Two short sessions fished 0700-1000 and 1600-1830. Access to stretch is very limited due to steep banks and heavy vegetation. Fished one of the lower cribs below dead tree. River low and clear. During morning session trotted meat and fed hemp and meat on inside crease and down track. 0 bites. Evening session fished next peg down. Fished groundbait feeder with plenty of 4 and 6 mms pellets. Single hair digger 8mm halibut pellet fished on size 14 hoping for any bites. 1 bite that was a barbel that I lost due to a flawed hook link. Really disappointed with the fishing. Beautiful surroundings. Wouldn't recommend to anyone who isn't sure footed with the bank access. Also worth mentioning it is single banked and anglers fishing opposite pegs.

Very sunny and warm day river low and clear just 2 chub caught.

Beautiful sunny day, stunning location. Tremendous amount of fly hatches However, only the tiddlers showed any interest. All fish taken with nymphs. Nothing caught in dries.

4 Trout, 1 Grayling

Lovely spot and I imagine it would be more prolific on another day

3 Trout

Only a small Chub and Barbel but they were very welcome given the conditions . Plenty of accessible swims available on this short stretch of river. Fished left hand bank as it was shady and used pellet with a cage feeder.

This is a beautiful stretch of river which sadly is not even a shadow of its former self.
I walked the entire length of it this morning looking for fishable swims and could only find two that were recognisable.
I don’t see how it would accommodate four anglers in its current state. So be aware of this if you are thinking of booking it as a group.
It goes without saying that I didn’t fish here today and will not do so tomorrow either.
Wye and Usk: this beat could be so much better. It is certainly not value for money in its current state.

Another Bright and sunny day with clear water. Fish very shy river needs some rain to improve sport.

Bright sunny day, low water, very overgrown: it's September! Fished for a couple of hours, late afternoon, no hatching flies.
The meadows were full of daddy long legs, and had several splashy rises to dry patterns, but couldn't connect. One 10 inch fish to a grey duster lost at the net: joys of barbless! Had a look at other recent reviews: agree there are rarely rising fish here, but there are plenty in the river: in the 'dredged' middle section they throw up muddy trails as they are spooked and head off upstream! Two nice kingfishers.
