Always good to be beside the wye but being a new beat to us it's a bit of a learning curve. Well maintained beat with very easy directions & access, and no real 'gear lugging' necessary. Being sociable we started off 2pmish at a peg below the middle of the beat which would accommodate us both. Bit of a mistake as we were on a concealed ,inside bend & every convoy of canoes came round the overhanging willows & straight into our lines.; There were a LOT of canoes ... I suppose to be expected in the holiday period. This coupled with the fact we lost all our terminal tackle every other retrieve prompted a move up to the top of the beat where the Vikings could see us in advance & most were polite & paddled to the far side. Not that it did us any good as we had only one bite just as we had decided to call it at 7pm
Anyone who's tried to unhook an eel will sympathise when I say we wish we'd left 5 minutes earlier; Anyway she swam off none the worse.
I can see that a lot of work is put into running this beat , so thank you for that & the opportunity to fish it.
We will do better next time.

2 anglers blanked, other angler had 1 barbel and 8 chub near the island. Lots of canoes ( some just don’t care ) and kept heading for the fishing lines. Beautiful stretch of river, shame the fishing was a bit slack.

River low and clear, conditions overcast till midday then mostly bright sunshine for the afternoon. All fish taken mid-river on feeder fished pellet. Every fish newly minted and in pristine condition.
