As this was our first time at Wyebank RJ and I started at the top and worked our way down. We didnt get far as small barbel, chub and (good size!) dace were obliging from the start on trotted corn. MF stuck with feeder and boilie losing a 4lb ish barbel at the net and landing a 3lb chub that took on the drop! Lots of bites (to 15mm boilie) but they seemed to be from smaller fish. Thank you to the owner and WUF for access to this lovely part of the Wye.

My second time on the Towy upstream from Rhandirmwyn. A clear sunny day. Water very clear. 1 beautiful 14" brown trout caught on a CDC dry fly size 18 (barbless and returned), 8'6" rod, 12 foot tapered leader and 6x tippet length. This was one of only two rises I saw over 6 hours and took 30 minutes of stalking! But fantastic fun on a really wild river - no bank management visible!

Fished from 7am until 10am.Conditions difficult due to cold air temperature. (7 degrees) and then brightness when the sun warmed things up. Some good sedge hat he's as things warmed. Should have switched to a nymph rather than dry fly. This is a wonderful stretch to fish though and I shall be back next season.

Hot and Bright. No fish caught, but good day out. There were some rises around midday, on the north side near the rock face where it seems to get deeper, quicker. Only had a floating line with me, so limited options but tried to get deeper with some weighted wet flies and buzzers, no joy.

A beautiful Bank Holiday saturday, river was low and coloured but sport was steady all day. 2 of us fished the Steps pegs with pretty decent bank conditions & apart from an armada of canoes between 2 & 3 pm it was pretty quiet and certainly didn't spoil the day in any way. Chub from 1 - 5lb were a plenty but the elusive Barbel failed to put in an appearance. Fish were in lovely condition and had a good chat with the water bailiff / owner. Thoroughly recommend booking this beat & we will have to go back and get in to those Barbel.

Only fished the evening but no fish, a few rising late on but remained elusive. Tourists and dogs in the water at top end as it was a lovely evening. Also 3 anglers from other bank in the river outside Chainbridge.

Always a pleasure to be here and the fishing is secondary on this beautiful beat....It was a touch slow for me but both the Barbel were good fish and having caught a Perch the previous day at Lower Cannon Bridge on sweetcorn I followed it up here with an Eel on the same bait...interesting...Obviously some work has been undertaken which has enhanced this venue and thanks to those involved for their efforts. The beat appears to be fishing well despite the low water and am pleased to report the fish all fought well and recovered quickly.
