Very low water, very clear! I caught only one trout, but had a nice day :)

Slow start to the day, some barbel still spawning but good to be sitting next to the beautiful Wye. Barbel turned on mid afternoon with 12 caught fairly quickly plus an eel. Many thanks WUF.

Fished late afternoon and evening water level had not changed, still very low. Barbel to 6lb Chub to 6lb 2oz on pellet.

A poor start to the day at Titley Bridge, unable to fish more than a few yards due to fallen tree with no way round. Attempted to re enter water further upstream but overgrowth too thick to penetrate. Restarted further down stream, greatly improved. Two trout caught, both rising fish 7in and 12 in. Water very low. An enjoyable days fishing.

Quite a long beat with some substantial sized pools but tricky wading in places. Several decent sized fish and a few salmon showing but only managed two small trout and larger one of about 1lb all on small PT nymphs. Very little in the way of obvious fly life even in the evening but interestingly a substantial hatch took place at the top of the beat (also last pool in Ty-Newyyd) but to get to this part you have to drive to the other side of the river and by the time I got there it was over (getting to this section looks like it might be a scramble from the road but theres a very easy path once you've crossed the stile). PLEASE PLEASE thank whoever looks after this beat for cutting the vegetation back to keep the path alongside the river so tidy and accessible. It was a joy not to have the usual assault course and a decent path really helps when carrying gear around.

Trout seemed to appreciate the cooler conditions, the heavy rain in the afternoon did not put them off. Prospected with a small para adams and rose fish in most of the runs. Landed 15 and missed as many, though I think these were mainly small. Most fish 6 to 9", a couple might have made 4", but a couple went to 11", very feisty in the clear water. Lovely sunny evening rounded off the day beautifully.

First time on this fantastic looking fishery. Walked the beat first and chose two areas to try out. First one screamed barbel but after an hour nothing to show. Colin the bailiff turned up and advised us to move so it was in to our second choice area and what a difference. The feeders were bombarded by chub and decent sized ones to over five pounds. The barbel couldn't get a look in. Changed to bomb and pellet and that helped a little to lessen the chub bites. Four barbel came to pellet with two more on rolled meat.
Today's wildlife included mayflies hatching, kingfisher and a mink.

A ridiculous amount of fun with a 6ft #3 rod. Hats off to those fishing recently who've got double digit hauls, it's hard going down in the gorge. I was pleased with three - two on a elk hair caddis and a very respectable 9" fish on a beadhead PTN while straddling a tree trunk.
