1 x Grayling which was returned. Caught on a Grey Wulff.

Another fantastic beat on what was probably not the most productive day, as it was bright sunshine all day long, although not complaining! 15 Barbel to 9lb 8oz and 1 chub. We stayed at the Cottage of Content and had a great time, Thanks again W&UF!

First ever day Barbel fishing (generally go trout / salmon fishing) and the guys in the the fishing shop in Ross gave sound advice! 11 barbel landed and a few lost on swim fed hallibut pellet, to 8lbs with several over 5 lbs. Relentless canoes all day but didn't appear to affect the feeding fish so not a problem. Will be back, but doubt conditions will be so perfect every time

A beautiful day. Nil catch.

2 Barbel, 7and 9lb and one chub 4lb. The canoe problem is just so bad that its difficult to fish the water at all between 10am and 4pm.

Nice sunny day with slight breeze. River low and slightly stained. Fished a Copper John with indicator. One 5" WBT downstream of the river and 3 more upstream in one pool. Missed a couple of takes. Did not see another soul entire day. WUF's directions to the beat are spot on.

Lovely day and river in good condition but bites hard to come by. Ended on three barbel between us, the best 7lb 6oz. A disappointing return for the amount of effort but at least M got his first Wye barbel.

Sunshine and cloud, river clear with plenty of water.
13 wbt (5" to a handsome specimen of 14") and 3 grayling (9" - 12") all safely returned. Not a day for the dry fly aficionado with very few fish rising. Although the big brownie did take an emerger pattern. I have fished this beat on many occasions and it reveals another secret time and time again. I think it's quite daunting for the less experienced angler but the more you work it out the better it gets. GRHE (sorry I know that's a really unimaginative pattern) was undoubtedy the fly of the day, fished on the point with a Spider dropper and was deadly at the tail of some of the deeper pools.
Really pleased to end my last trip of the season on such a high. Thank you as ever to WUF for making this quality of fishing accessible to all.

After a misty start the weather turned quite hot and the fishing suffered, either that or my fishing skills are to blame, probably the latter! Anyway on two rods caught a monster of a chub while my 14 year old son caught a barbel and another large chub. Beautiful surroundings and a very enjoyable day - thank you WUF.

I blanked on the day was getting bites but kept missing them. I was in a slower swim upstream, a very warm day.
