Great day at Whitney Court. All fish were caught using feeder tactics. River was slightly up on previous week after some recent rain.

Small fish came to stick float mainly, nothing over 1lb , shame the lower peg are so overgrown compared with 2 years ago , unable to fish, this would have given us the opportunity to fish the deeper water

3 anglers actually fishing, Low water levels on arrival but rising a couple of inches over the day from previous rains. Disappointed to find half the beat has no bank swim access to fish. Our first visit to the Wye for thee days.

Always thought todays fishing would be hard after the rain the night before but as this is 1 of my favourite beats I decided to give it a go.

On arriving I decided to fish the top of the beat as I’ve not spent much time there in the past. It was tough going first thing as the water was a chocolate browns but I persevered on. After a few hours the river clear a little and as I fished my way back down the beat I connected with the first fish. Not a monster by any means but a nice tug on the line. I then continued down and managed 2 reasonable trout from the slower water below the White House.
A great day that shows little prospect after the heavy rain yesterday evening.
