Unfortunately we didn't fish.

We had booked 3 months ago so was looking forward to fishing Wyebank after a good few years but unfortunately the only 2 accessible pegs were unfishable as the water levels were too high and water was pushing through at a good pace. Disappointing but no one can predict the river level, we will try again.

Fished in front of second picnic table, meat corn and pellet on feeder, 4ft tail to size 14 with two pellet bands or a bait spike. 4 barbel, lost two more, 3 chub and 3 dace. Quite snaggy anywhere more than one third over due to lost braid/nylon from previous anglers but couldn't get a bite closer in. Moved to upstream end swim and trotted meat and corn close in for 14 more chub up to 3lb but mostly 12oz to 20oz, some good dace and a perch. Mind the tripwire 4 inches off the ground at the top of the bank in this peg. Short stretch but lovely and peaceful. An hour's work with a pole saw would would improve the middle swims no end. Would definitely fish here again as long as it was during a dry spell.

Lovely day on one of favourite Irfon beats, with its open banks, pretty gravel runs and mysterious deep pools which 'can' hold specimen grayling. Just the one grayling though, but it was a beautiful fish of 17-inches. Plenty of out of season trout to 15", mostly taken on the dry due to the above average temperatures. I must admit, I'm beginning to get slightly concerned about the lack of grayling in the Irfon – particularly the smaller fish.

No fish hooked (missed a few). Didn’t explore as much of the beat as I should. Access to a lot of the river is very restricted due to the overgrowth.
