Was hoping for a bit more water after midweek rain but still looking pretty low. Most fish holding in the deeper pools and easily spooked. Managed 8 with the Tenkara rod and mixture of nymph and traditional Tenkara flies.

Great beat, turning is tight and you need to be careful on entering and leaving due to the fast road. Lots of swims to choose from and we fished the wooded areas.

Swims are well kept and maintained, I don't like fishing where there are steps and pontoons to fish from and prefer the more natural looking beats. First time at this beat since 2017 and I will be back, not sure why I left it so long. It was the end of 3 days superb fishing on the Wye.

Other fish was an eel of just under a pound.

2x 6lb Barbel caught on normal feeder tactics through the morning session. Trotted the afternoon session in the upstream portion with a couple of small chub caught. Was joined in the river by an Otter whilst wading which was good to see.

Considering the recent rises in water have been only a couple of inches, I was amazed at the colour of the river. The margins are clear in the slacks, but the river bed is covered in brown silt and the main river is carrying a lot of silt and is a dirty brown colour.

First time at this beat. I found it was over grown with steep banks and barb wire fencing so being a senior it was to dangerous to carry on sliding down the banks and having to crawl out . so had to call it a day it’s a shame you can’t have a look at the beats before you book

None caught today not even a bite

no fish to day
