Two hours fishing. Not bad until the rain. This spot has a nice population of salmon parr.

3 Trout

We had brillant weather at the start of the day, sunny intervals. However it did rain for most of the afternoon which switched the fish off. A great time was had by all. The five rods did not catch a trout of over one pound. Nevertheless were kept busy with fish of 5-8 inches. The wining combination was a weighted black GRHE sz14 on the point with a small spider pattern on a dropper 3 foot higher.
There was a problem with a group camping alongside the Ciliau run on the east bank. They were fishing when we arrived and has a large Canadian style canoe which they paddled up and down the beat. This was reported to W&UF.
We camped at Trericket Mill near the beat.

River very low and clear. Fished cage feeder ground bait and pellet, sweetcorn and meat, some small taps but only one proper fish, a chub of 4lbs from the end swim on near bank. some chub seen near Foy Bridge but no barbel.
I will be back hopefully when the river is orange!

1 Chub

River very clear and low throughout. The Early start was the best chance with a few good sized chub and a couple of 7 lb barbel in superb condition, taken in the fast water at the tail of beat 6. Only one other rod booked in and 3 miles of water.

2 Barbel, 6 Chub

Caught one trout on Dry Hopper. Most rises were too far to cover from bank. Also fished nymphs with no offers. Time for a boat I think!!

Very enjoyable despite much needed rain. 3 good size chub but alas no barbel. Great help from Terry who runs the fishery. Thank you.

3 Chub

I fished from 1.00pm - 9.30pm, unfortunately the second rod had to cancel. Initially a bit of a struggle in very low water and bright sunshine, but I donned the chest waders and found the shoals of barbel underneath far bank trees. Caught steadily enough through the afternoon and added another 7 or so in a manic last hour to finish with 16 Barbel. Another enjoyable day, thanks.

16 Barbel, 16 Chub

We turned up on this beat on Friday the 26 July, walked the whole beat. The Foundation sold us three permits and were unable to fish as there are only two fishable pegs there. I phoned the Wye and Usk Foundation and they said you might have to go through the brambles or bushes to fish. That's not a good enough answer when your paying twenty pounds per person to fish! The whole beat is overgrown. We fished Lower Hill Court on the previous Wednesday and we all caught barbel and chub, in tough conditions.

WUF note - We encourage anglers to read the catch returns for a beat before booking as there is a great variation in the types of beats available and the condition of the banks and bank side vegetation. Some anglers prefer the wild style of fishing and having to cut their own swims where as other anglers prefer ready made swims and better managed bank side vegetation.
