Monday 10 October, 10-30 am 6 lbs cock fish from the tall top croy, shrimp fly just after the mist lifted. 100+ Geese on the stubble in the field opposite the fishing hut, no canoes, no walkers, other fish seen below the bridge, a very good day out.

River low and clear and the weather was beautiful. Mild with blue skies and light winds. We fished the entire length and picked up fish to 1.5lb throughout. No big shoals but ones and twos here and there. Lovely day.

We caught one Barbel of around 3lb and 5 Dace. The conditions were overcast and slightly chilly with a lot of canoeists about.

River was low and clear running on a warm and slightly overcast evening. A very short session in the end, late in the day but rewarded with a 12'' Grayling in lovely condition, took a barbless Klinkhammer on a slow drift in one of the smaller pools, lots of fish rising, and missed a few other takes. Access is a little difficult in places. Quiet and peaceful beat with a friendly resident Kingfisher, if only the Lower Lugg was this clean.

First time fishing the Wye had a fantastic day, all fish caught on pellet and ground bait feeder caught from lunch time onwards with a lull about 3. Had 2 barbel at 8lb 4 around 6lb 2 at 5lb and one around 4lb; chub from 4lb to 2 1/2 lb. A great day as I've never caught barbel before. Will be back again, lovely place to be and fish. Water was clear.

9 Barbel, 3 Chub

Fished here again on Sunday as a guest of Shaun. Also fished some of Richards beat upriver. Many thanks both to Shaun & Richard ! River quite low and clear. Started with the French leader and nymphs up at Bend pool, 5 oos trout and 1 grayling from here. Worked our way steadily down the beat, taking fish on nymphs, and occasionally dries when some were spotted rising. Did not fish the whole beat, stopped where Shaun has done some work improving the flow on the far side - this has worked well too ! as we took 5 good sized grayling and Shaun had a 2lb + trout here. Moving upriver to Richards beat - very impressed with the mix of water types here too, took more good sized grayling, and a few trout too. Finished off when poor light made detecting takes difficult. Another brilliant day on 2 fantastic beats, many thanks again guys. Total prob around 35 / 40 trout & grayling to 2lbs+.
