Nice day except for the gusty upstream wind,temperature good for this time of the year so plenty of hatches,mainly upwings. 2 small WBT caught on a size 18 cdc emerger and made
all the more enjoyable as they were taken on a fabulous Luke Bannister cane rod! Perfect for a river like this and already looking forward to next year!

We appreciated that we were making the most of the superb autumn weather by fishing on the Wye and catching 6 barbel to 7lb 12oz and 11 chub from the lower end of the beat was a bonus. River getting very low and in need of rain, how's that for spoiling things?

7 Barbel, 11 Chub

Conditions unchanged, 2 fished the wood area and landed 1 barbel of 8.4, on pellet. The other 2 were more successful on the lower section landing 3 barbel of 4.8, 7.4 and 7.12,
on pellet, with 2 barbel and one chub lost in snags.
A difficult day in the wood but, again, very enjoyable.

12lbs to Andrew Holloway and 11lbs to Maurice Hudson,both very stale cock fish

A blank day. Fished various dries, terrestrials, over the mid day period. Never mind, wonderful weather for the time of year!

My annual pilgrimage to the upper Wye on a beautiful, golden autumn day found the river low and quite clear. This is a beat I have not fished before and was surprised at the easy access. In saying that, however, great care is needed when wading over the rounded, slimy stones before reaching gravel bars from whence casting is easier. I had an impromptu bath and bruised my arm so beware! I found fish in the white water fishing across and down with black spiders. I did not have any luck elsewhere using klink and dink or dry fly. Nonetheless it would be difficult not to enjoy this majestic river and its environs and I'll be back next year for more of the same.

A beautiful day to be on the river, and 6 brownies to hand all between 10 and 12". The water level was low and clear but fish were showing now and again for most of the day. Took the first fish on an Olive Klink in the faster water but the rest were with a Waterhen Bloa fished high in the surface film to trout sipping in the small surface flies trickling down the beat.

A gorgeous day on the river, slow till the afternoon. Barbel on meat and pellet from top and bottom meadow, Chub from wooded area on meat. Best Barbel 1 x 9lb. 1 x 9.4lb.
1 x 10.6lb (2 fish for 20lb.well done Wilf)!! Best Chub 1 x 3.12lb. 1 x 4.6lb. 1 x 4.8lb, which he thought was a Barbel(So did I)!!
Disappointing to see metal food containers & drink cans in the wooded area, come on guys, you will be the first to moan if it's closed to coarse fishing. An Otter and a couple of Cormorants in the bottom of wooded area.

6 Barbel, 4 Chub

Started well with an early 8lb barbel, but hot, bright conditions and a dropping river soon slowed things down. We fished into dusk with no further action. A nice beat with good access; will almost certainly be back when there's some fresh water and a bit less sunshine!

1 Barbel

Fished the morning until 12.30 on the bottom half of the beat. Six trout of 8 to 14" all on emergers. Some risers, some not. Water pretty low at 0.12m on the Llanddewi guage.
