Well its gotta be a fishing day on a Friday !! Cut all the hedges last night so was well in credit for fishing time lol !!!! Opted for the Whittern beat again , overcast but warm when I bowled up at nine , a nice day and again opted for only a tiny Parachure iron blue , did the business again , oh and I also had two in the glides on an eighteen f fly !! Lovely solid takes!!

River is freshened up, but the rain wasn't enough to effect levels ,.looked last night Titley gauge back down to.17 !!! But water was clear as gin and running running nicely to be honest . .

Seven to the net during my four hour session ,.and I did do some of the Lyonshall wood section too!! Otter prints in the mud for a good way up passed second Bridge !! Tarka been busy it seems !! Two of my fish were crackers one maybe twelve inches another eleven.ish !!! The others between eight and ten !Still lovely fat Arrow beauties . . .

Kingfishers busy all morning , and i think I counted seven sightings of grey squirrels!! Gggrrrrrrrrr !!!Anyway as always a fun four hours sport , will squeeeeeeeeeze the Edw in next week in between work !! A bit more rain would be good next week too !! Off home and a nice cold cider me thinks !! Ahhhhhh . . . Well earned !!!

Only one bite on a hit and bright daŷ. Lovely barbel weighing 8 pounds 2 ounces.

This beat must be one of the most scenic on the middle Wye

Just one angler fished all day as others couldn’t make it due to health reasons.
Had 2 eels and a barbel just under 10lb. Luncheon meat definitely attracted the eels. Must have seen over 200 canoes but they were all polite and courteous for a change! They stopped after 3pm. Fishing was tough but still a good beat and look forward to fishing it again when a little more water running through.

No luck today. River down and water clear. No Salmon seen.

Quite a quiet day Trout wise. As we came away, just before 5pm, we saw a rise starting. Weather dry and with sunny intervals and little wind, almost perfect conditions but no luck.

Dabbled with the salmon rod but soon switched to a trout rod with 9’’ on the gauge and tea coloured water.
There seemed to be lot of Grayling in the beat today.
Fished duo combinations with most of the fish to a 14 GRHE and a few to an Adam’s.
None of the trout, bar one, were of any size, but the Grayling included two lovely specimens of 2 1/2- 3lb from the cottage pool. All safely returned.
Overcast cooler conditions and a nice peaceful days fishing.

Great looking water, looked a bit fresher and with a bit more water on than a few weeks back on our last visit to the Wye.
Fished the top end of the beat in the morning, a good Chub landed first then a barbel of 6lb 10oz two further barbel hooked and lost. A number of smaller chub landed. Most taken on sweetcorn.
The other fish was a big dace on meat.
Moved to the other end of the beat mid afternoon and caught a good number of chub up to 1lb one decent fish hocked and lost. Slightly strange day, out of practice ?
