at the top end of the beat, and caught 3 barbel. First cast at 9.30am produced a 10lb-07oz! This was followed at 14.00 by a 8lb-08oz. Just as the light was going, another beauty of 9lb-04oz rounded off a great day. All the fish in superb condition.

Piking on top half the beat trying any likley looking holes, just one missed run, was told by a member of a shoot late in the day that most of the pike were taken from the bottom of the beat in the slacker waters?? Try there next time maybe, an enjoyable day again in the Wye valley. Thanks everyone at w&u for a great service.

Really struggled on this occasion. No chub or barbel, one pike 12lb.

3 Barbel @ average of 6lbs each (returned).
