Weather conditions good for the time of year with the river level slowly dropping. Tried meat and pellets but bites few and far between. Biggest Chub 4.5lb

First time on this beat and had to move around to find the fish. Finally started to catch in the afternoon on meat and lost a barbel due to a hook pull on my final cast. I think this beat would fish well in high water and the swims have been created with this in mind. Compared to some other beats the swims here have been fairly well maintained with steps and ropes, although they are pretty large swims.

It would help if parking was available at the lower end as a long walk with tackle from the parking area at the top. I'm not sure if we even found the lower boundary as we decided that it was just too far to contemplate lugging gear that far down.

Other than that this is a pretty good beat and very remote with a well maintained track that any car could easily cope with.

Low and clear for the time of year the barbel didn't seem to be feeding. The chub kept us entertained particularly in the evening when they started to rise. Casters and cheespaste were the successful baits. A ledgered pellet or boilie was treated with contempt. Great to be back by the Wye! Such a variety of wildlife including a Barn Owl at dusk.

A blank ! But what a beautiful stretch of river - a pleasure just to be out on it. Whatever nymphs I tried were either wrong or cast to the wrong place - my fault and hopefully I will come back.

Caught nothing and at 75 with disabilities every beat was too steep. No-one fault just one of those things

Another lovely warm day on the Wye. Both trotted maggots for some Chub action. Cold snap coming next week.

River low but lovely weather. All caught on small weighted PTN (size 16) fished upstream. Grayling to 3/4lb, one trout about 1lb. All released easily with barbless hooks - some released in the water without touching!
Lovely beat and definitely returning
