River was still fairly high, blanked on the ledger.

River flow about walking pace, with a good colour. Overcast and mild. Was here 2 weeks ago, very low and clear with a lot weed coming down the river. 2 blank days! Started well with a chub first cast. Had another 2 chub and 2 barbel. Chub approx. 3lb. each. Barbel 4lb.15oz and 7lb.11oz. All fish caught on halibut pellet.

2 Barbel, 3 Chub

Influx of extra water had put the barbel off we think. Chub were very obliging once we got the feed in. One lovely water and will be booking again next year for sure.

7 Chub

End of beat best on feeder & pellets.

7 Barbel, 2 Chub

What a nice little beat. Managed two grayling and out of season WBT. All fish caught on weighted red spot gammarus shrimps.

First time fishing on the upper Wye, and what a lovely place it is too! A chunky trout of around 1.5lb got the heart racing for a few seconds but no sign of any salmon. Lovely Fishery, and if we get the right conditions next season, I will be back.

Arrived around mid day. There was a fair amount of cloud cover and with the recent rainfall pushing through the river had a good level and colour. Thought this would be perfect conditions. Started off about half way down the beat on larger 16mm halibut pellet with closed feeder feeding a few smaller pellets. Also tried paste but neither worked. No bites so moved down to just above the bridge. There was a lot of weed in the faster flowing sections. Tried lob worm but this didn't work so after speaking to one of the other really friendly fisherman there, hairrigged a size 10 hook with 12 and 8mm halibut pellet and a mix of the same in PVA bags. This produced the only fish of the day, a chub at about 4-5 pounds. Moved back up the beat to try the concrete plinth just after the entrance until dusk and had nothing more. This is a great stretch of river and I can imagine that when it's working its great, just wasn't the case today.
