Funny old day, and pestered with eels, but then I was using meat…… Fished in the woods towards the top, proper tackle cruncher but still a good day. First time on this stretch but enjoyed it, would defo come back.

Originally booked on upper cannon bridge at least we were able but beat unfishable Thank you Allyson for sorting this problem and transferring us to lower cannon bridge . Unfortunately we both blanked but at least we were able to fish

A wonderful late Autumn day at Whitney Court..warm ,still & slightly overcast between periods of blue sky. The Wye was up a foot & a bit & going through at a reasonable pace. We all fished side by side at the bottom of beat 5 using pellets, luncheon meat & pepperoni. It was a day when the big fish were out to play with PB doubles of chub & barbel for two anglers. All fish in tip-top condition, fin perfect & fat as pigs.

Wildlife kept us all entertained as usual with a kingfisher diving after minnows all day on the opposite bank, redwings back in numbers & chattering away to each other, every species of wildfowl known to man & a flypast by a peregrine to mention a few.

Considering the amount of water going through , visibility was very good. There was a decent sized pike on patrol in the shallower water near the bank causing big boils as it lunged at some unfortunate fish on three occasions for any pike experts. We didn't have the kit or the know-how.

A special day for us all, ( & the farmer was very friendly). Thanks as usual to all who make it possible at WUF.

Originally booked upper canon bridge but found it unfishable a call to the wye and usk and the very helpful Allyson switched our booking to lower cannon bridge so many thanks for that.

Our first time at this beat for the two of us. A really beautiful stretch with an excellent choice of swims. I wanted to explore the whole stretch which takes some time and energy as it's a mile long! We did find some of the swims a bit snaggy but I guess thats just down to experience and knowing where not to cast. The swims further downstream tended to be less snaggy although less fishy as well!!! All fish caught on meat and one angler catching a few more than the other. I will definitely come back - travel light and explore the whole stretch again.
