Another bright clear day with the river still low and clear. However we were catching fish within seconds of casting with 3 barbel coming to my rod in the first 3 casts but as always after an astonishing start things slowed down and we ended the day with a total of 7 barbel and 6 chub - (best fish at over 8lb). All fish came to either meat or pellet.

Wonderful day, we had fished these beats during the 90's so quite a nostalgic trip! and my husband remembers meeting Mr Pashley Just one point the turning to the gate is 2.3 miles from the Prince of Wales pub ata little triangle in the road.

12lb freshish salmon on Tyr Celyn at 12.35pm

Perfect day, fished a windless sunny morning downsteam opposite the pylon. Barbel every where, caught eight fish on meat to 7lbs between 8am and 10am which is a personal best for me. Track not a problem. Thanks WUF.

Good salmon lost in the neck of rectory pool at 11am. Only fish all day.

Nil catch.

First time on this beat and very impressed. Varied, challenging water and great scenery. Lost a decent fish in Rock pool at 8am and saw another fish move in Rectory but nothing except a half pound trout caught. Looking forward to returning next Tuesday.

3 very small fish taken on Gold Head Pheasent tail and 1 nice fish hooked but lost on dry fly. About half a dozen rises spotted, fished from 1pm until 6pm.

A water was low and clear and bright sunshine made it hard going but winkled out 3 between 7" to 10" plus the obligatory misses and escapees, all to a Klinkhammer
A few olives in the day coming off and some spinner in the evening. Picking up rocks revealed lots of immature nymphs and good numbers of fry so all seems well!

x2 4lb+ Chub and 6 Barbel, 2 low 8's, a high 7, and 3 others, one of which was a bit special. It's been a while since visiting here, and good to see the 8 foot high bankside foliage under control now with just knee-high nettles. So you can make access as you go and there are several good swims with sensibly placed wooden steps and posts, some hiiden by the nettles. Congratulations WUF on the work done. The withdrawal of the complete casino that is the top pools previously available on the beat where I've lost a fortune in feeders is no dissapointment as focus can be set to the extensive stretch of prime Middle Wye that remains. The final spot of a roving session produced just one bite, though from my 4th Wye double at 10lbs exactly, a real battler to the net and more. A fine end to an evening on a really fine beat.
