First time on this beat and we were really impressed by it. There's a lot of well maintained swims to chose from.
We arrived at the same time as the other three anglers who were booked into this beat. They knew exactly which swims they wanted to fish and this left us with the choice of the remainder to select from. We started at the upstream end but despite them looking good for a few fish, we struggled for bites.
Taking the opportunity to have a walk along the whole of the beat we found a couple more swims towards the downstream end which looked good and we could see that there were plenty of Chub present.
Relocating to these swims we had high hopes of a good late afternoon and evening session. The weather though had other ideas and took a turn for the worse and after a couple of hours of sticking it out we decided that a steak and pint was a more attractive option than continuing to get wet.
I'm not sure that we particularly did this fabulous looking venue justice on the day and we will certainly be back in the future.

The end of an enjoyable and productive week on the Wye and the Usk with most time spent at Ty Newydd. Plenty of fly life and fish caught on a variety of dries and nymphs.

Could not fish as I could not find a safe place to get to water’s edge. The One place near end of pear tree avenue but needed a rope to make sure didn’t fall in as it was very lose. Very disappointing so left without a single cast.
