Clear and very hot. River low and clear, not ideal. Canoists were a disgrace had a party of 10 idiots decide to jump in directly in front. Pegs not as defined as led to believe on website.
Fish caught between 10am and 3pm. No bites at all 3pm till 8pm. Fishing pellet and cage feeder with pva bag of pellet each cast. 3 chub with one at 5.5lb. A PB for me on the Wye. One double figure barbel lost at net. A plus point were the number of salmon jumping were half a dozen 20lb+ fish were seen. Overall dissapointing day spoilt by weather and canoists behaviour.

A sweltering hot day with not a cloud in the sky---not typical Bugeilyn conditions !! We struggled with the fishing but the surroundings looked spectacular.

Only fished for 2 hours in the evening, a good few fish rising, just my poor casting that only hooked the one fish. A good size for the Hindwell, around 16 inches.

My first ever salmon fishing experience. Some algae bloom but water fishable. Extremely sunny and hot day so fished early morning on the fly up to 1130 with excellent guidance and instruction from the resident ghillie, Mick. Not much evidence of salmon except for one rather acrobatic specimen. Canoeists began passing from about 10am.

Fished a late afternoon into the evening session. River very low and slow could do with a good flush through. Had one bite fishing in the woods a chub of 4lb 5oz

Very hot day with hardly any sign of fish moving about. I found the upper stretches virtually unfishable due to access and found only a few pegs on the lower level where you could safely fish. All fish came to luncheon meat fished over loose pellet feeding.

An very hot, bright sunny day with lowish water levels I should judge (though this was my first time on this beat). Occasional signs of Mayfly and other hatching flies and sporadic rises by small fish. I took three small brownies on a Parachute Adams (and lost three more) and then made the mistake of changing to a Humpy and a Pheasant Tail nymph with the unintended result of hooking myself securely in my left hand, a misuse of a nymph if ever there was one. I can warmly recommend the staff of the A&E Department at Nevill Hall Hospital!
