A very wet days fishing. Tried several swims, not even a bite after 7 hours of fishing. Kayakers we're a bit of a pain too. Very limited fishing space when they are going up and down all day.

On the plus side a very picturesque location, and had a great day mob the less.

Also just to add. I have read people having problems getting back up the hill. And I can agree (when wet) very tricky in a two wheel drive car. Took several attempts to get back up.

On the plus side a very picturesque location, and had a great day nonetheless.

After nothing produced in the first swim I moved along the bank a bit, this proved much more productive with 5 chub and 2 barbel, mostly using luncheon meat ... sitting in the river fishing in shallows, as the previous day it was hard fishing but worthwhile .. there was a few canoes this day but I didn’t find them a problem they were al courteous and friendly, it’s standard on the wye

Float.

Canoeists every 3-7 minutes - so fishing pretty much pointless.

You should reference this on tour website - I wouldn't have booked if I had known.

Afternoon session. Spent an hour walking and exploring some swims without fishing. Constant rain from mid afternoon until 7ish . 2 chub caught in the evening after the rain had stopped.

Water temperature had cooled after heavy rain on days prior to fishing. Fished both the wooded area - close to car park - and half way down the meadow all to no avail. Nothing showing to either legered or float fished baits of all kinds. Anglers on bank opposite did not catch either. Pestered by young ducks diving for our baits in the wood area. Bottom there is covered with filamentous green-brown algae/weed which makes fishing bottom baits awkward at times. Will not bother again until there is a lot more water on, hopefully later in the year.

Had a lovely afternoon on this beat, despite the downpours. Good selection of swims and good amount of fish. Forgot my float rod which was a shame as the Guy the other side of the river was having what seem’d like a red letter day. Got snagged up a few times today, angler error, still learning. The track down was fine in a car, however getting back up after the downpours was tricky, ended up having to reverse up the track for better traction. Luckily I didn’t get stuck. Advise 4x4 when wet, will remember for next time.
