Good ripple on the water and overcast. Trout feeding well, first time trout fishing for a 15 year old visitor and after a little instruction on the gravel of beat 4 he took 5 small trout and 1 chub all on traditional nymph. Well done!

One barbel at 6 1/2lb and saw 3 good salmon in the swim. Had a great time - fished from 10am untill 3pm and wished I had more time. Was sure I would catch more fish if I had been able to stay longer. Fished pellet for most of the day stitched to meat. Had 2 quick bites and one proper pull round.
Very pleased with the one fish as I haven't been able to get time off work for fishing. I will book again on a well looked after beat with good access and parking. Always good to fish on the Wye.

The place I had earmarked to fish was unfortunately occupied by campers and children with canoes on the far bank so I fished another couple of swims with no luck. River very low and in need of a good downpour!

The river was extremely low and clear with very little flow. We fished beat 5 with both ledger and float tactics with meat or pellet as hook bait. Only two of the four anglers caught chub of 4+ lbs each on the bomb. These were caught early in the day with evening fishing drawing a blank. What must be said is that the Bailiff (Terry Ward) could not be faulted in any way and definitely gets a 10 out of 10. We will return!

Very hot sunny day worked against us. One nice 4lb Chub on bread.

1 Chub

Overcast day with little rain, river very slow and clear.
We both tried pellet, paste, sweetcorn, meat and still unable to get many bite. All chub were caught on the float and were under 1 pound.

We fished on beat 3 close to the Salmon lodge as we were only fishing from 10am until 1pm as we had to make the trip home. I'm sure a few fish would have shown if we had fished into the evening. Another fantastic beat on the Wye, thanks to the Wye & usk for another great few days.

1 chub of 3lb 10oz caught late morning on luncheon meat.

Second visit to Whitney. Another lovely day on beat 2.
Had 3 small brownies all under a pound and my first ever grayling that made my day.
Water is low at moment. Not much rising. No sign of a salmon.
Great spot.

The river was low and clear and the fishing was difficult. One of us had a Barbel and I had three Chub, sadly the other angler blanked. Still, I can't think of a better location to have a blank so it wasn't all bad!
