Despite heavy rain during the previous night and the day of fishing, the river remained low and fishable. There are some great pools on this beat but it cannot be accessed fully from one parking position, unless you are willing to walk a long way on a slippery boulder & large stone bed. At higher water, you would definitely have to come from the bank and access from different locations. We fished the bridge and the pools above, on the bend. There were a variety of different size and colour olives around but the fish took small dark emergers and dry flies. Despite the weather being cold and damp, the fish did continue to rise for several hours. We stayed at the Highside campsite, which is only a few miles from the beat and close to Middleton in Teesdale. Small friendly site, excellent facilities. We will be back to the campsite & the beat.

Beautiful stretch. Access along top of river great for driving long. Some very steep pegs along top section. Water level very low at moment. Saw several barbel in deeper sections bu couldn’t catch. Caught some lovely chub up to 5lb 6oz…and 2 large eels. Will return when levels are up

13 Chub, 2 Other

Chubmania!!
A dozen fish from the fast water on a heavy Avon style float then moved near the steps and cast a 8gr pellet waggler over the far side for a fish every chuck for the last couple of hours.
Great to be back on the wye.
Thanks wuf.

River was low, could do with some rain. Barbel didn't show but Chub fed all day and kept us entertained, most fish in the
2.5 to 3lb. bracket, several 4s and one 5lb. fish. Fish taken on meat, pellet and the majority on trotted flake .

75 Chub

Only one angler fished another beautiful beat on the Wye and Usk passport although rather exspensive Ended up fishing lower end below suspension bridge caught nothing on feeder so switch to the float with immediate impact caught steadily dropping down stream to pick bigger fish Ended up free lining meat catching 18 chub to around 4lb

18 Chub

No catch, few nibbles with 10 second wrestle but aside from that, nothing going

Very good day fishing 4 fish caught 2 missed all on bottom

Lots of chub, taking the bait as soon as it hit the water. Lovely beat and is my favourite place to be. I'm back here in August with my daughter and I cannot wait.

Worried about the erosion of the upper fields which will make fishing them very difficult in the future. Field to the left of the steps had no bank access, there will only be a handful of safe fishable swims unless someone takes some action.

Canoeist very courteous apart from a group of paddle boarders who parked on the island and were not only loud but also threw large stones into the water behaving like children.
