Lovely to fish a new venue despite taking your life in your hands at the ‘luggsmouth’ entrance. Travel light if walking to top boundary. River was in great condition. Fished float first peg into 2nd field and lost 2 very big chub on an unseen snag before the tree before catching 3 and a few nice dace. Bullocks turned up so went into cattle free bottom field where there is good access to the water. Had a chub and a barbel on the feeder on the crease then moved towards the bottom for another chub. Only swim I didn’t catch from was the nice looking but muddy one in the trees.
I’d like to go back and fish the float at the top end when cattle not present. Would fish well with water on I think.
Beware if you are on your own- leaving by car onto the busy road is dangerous-.use hazards and listen .

Nice beat, but only a few swims to look at in the top section with myself and one other angler. River looked good, but as soon as sun was on the water it went very quiet for much of the day. The second the sun dipped beyond the trees there were a few knocks on the rod. Then quiet again. Would visit again, but get there earlier! Would suggest the parking details need an update as the area recommended has 'no parking' signs and cones that indicate the waterworks would rather anglers didn't!

Found swim choice difficult here, large amounts of the best aren’t really fishable due to bank side vegetation. Both fish good quality, the chub around 5 lb and the barbel 9 lb. expensive beat though.

I had some excitement in the morning when I thought I was into a salmon in the Gromain Cottage Pool. It turned out to be a 5lb trout. Apart from that, no salmon seen.

River a little high but clear. Access/egress to pools difficult.No fish seen, pleasant day all the same

Tough conditions. 2 Anglers blanked

Looked perfect but strangely hard going. A beautiful Wye afternoon with lovely light as the sun descended. Lots of Kingfishers, but fish not wanting to play ball. A couple of fish late afternoon saved the day
