Garnons, another fish for Ricky Reno 28 to 30lb on a spindle fly last Friday.

Not impressed. This was booked due to the description being described as good for easy access !
I do wonder if the Wye and Usk staff have ever been there !!!
The access is down broken stone steps and mud , with a broken hand rail etc .
This takes you down to the area that is a small channel by the back of the island , then let’s talk about the wading to access any other part of the beat … one word …. Lethal
It is NOT gravel it is large boulders and deep MUD in the margins . I am a confident wader but gave up on the end.
What an absolute waste of £40 … never even set a rod up !

Not a lot going on hatch wise. A few LDO's coming off about 12.30 pm and the odd fish rising but I was unable to tempt any.
The only fish taken was a brown about 1lb on a nymph.

No fish caught 1bite all day don't think they're putting many fish in because not many going there,need to get the ticket machine's back then more people would go fishing ????

Cruel N.East wind and broken sunshine on a low river. Lovely beat with a variety of pools, runs & flats. Didn’t see any rising fish until midday. Good hatch of March Browns in the sunshine along with some LDO’s . Fished duo and nymphs early on then switched to dry as fish started to rise. Landed 4 and lost 2 good fish on dries, one on a March Brown spider. Challenging day but good fishing.

A bright blustery day . Water level and clarity perfect for the fly . Unfortunately no salmon
Some lovely pools . Shame about the planks on the bottom beat where the floods have moved the concrete. Making this difficult to fish the two pools . A beautiful section of the upper Wye .

Sunny day with some cloud. With a cold upstream wind. Very slow hatches of LDO and March Browns from noon onwards. Successful patterns were jinglers and March brown emergers.
