Stunning beat. Very scenic and lots of varied water. River was very clear and was at 10" on the neighbouring gauge which was comfortable fishing. Struggled a bit under a hot sun and blue skies in the afternoon, but several grayling came to nymphs. In the evening the trout joined the party, first to nymphs and then a bit of an evening rise at about 8.30pm. I finished up with 7 grayling between 8" and 14" and 8 trout between 6" and 12", mostly on nymphs, with a few on dries at the end. No salmon seen.

Several Barbel to 8lb 12oz and Chub to about 3lb. River very low and clear.

Extremely hot and bright day so didn't fish until 4.30. 2 grayling to 10 inches, 2 wbt quite small all caught on ptn fished kiwi style all fish returned unharmed.

3 Trout 1 chub. All returned.

Had a great day on Wyebank, fishing for barbel between myself and a friend we caught 21 barbel and over 20 chub all were caught on pellet bait using pva bags or feeders. Bites were on the first cast and continued throught the day, but did slow during late morning through until early afternoon. conditions were not the best with very clear lowish water levels and a bright sunny weather. Think you would clean up if conditions were spot on, certainly plenty of fish there!!

12 x trout 6-9 inches on Mini-Klinkhammer. Probably twice that in additional smaller fish and parr. I didn't see any larger fish, but there are a few deep holes at the top end, so they may well be there, as they certainly are on the lower GV beat. I'm not clear how long this beat is, but it takes about 4 hours to fish. A nice morning or afternoon on a very pretty stream in a beautiful valley. It does strike me that 4 vouchers, or perhaps even 3, would be pricing more in line with other similar beats on the passport scheme.

Nil catch, no Salmon seen. Fished early morning and early evening. Guessing most fish had moved on last week after the higher levels. Good fly water though.

Returned 8 wbt from 7" to 11", and as usual missed a few! River clear but running well. On para. olive and adams, mostly from rougher water and faster glides. It may be worth mentioning that below the bridge there is an active camp site - kids and dogs enjoying the sun and water, so I did not bother trying to fish there.

Nice stretch. Fished beat 3 10' of water in a long glide. Half a dozen chub, best 4-8. Fed the barbel but didn't hook any.

Arrived about 10am and walked the venue to decide where to fish. This resulted in an excellent days fishing with my son, between us we caught 20 barbel and 7 chub. The largest barbel was 9lbs 1 oz and all were in immaculate condition. The river was very low and clear but we caught throughout the day. Access to the river in the orchard area was difficult so we parked at the designated spot on the road and fished that meadow. All fish were caught on pellet.
It was a wonderful day in a beautiful setting and I would like to thank the Wye and Usk foundation for making this stretch of the river Wye available. We will definately return. There were cows in every meadow and a bull with each herd and although we were wary they gave us no problems!
