River at about 0.75m on the NRW Erwood Gauge and about 15 deg on the WUF gauge. So a little higher and cooler than of late but still on the low side. Fished a variety of nymphs, either under a dry fly or straight lined. Had to cover a lot of water to find the odd fish. 2 trout and 3 grayling all caught on nymphs, all between about 10" and 13". Lost a slightly better grayling at the net. A few pale olives about but did not see a single fish rise. Did see a cormorant at the bottom of the beat.

Didn’t fish
Looked like a wash off on the webcam.

Second visit for the weekend as there is enough water to play with. Only 1 small trout on trad wet flies and a monster chub on tight line nymphing which took a size 14 Red tag. This was my third chub from the Wye but was my PB at 3lb+ and just about fitted into the net. Was in great condition and was returned safely. Day was made easier with pre-tied casts - Rig Winders purchased from Angling Active. Saved the day and a great way to store your casts when finished. Also had a surprise air show from a WW2 fighter flying over head at 2.30pm, all white with a red nose.

Weather helped with a overcast sky but of course river in need of water. Regardless of this enough water to play with and Ciliau Falls & Ciliau Run fishable. Hooked and lost two good fish on trad wet flies on the swing. Only managed a Salmon Parr which saved a blank. A lot of green weed in shallows so be careful.

Another hard day with low water, bright sunshine and minimal fly life. Managed to winkle out 3 small trout from the streamier sections on nymphs (black perdigon & the ever faithful copper john) and a chublet on dry fly.

No fish this time but what an amazing place to spend a summer evening.
Beat was easy to access and offered mixed waters to keep the fishing interesting.
I will definitely recommend and be back.

1 beautiful small salmon parr late on as sun was setting at top of beat where cletwr joins the wye - returned straight away happily darted off. Wet fly. Even though had rain earlier water was low with very little colour. Plenty of decent sized trout rising / jumping later on as well.

Very few fish moving and only two rises noticed in the time I was there . Never seen the wye so low and could see every stone on the river bed the whole length of the beat .

No rises all morning. All 5 fish caught on duracell nymph. All fish returned.
