This was my second attempt at catching a Wye Salmon, and my third time ever salmon fishing. The beat as ever is gorgeous and it was nice to fish it differently, a salmon fly cast across pretty much anywhere on the beat swings across the river very pleasingly. My casting came together very nicely by the afternoon but despite doing a reasonable impression of someone who knows what they’re doing I failed to catch, a lovely late summers day on the river nonetheless.

Nice sized grayling, good stretch of water to keep you busy all day. Water coloured in morning but cleared, by the afternoon the fishing improved. Top of beat was more productive.

Well kept, coffee and biscuits provided by owners.

Great to be back on the Wye, had a great session after driving down earlier in the day. Most fish after 5pm. Barbel to 9lbs 1oz on pellet and some nice chub up to around 5lbs on meat.

Fished quite deep with weighted shrimp patterns. Best grayling about 16”.

What a fabulous stretch and some lovely swims. Meat seems to be the bait at the moment. All the barbel were a nice size but nothing over 7.5lb. Only negative is the walk up the hill both ways, it is horrendously steep. Will certainly be back again.
