Arrow low but still a bit of flow. Fished pools where faster water was entering. Started at 7.00 and by 8.30 had 6 grayling all around 6-7". All on 18 ptn under a kinkhammer. Nothing after that although missed a few.
With reference to Court of Noke access - stick to the same bank as the car parking. After the first field the field headland along the bank has all been mown. I have hacked half a dozen access points with wading staff - did not take long. If everyone fishing spent a few minutes keeping access points open through the balsam and nettles (not just on this beat) - would be of benefit to all.

6 Grayling

Another hard day on the Wye before heading home. Managed 2 barbel and although conditions seemed ok the fishing this weekend has not been as good as normal. Got home to find that we had left a net at middle hill court. I'm assuming that it will be long gone but if anyone fishes there and finds a net I would really appreciate it if they would let the Wye and Usk know so they can contact me. Back again in a few weeks and hopefully the river will be back on form.

This was always going to be a recce than a serious fishing opportunity. River very low. Number of trees down. Un-fishable in places due to trees. Access to the river very poor along the whole stretch. Balsam everywhere. But worst of all is that barbed wire is everywhere.
A nice beat badly let down by non-existence maintenance.
There's no doubt that there are lots of fish there - and lots have been caught recently, but I won't return there.

8 Trout, 15 Grayling

Another great day on the Wye. Our first visit to this beat but will not be the last. Eight fish came to hand within the first hour, all being caught along the Lady Alexanders Catch and all were caught on spiders in the surface film. The remaining fish were caught (on nymphs) throughout the day, mainly from around the riffle below Abernant Stream. Apart from the trout and grayling we took five salmon parr. If we had connected with all the touches and knocks we could easily have recorded in excess of twenty fish.

2 Trout, 6 Grayling, 5 Other

2 rods blanked and the other were still catching when we left, 1 rod caught all day spread out and the other caught from 7 onwards. The lowest I have seen this stretch and I have been fishing the great wye for a while.
