Cracking March day down on the Wye nothing better than a bit of Spring; nice easily fishable beat for 1 or maybe 2 rods for a day. No Salmon but had a nice fat 18lb Pike hooked on the opposite bank that gave me a merry run down the river as it kited across the current.

The Wye is the place but not sure about the increase in day rates which has left me priced out on many of the other beats; maybe not the best way to encourage anglers onto the river. Thanks all the same.

WUF Note : Prices have increased on only three Wye Salmon beats this year.

2 Pike

Cloudy, 10C, water risen after week of rain. Not much activity. Caught just one trout, lovely area. So quiet. Lost couple of fish, not easy to locate it. No fish taken. Thanks.

Perfect river and weather conditions meant the barbel were feeding well today. Fishing at the lower end of the beat I sat it out in one productive swim all day. Bites came steadily throughout the day on a variety of shapes, sizes and types of pellet combined with a 5oz feeder to hold bottom in the strong flow. The final tally was 10 barbel to 8lb 14oz. A good start to my 4 day end of season trip.

10 Barbel

The river looked perfect, just over a meter on with a good bit of colour. Fished swims throughout the beat bur struggled to find the fish. All fish caught were in absolutely pristine condition. We are still seeing too many cormorants on this river

Final day so determined to stick it out for a barbel. River dropped again and clearing. Returned to one of the swims I had fished previously and fished a small feeder with hemp and pellets with no other feed. After about 1 1/2 hrs rod wrapped round and a 6lb+ barbel, object achieved and I'm well happy.
Moved a number of times again, but no other fish until 18.00 when I had a 2lb chub. Time to go home.
I really enjoyed my 3 days at Sugwas and hope to return later this year. The river looked in excellent condition, and I thought I'd have more, but that's fishing!
