A great Sunday on the Wye. Got to Sugwas court at about 11am. Fished marine halibut boilies over a feeder. Action started about 4pm and fish came regularly until dusk. Four Barbel over 7lb the biggest being a 9lb fish. Two smaller Barbel of 3lb and 4lb. A small chub of 2lb late in the day.
Enjoyed my day very much.

6 Barbel, 1 Chub

Met WUF baliff repainting salmon hut. His girlfriend was working very hard. Found some nice barbel in the faster water.

11 Barbel, 4 Chub

River in excellent condition. Fished upper section to avoid the geese. Most fish taken on halibut boilies.

10 Barbel, 7 Chub

CP and BS from London fished the beat from 10.45am-1.45pm. Bright morning sun gave was to scattered clouds/overcast. Fished from the lower end of the beat at the confluence of the river with the Lugg. Fishing was a mixture of dry flies and, in some sections, weighted nymphs; fish were caught with both. Size 16 pheasant tail nymphs on faster water, and Czech nymphs deeper in the pools; both caught fish. Fish came on about 12.00pm. 6 wild brown trout and 5 grayling, 12” largest of each.

River had a tinge of colour and a little more flow after recent rain. Cloudy, becoming sunny around 1pm. A pleasant afternoon, becoming cloudy again with drizzle at 6pm. Air temp around 15C; water temp 13C.
No insect life and no rise. Tried everything - emergers, dry daddy, nymphs, fry imitators (had had good results with one of these the previous day, on a non WUF stretch). No trout caught! Better luck next time !
2 salmon seen at bottom end of beat.

The river was lower than I had hoped for but looked OK on arrival with a few upwinged flies hatching. I tried nymphs,spiders and dries but had little interest apart from Salmon and Trout parr. Didn't really count the parr but it was quite a lot many of which managed to unhook themselves.

First time for us on this beat. Good water & weather conditions combined to give excellent fishing. Fish taken on a mix of methods - dries / french leader & Klink n dink.
Met up with Shaun the owner, a keen angler himself, who gave us some great local knowledge, and was most helpful - Thanks Shaun. Grayling to approx 2.5lbs & Trout to over 2lbs. Fantastic fishery with good access, safe and secure parking - will def be back soon.

Lovely stretch of river. Level appeared low. Started off at bottom end before moving into wooded area and finding the fish. All caught on pellet. Wooded area appears to have dried out.
