Now that is a day I call hard work! 3 of us fishing from noon to 7pm and 1 trout caught at 18.55!! (About 1/2lb)
But can you really call fishing "hard work"? Not really - fantastic location and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

We fished all tactics, nymph, wet, dry and combos. Started to see some rises about 6pm but they were very shy - several rising to a fly and not taking. It was a very bright and hot day. I was pleased to see a good flow of water despite the relatively dry conditions over the past few weeks.

Only 1 rod of 2 fished for a couple of hrs, 2x wbt, 2x grayling all from grayling steel blue. Beat as stunning as usual, a nice chat with owner.

Another new beat for me making use of the WUF's excellent waters. A lovely sunny day, on an excellent and varied river. Caught a small wild brown nearer the top of the beat, drifting a iron blue parachute across a slower moving section. Later in the day, caught three excellent sized Grayling all on the dry near to the bottom of the beat right outside the hut. A wonderful day in beautiful surroundings. Can't wait to return.

1 Trout, 3 Grayling

River in reasonable order. Caught the fish on a GRQ, Black Pennell and Greenwell's Glory and dry sedges towards the end of the evening.

Would probably fish better with more water, but I managed a few - trout small today but grayling good size. Also a couple of parr. Lovely beat thank you - things like the sign for the car parking spot are much appreciated, and with clear paths and benches this must be one of the most accessible beats on the Upper Wye. Wading still tricky in places of course!

First time ever on the river but the conditions weren’t favourable as it was so very, verylow and bright. Some parts were just like a wide canal!
Fished from 1pm and hardly saw a fish rise all day but stuck it out till evening. There was definitely a bit more activity after 7pm but I had to leave at 8pm, but had a few takes in some faster water at the top of the beat on a dry sedge and hooked a good fish but the hook pulled.
Nevertheless it’s definitely a beat that is a joy to fish and I will return to when the river levels improve.

Weather was cloudy with some drizzle early on but improved as the day went on. A lovely stretch of water and I think the little bit of rain this week had freshened it up a bit. 1 nice trout of over a pound was caught on a nymph.
