Not go on the trout today. Managed one tiny fish on a small emerger

Great way to end the season. All fish caught on an emerger pattern, on a beautiful day in a beautiful location. I kept moving all day, fishing throughout the beat.

DC & GC tried an afternoon/evening session on this beat but have to say it was a disappointment. There was only one place where any fish were rising and both came from the one spot. The beat is difficult to fish with not many nice runs, also the bracken is high and makes casting and walking along the waters edge hard. We both felt the cost for this beat is a little on the high side, especially when comparing it to other Wye beats that offer more.

Unfortunately only had time to fish for about 3 hours in the afternoon in the end so just tried the top end of the beat. Managed to tempt a couple of nice trout on spiders but it was fairly hard going, overcast and windy and not much rising. Nice to back here again though even if my day was short.

Day started slow and made my way to the lowest half of the beat. Had a full pulls and tugs but didn't manage to set. Sat on the bank for a bit to watch the water and saw a otter on the far bank which was a treat.

Moved up to the top of the beat and my luck changes with the fish all fought on small drys (size 16 f fly) in the huddle lines

Great day

Excellent directions from the trust! A beautiful stretch of the Wye in the heart of spectacular surroundings.
I have always wanted to fish this beat. Mixed weather from rain to sun and sun to rain. Plenty of water.
Virtually no hatches, did not witness a single rise, sip. Or sight of a fish.
The trouble is it looks "so fishy ", with great pools, rolling riffles and foaming pocket water.
I was beginning to wonder if there were any fish at all in this river?
Tried every tactic from nymphing to dry to wet. Not a nibble! very disappointing day after such a long drive.
Is it overfished, is it the time of year I asked myself or my incompetence? Probably the latter!
I still loved being there in the solitude with the hills all around me and will try it again.
Never say die!

We have used dries and nymphs. Most of the fishes we caught on sedge flies. No fish taken.
Thanks
