Nil catch. No fish seen. Hot sunny weather. Nice fly water on top 400m of beat.

Stunningly beautiful stretch of water. Some interesting wildlife seen and sparse hatch of large stoneflies. Massive grannom hatch early on, but only the odd fish popping up to the surface. Lost two good fish, but landed no fish between us. Again water extremely low which did not help, but who cares when the scenery and river are looking so magnificent???

I will fish this beat again in the autumn when there is more water around as I am sure it has a lot of potential.

Beautiful day for fishing but just managed 1 trout of about 6 ounces and lost a smaller one. Caught on a gold head PTN, just below the weir.

Some grannom about, but no great response from the fish. Cought 2 grayling, the best just over a pound, both to a dry fly.

Much less in the way of insects hatching but still a few fish rising in some areas. GB - 2, VC - 1. The fish were a good size 2lb +. Picnickers on the bank, stick throwing dog walkers and another angler fishing the right bank did not help the cause.

Nothing landed, one hooked and lost, a couple missed. There were great numbers of large dark olives and grannoms (I think) but few fish rising. This is not the best beat for a sunny weekend afternoon. There were dogs being swum in the river and a large barbecue party on the bank, complete with swimmers and a rubber dinghy!

Very nice looking beat but again water was low and very clear with not many fish showing in the morning. in the afternoon fish started rising and took 2 x 12" brown on dry greenwells.

Stayed over night at Tan House Farm, high recommended. Weather was warmer than previous day, though still no rising fish. Caught 6 Brown 6 -9" and lost 1 somewhat larger. All caught on PTN or GRH in the faster runs.

6 small trout and 1 out of season grayling, nothing much over 8ozs, good fun though and a perfect weather until the thunder arrived in the afternoon. Fished New Zealand syle with all fish falling to the nymph. Only one take on the klinkhammer which I missed.

No fish caught between the 3 us.
A very pleasant day was had by all,the weather was warm & sunny, not necessarily good for fishing.
One of us had a fish'on' for a minute but it then decided it didn't like the taste of the fly so then spat it out.
The Wye valley is a beautiful valley, the river was maybe a bit low,but it was worth it.
I live a two hour drive away ( N,Devon )close enough for a day trip so hopefully I'll be back soon.
Finally the foundations service/website is second to none regarding the service information.

Thankyou,
