Your literature states that wading is "as easy as it gets on the Wye"

I'm afraid I disagree.

The riverbed has many large uneven rocks, and wading is difficult, even with a wading staff.

Good river flow. Very few rises - only nymphing techniques used. Fabulous beat. Fish were all small - 8ozs and under and returned with absolutely minimal handling. We used Justin Connolly's guiding services - his knowledge was excellent and really good company to boot.

Hadn't fished the lovely Cammarch for quite some time, so decided on the lower beat ...plenty of water in it when I parked up at half ten, cracking, with its usual reddy tinge to it .....dry fly perfection I'd say !!!
Fished a single dry as I always do in the summer months .... its just gotta be done hey !! A tiny Para Iron Blue brought them up after some stealthy wading .... hard work with the tree canopy and growth to be honest, and I'm tired of saying this beat needs a haircut , that beat needs a trim, so I'm not going too, but it does,big time !!! Lol !!!.....
Superb fun where it opens up and i had four respectable stream trout in a tally of eleven...ranging in sizes six to perhaps eleven inches .... like grease lightening here.... thought I was on the ball with my dry fly work,but I missed maybe four good rises , oh well, still great fun ..... and also three good fish didn't quite make it to the net ... aarrggghhhhhhh never mind .......
A lovely four hours, only did half of the lower beat, as got out, up the steep bank hit the road for the longish walk back to my truck, but a smashing few hours dry fly sport, I'd go as far as to say its as good as the Edw and the fish go barmy when hooked!!!
Will give the Upper beat a bash next week, nice to be back in the confines of the stream, up close and personal with the brownies, after a couple of great days on Caban Coch and Claerwen reservoirs, lovely job, home time and a bottle of Rev.James is waiting for me , spot on !!!!!
