No fish caught

Clean grilse this morning about 4lbs from Middle Caban on 1/2" flashy stoats tail tube.

1 Salmon

Just one trout caught and returned, about 14 inches in length. Caught on Adams dry fly - a few bites missed as well on the same fly. Great beat with a number of interesting looking pools. WUF and fishery directions etc. both excellent.

Started cloudy sunny by mid day. Did not see a rise all day and observed no fish in the stream. Stream seemed cloudy with white sediment. Very over grown and a lot of the upper beat under dense canopy and dark. Water level low. Did see a kingfisher. Have had better days fishing. No fish caught, although I am sure there should be some trout in the many deep fast pools. A real challenge for casting!

WUF note: we will look into the cause of the white sediment, thanks for letting us know

River flow good - fished swim feeders with small boilies.
Most fish caught late afternoon - ceased fishing at 6pm.

An absolute bargain to have this short beat to yourself all day. I was keen to catch barbel after not seeing one for a couple of years on my local river so I did my best to avoid chub and could have caught lots more, the beat is stuffed with them. Some were clonkers 5lb+ that made up for the lack of barbel. The barbel I did catch was a baby, which was cute. On a general fishery note, well maintained, good access points created to fish from, its the Wye so is of course beautiful as always. I would return to this beat. Thanks.

Three anglers. Very cold wind. River in good condition. Hard work getting fish

Caught on worm and spinning. Great place to fish

Despite a shower in the morning, the water was fairly clear. Good fly hatch and dry fly conditions. All fish were caught on dry and released. One salmon spotted but none caught. Great fishing spot

It was cold and drizzly to start with, but I had some success with the nymph. Various types of fly started to appear about 1pm and I switched to dry. I had a good deal of interest in grey and rusty klinkhammers through the afternoon but missed a lot of fish through striking too soon - a typical fault for me when searching with dries. I ended up with 8, the best about 10".
