Fished the whole beat hard…not a touch. Next spate should liven up.

Nothing caught, brief hatch for about 20 minutes mid afternoon with a few fish rising but could not get them to take my fly. Saw a Osprey.

Changeable weather today, cloudy, sunny and a few showers with light winds.

Difficult fishing though, not takers on any kind of nymph, but a hatch around 1pm brought the fish to the surface. Unfortunately we couldn't get them to take anything, despite trying many different flies.

As we walked back to the car we both tried casting dries into likely looking areas. This was how I managed to fluke a 10 inch fish.

Not sure why it was so difficult when this is such a productive beat?

Love the top beats on this section of the Wye and two cracking salmon seen leaping 2or 3 feet out of the water . I think they were on the run . I would say the bigger of the two Hen fish around 26lb and the smaller 15lb .
A couple of trout caught .

A really nice beat, plenty of fishing although I think it will become increasingly tricky in the coming months as the undergrowth and trees fill out.
Forecast was for dull, mild weather but instead was a mix of light through to heavy rain, gusty and a tad chilly.
Much higher than expected and frustratingly very coloured water - a strange pallor to the water, more grey than brown. It looked as if the water had been very high recently and it was still coming through at a fast pace, compared with my last visit back in March.
No hatch seen and not much luck, despite trying both nymphs and a team of wets. Did get 3 bites around 1230, all in the same spot, felt like a small fish or perhaps a grayling as in a spot where I had caught grayling on a previous visit, just under the footbridge (not sure if there are plans to repair the bridge, as it would certainly make access that bank much easier).
Shame to have a blank but will definitely be back for the challenge as really interesting beat.

Fishing Passport Note : Work to improve access to the river will be taking place on 26th June 2023

A fine-looking beat, but rather quiet - a trickle of olives, fish not taking the nymph it seems. Too cool? Too early? Too late? Too high? Too low?

Good days fishing caught my ticket. Missed plenty bites to.
