Didn't fish, the snow was closing in and it would have been pointless travelling.

The two of us had the whole beat to ourselves on this beautiful Autumnal day and the river was in good flow with good colour. The fishing all happened in the first hour and then went quiet, but it was such a beautiful day it was a joy to be by the river. We both fished swim feeders with maggot and pellets and also trotted maggot as we searched for the fish. I look forward to coming back

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.
