Gorgeous beat rotated between swims.

Canoeists were a pain, on the whole very friendly but the longer the day went on the more drunk the groups were. We had people jumping in to the water on sight of us and making so much noise as to disturb the swims. One group even complained that they didn't know there would be anglers on the banks, even though we had no lines in the water..... Behaviour on the river is getting worse each year that I come back!

This was a lovely stretch, again plenty of water to go at but much better access to the water than Thomas Wood. Weather looked spot on but the river was fishing hard, looked like it needed a bit more water on to pick the pace up...not sure if its just the lower Wye stretches (I normally fish middle) but the water clarity was also very poor...

I tried swims across the whole stretch - first field, into lower meadow right up until island pool (No luck!) - my dad sticking to the swim nearest the car (pump station) was rewarded with a nice barbel of 6lLb 8oz, fish was very long and lean, spawned out. He lost a further fish on a hook pull. We fished up until 9:30pm and I managed only one chub in the evening. Stretch does look lovely though and I would give it another crack later in the year.

Again access track down to the river is 80% fine, 20% not so good - dry conditions no issue but with a little rain a 2WD would struggle... 4x4 recommended to be safe

Llyn Ogwen, no fish caught. Very heavy rain and strong winds.

Hi, I had an early start on the middle and lower beat, fish were showing all the way down with a nice 1lb Brown jumping out near the lower car park, I managed to catch one on the lower beat on C&R, on my way back up the lower beat a large fish (not sure what) jumped out of Pwllcefylau pool estimated 12 to 14 pounds weight. Plenty of fish showing and lots of small brown minnows in the lower beat.
Nice morning
