What a day! Mick the guide for the beat took me straight to the fish and following his instruction on tip, leader and fly. I landed a 12lbs cock fish slightly coloured, what a fight. All day I kept getting shad on salmon flies. To cap a great day I had a fresh sea lice salmon about 8lb on spinner. I asked Mick to have a fish and he landed a lovely salmon on fly about 9lb. Mick is a star and knows the beat like the back of his hand. Thanks Mick I will be back.

No fish seen or caught, very disappointing. Not find the Wye value for money given the amount of fish in the system.

There is a sign at what appears to be an old car park warning you not to proceed by vehicle - so I left my car there - only to find the actual car park is further round - no other signs so very confusing. The end of beat yellow topped post remained a mystery - couldn't find it. There appear to be old signs around - not particularly helpful. Overall, could be a lot better marked/signposted.

Few fishing showing Mick showed me so new runs that held fish but none took.

River at 0.2m on EA Ross gauge after long steady drop and water at 56°F. River was the lowest I’ve seen at this time of year – 2ft below stone walkway along the Maddox / Vanstone. First rain showers for a couple of weeks overnight dirtied the water slightly and gave a 2” lift during the day. Fished floating line, ½” black silver tubes and #8 shrimps. Several 10-15lb size fish jumped / rolled in the neck and further down Vanstone Pool repeatedly throughout the day – but I could not tempt them.
