None as the beat was unfishable due to the weather. So,I did not go and I was told that refunds are not possible. Could not postpone to another date as I was on holiday -I live near Cambridge. On the previous Monday I was due to go on the same beat with Gareth Lewis and it was a wash-off. He has probably been in touch with you.

Very difficult, river very high and virtually unfishable. Only one barbel between the 2 rods.

An excellent day. River falling and clearing despite heavy rain showers. Good hatches of various olives...autumn dun and smaller olives. Caught 25 trout from 1/4 to 1lb on nymph and dry fly. Interestingly larger fish not in evidence.

1 Barbel weighing 10lb caught on halibut pellet.
Fishing difficult with river in flood, almost impossible to hold bottom.

River high and muddy, tried a variety of pegs and tactics but to no avail,not a single bite.

River high and coloured, borderline unfishable, but we gave it a go. Searching out the deeper pots and eddys, we managed 3 grayling and a couple of WBT on heavy shrimp and peeping caddis patterns. Nothing big but any catch in the conditions felt like a victory.

River up but fishable with enough swims for 4. 2 blanks, 1 had 3 & lost a couple, 1 had 6 & lost 4 so even though conditions were tough it was worth sitting it out. Will definitely return to this area.

Only 2 thought the trip would be worth it with the river up. Both rods had a fish each but couldn't move around enough to find fish.

Second day on the Wye after blank first day river was still up around 2.6 metres. We decided to fish bottom section which proved a mistake not many slacks to aim for and once again all three rods had no bites just one foul hooked eel! Again it is hard to judge this water on the conditions.

River up but still had 7 barbel best fish was 10lb 4oz plus 2 chub.
