Hot day today - reaching over 30 deg. so not a bad haul in the circumstances. Many of the fish were quite small but 5 trout and 1 grayling a 1/2lb or over and 2 of those (trout) about 1lb - so lovely fish. All caught on tight line nymphing techniques. We fished exclusively beside or just above the island at the bottom of the beat. We could not work out how to access the upper part as the pool in between on the right bank became quite deep even in these low water conditions. It would be a good idea to have a pathway through (the brush and undergrowth made the bank area impassable for access to the upper part of the beat). And some clearer instructions on access to the beat as a whole would be really helpful. As with much of the river Wye in that area its a brilliant place to spend the day fishing. Just need a bit more access to this particular beat.

15 Trout, 2 Grayling

Fished from 5pm until 8-30pm due to hot weather 1 chub of about 3lb and a 9lb 6oz barbel luncheon meat and ground bait feeder.

Fished early and late to avoid the heat of the day.Three nice Barbel around 8-9 lbs from the same swim and some decent Chub.Really like this beat and am looking forward to returning in the future.

Very hot, water level very low, both didn't help at all! That's river fishing I guess

Very low and clear. Had a 4lb chub immaculate condition. Very enjoyable day

Difficult as yesterday. One or two fish going up. Finally found the fish and lost two, first on a drowned dry, second on a nymph chucked into the froth. Big heavy headshakes threw the hook the first time. Second time the same solid headshakes and then I'm almost giving line and the fish comes up - it's a proper one - swings across and plunges away while I faff around with the net and then this big brown trout - probably not as big as I first thought but big, big for here - comes up from under this step in the rock and the hook pops and I swear very very loudly.

Lowest I’ve ever seen it?
