fished top end of beat in faster water below Foy Bridge beat. Water visibility greatly reduced from last week .
all fish came to feeder tactics with sweetcorn on the hook .

Brilliant days fishing on a fabulous stretch of the Wye. Great access right across the beat in your motor, well maintained pegs and loads of swim choice.

Had 7 barbel on Elips Pellets from the faster water at the top end, pulled out of 4 more due to poor angling (how do they always know when you're looking away, pouring coffee, doing Wordle...?) Also fished the deeper water after a break for lunch and lost count of the chub, chublets and dace (all on 4mm pellet).

Fast becoming my favourite stretch.

A lovely stretch of river. Combination of trees and pasture. 3 trout caught and many others missed on dry fly during an olive's hatch and spinner fall. The largest and most olives I have ever seen in my life of fly-fishing all over the world! Many were several inches long in the body and creamy coloured. www.flyfishingtheworld.blogspot.com

Fished river taff using worm, no fish caught.

Well, well, well, got to a disappointingly low edw at eleven bells ... thought it may be a bit refreshed from the few days rain we've had bit looks like it's dropped back to Sumner low ....again... I did a thermometer test anyway l, reading 11 degrees ....
Anyway, hard hard going today........ really slow, stealthy wading ..... which you have to do Anyway now as the average depth is probably a foot .... I worked a Para Iron Blue dry in the likely locations ..... some risers by mid day, just before a half hour downpour!!! Olives and a few mays still on the go ...still nice to have splashy aggressive takes..... and surprisingly two really tubby fish in the skinniest of water !!@ lovely job !!!
Still a lovely bear to mooch up .... five fish ...between seven and ten inches..... all to the Parachute dry , so really a fun three hours if I put it in perspective with such a low river.... ohhh point tj note for anglers, I've been informed by the girls in the garage @ E.T.James in Rhayader passed on from family who farms up there, the bull and resident beef cattle in the field are fine, no worries.... so the walk back was still with a Benny Hill pace on ....minus the music!!! Wellllll you can't beat a bit of bully hey !!! Lol ...........
A fun few hours .... back up on a solitary mountain Llyn tommorrow , then it looks like heavy rain for Rhayader Carnival day, on the saturday. Be aware anglers, Royal Welsh show the week after ... if you're fishing this way, be prepared for long queues !!anyway , happy days .... a few secretive hours on one of my favourites , sorted !!!!

River coloured and running with a bit of height. Slow going only 2 barbel but lots of chub. I always see reports about people catching an eel. Thought it was a myth until now.

A pleasant days fishing, we both settled into swims on Upper Sallys. We caught Chub to 4lb on both feeder and also trotting the float using meat and pellet. Unfortunately no Barbel were caught.
The drive to the hut around the edge of the field could be greatly improved if the tall grass in the middle of the track was cut back, at one point it was like driving through the grasslands of the Serengeti.
