I really struggled with this beat. Despite following the directions and locating the points it describes for access it was mainly way to deep to wade. I'm 6' and wearing chest waders I could not wade in all but a couple of places. Because the banks are so steep it is difficult to cast without getting into the water. It seems that the right bank is much better suited alas this is not part of the beat. The river was only 12" on the Fownhope gauge and wading at Goodrich Court 5 days earlier with no rain since was no problem at all. I managed to cast from some submerged cribs and [deep] gravel runs but could not cast into the most promising looking sections.
No fish seen or hooked.

Fished a 2" Black&Yellow tube on a 15ft 7ips tip and really enjoyed the beat. Didn't have a take nor see a fish, but gained much-needed casting practice in great surroundings.

Arrived early morning prior to sunrise & very high tide. On high tide the river lifted 1' right up to Cadora pool, saw a couple of rolling fish on the tide but unable to fish for them with the fly. Waited an hour after high tide then resumed fishing.
Fished until 2pm had 1 small Trout. Throughout the morning the river continued rising bringing with it lots of leaves, logs and debris.
Pretty disappointing end to a very disappointing season on the Wye.
