First time on this stretch of the Wye, what a fantastic beat. Walked the entire bank and fished the croy at the top of the beat first, 2 barbel largest 8lb 8oz. Fished several of the main swims picked up three more barbel all around 6lb. Feeder with pellet or meat accounted for all the fish. Two chub and a lost barbel in the second to last swim near the parking lay-by ended a great day.

The river looked promising today having cleared a little more since yesterday.No salmon caught or seen though. Still, a lovely autumn day to be on beat.

15lb cock salmon for Charlie Newington-Bridges from the Mill Stream on a small cascade tube. Beautiful day, perfect water and an obliging fish. Thank you WUF!

Returning to the beat after some 20 years and still as beautiful on a sunny October day with river clear and quite full. Fished dries only and had half a dozen really top quality grayling - best a super 2.5lb. Also bonus out of season trout (2 of which a pound each).

4 Trout, 6 Grayling

Still spinning water today unfortunately, and not apparently dropping at all although possibly clearing very slightly during the day. Fished with an intermediate line, sinking leader and a variety of showy flies. One good fish showed in the middle of Maddox at around half two, otherwise uneventful.

A couple of fish hooked on the klinkhammer but not landed. Otherwise no response at all to nymphs and spiders.

Bottom worming.
