Fished for a few hours around mid-day, which in mid-August probably isn't the best time. Nice to see the river with a bit of water in it. Very little fly life a few midges and a couple of caddis, didn't see any rising fish. However I did pick up a few on the nymph. So a very pleasant few hours on this very nice beat.

The river had risen sharply overnight and was the colour of drinking chocolate, with a strong flow. Still managed 5 barbel with two around 9lb.

A few hours late afternoon on the Honddu, quite a slow start, river was at a nice height but quite murky from recent rains and cows in the meadow section accessing the water. Had a couple on nymph, but very slow until I switched to a jig streamer, which landed me around a dozen fish. Nothing big today, a few 13 - 14 inch fish to the net but vast majority from 7 to 9 inches. Good fun nevertheless.

River at 2’6” and very brown. Dropped to 2’4” during day but did not clear. Fished fly mainly from Island and through Rock Pool. No fish seen or caught.
Looked in on Rectory Pool and put a fly through it without success.
Great day to be on the river.

Water high, fast, cold, and murky. Limited areas to fish from this bank in this water condition. Couldnt even get to upper area of the beat (upstream pf islands). Saw 2 rise just before sunset. No bites

Another great day on the Wye. Not easy fishing but roving the stretch found the fish. The Wye was up 1m ovenight and we thought this might get the fish feeding but they didn't really seem too bothered and we had to work for the bites, fighting all the debris that was coming down, weed, branches, logs, etc. However 4 barbel each and some nice chub was a great reward.
