Fished from 9am t0 3pm quite cold with heavy mist am. Fished the lower section in the morning to no avail. Fished the top section in the afternoon and had four grayling, the best of which was about pound and a half. Good to see the the top half made accessible, but it's still hard work for a 71 year old negotiating the track.

4 Grayling

Perfect conditions, water height, colour and temperature and no wind, but nothing showing and no knocks or tugs even.

Arrived at 10 to find the valley shrouded in mist. River was showing just over 0.5 on the Cilmery gauge. Parked up at the lower parking spot. After a quick recce and a chat with the owner, I made my way down to the river. I'd brought my 11' nymphing outfit, but the whole of the beat is more suited to a shorter rod. Next time it'll be the 8'. Managed 5 grayling, largest was 14", smallest 3"and 1 o.o.s. trout of 12" from a 10yd stretch in the gutter at the botom of the beat.Then nothing until a deep hole above the house where another trout of 16". By now the mist had gone and the sun was high in the sky.

Fantastic setting, definitely will return.

2 Trout, 5 Grayling

Beautiful beat and day,pity the grayling didn't turn up. 2 at around 3/4lb and 3 osb one on the dry fly.River still low.

Lovely beat made better by the hard work that has been done on the access. Setting the standard for other beats!!!

Return for R F of Buckhurst Hill. One barbel within 20 minutes of arrival, the second one came just at packing up time!

First time i had been there so not sure what to expect.
A very beautiful small river fairly difficult access but once in very easy wading. One small out of season trout on size 20 ptn in the morning. After lunch and a well needed glass of Merlot a few fish rising on lower part of the beat and manage a graying and another out of season trout on a small sedge all safely returned

Another great days fishing on this stretch. Moving around to find them was key.

No fish. One coloured fish showed bottom of the beat and a smaller fresher fish top of beat.

lovely day at wyebank. Needed to downsize everything to get the bites and for a while it was a bite a chuck when the shoal of barbel moved in.

Easy to get to when water level is normal by wading along the shingle bank

Lost one feeder to a cut off but nothing to snags I think you need to beef up your main line and feeder length and keep casting to the same spot all day

no weed all in all a lovely day river level was perfect with good clarity
