Again thanks to owner for great access - probably the best on the books. Not the access track though - which is now in a different position than on the w and u map. Access track is a deeply rutted track with thick grass between. I wouldn't risk it with anything other than a 4x4.

Fish just up of the well fished bottom pool for 4 chub on the meat feeder during a short morning session. No bites on pellet. Had to leave early - not my choice as the plan was to fish the fastest water at the top boundary as fish seem to be in the shallow fast water this time of year. Hooked a dogged mystery fish when the rig dropped off the rod end in shallow water while unhooking a chub. Was fishing double 8mm pellet on a band and one must have stayed on. The only thing I could think off as it slipped the hook was a foul hooked pike. Wish I had seen it.

ps why can't redbank anglers use the same track for cars at it goes right past their downstream stile access?

2nd day on the bottom pool. Some nice chub today to 5lb along with small barbel to same size. Had 2 canoeists walk a sunken boat through the swim lol. I told them they were supposed to get in it but they didn't see funny side.

Lovely height, no wind and warm.
The "Rectory Ghost" pulled a fish in the tail of the spring pool on a Bann Shrimp.
Returned later in the evening and it ignored a bann, a cascade and a francis but came to a 3" sunray with a boil....but no connection. Despite waiting and trying other sizes of sunray he couldn't move it again.
It will still be there until a rise!
Few trout showing but non stuck on.
Nice evening.

Another great day on the Wye.
The steep access footpath down to the river still proves challenging but aside from that, very enjoyable.
