Well has a wee window this morning so opted for a fairly local beat , the Whittern beat of the Arrow !! Overcast and dull when I parked up at ten to nine ,.positively late for me !!! A tinge in the river from the last fee days of on snd off rain , and the river slightly freshened up,.lovely job !!!

Fish looking up from the off to be honest !! And second pool head , a lovely satisfying splashy take. . . Spot on nice start !! And it went like that all the way up to the second bridge !! Had some fun in the glides too , careful casting to risers as water is only a foot deep in places !! Lovely slurping takes too , and the fish go.mad in shallow water !!!! Cracking !!!

Had three thus morning in a tally of eight to net that were really good Fish, probably between twelve and thirteen inches , absolute crackers too !!

I stayed on a sixteen Patachute Iron Blue thf whole time I was there !! And didn't even.loose that fly !! In fact the same one has served me well on the Kington beat and Llynfi Dulas . . . . Lol !!!

Anyway , a really pleasant three hours only went a bit passed the second bridge in the lovely riffley water !! Always a banker of a good take by one or two brownies along that stretch ,.and it didn't disappoint this morning either !! Back here soon , haven't fished this one much this season , may give it an early bash later in the week , lovely job !!!

1x small brown trout caught and returned undamaged. Very quiet, no bites all day other than the one caught.

Access to river extremely difficult, barbed wire fences making it impossible to fish most of it. Very nice fishing in the bits I could get to. Had an enjoyable day but better access would make it so much better. Biggest trout 12ins

A great days fishing on a beautiful stretch of the wye. All fish caught on meat, pellet and corn - both feeder and rolling meat
The other was an eel which took a pellet!? River was low but overcast at times with rain.

Day 2 of our trip was a mirror of the first; fish not to be found in their usual spots, but moving around paid off. Better fish came from the slower and deeper sections at the top of the beat. NB: Great caution required on the path down to the bottom swims, which has been almost completely washed away by the winter floods - parts of it are extremely treacherous, so be careful!

Brilliant day. The rain helped in the evening. Had six fish the largest around a pound and in mint condition. All put back where they belong. Good fly life in patches but as it went dark the river was boiling and was really good sport.
