First blank on the Wye! Never fished this stretch before so did a lot of walking in the morning. The sky cleared up and temp plummeted in the afternoon so struggled. Did lose one fish, either a barbel that went over something sharp or a Pike (which I think is more likely). Also fell over, got chased by bullocks and impaled myself on a barb wire fence! Not the best day! Stretch looked interesting and varied but hard to relax with the curious cows and bullocks in the field.

Our first visit to this beat. We were unsure how far up the beat extends. Up past the wood?
AW decided that the gravel beach in the cattle field looked good for a wade and a spot of trotting, but cattle showed more interest than fish!
Despite flogging a number of swims in the bottom half of the beat from the orchard down we remained fishless, which was a real surprise and a disappointment as the beat seemed to promise much. It poured with rain most of the day, but river remained low and clear.

1st visit to this stretch, very impressed plenty of bank and swims to fish. River was rising and some areas difficult to fish, should have really caught more, not sure why. My mate lost a good fish from the bottom field, I fished the top section.
Will be coming back for another visit.
