First visit to the Wye and what a great place. Caught a nice barbel first cast and had steady action through the day finishing with 8 barbel to 6 or 7lb (3 lost)and 21 chub to 3 and a half to 4lb between the 3 of us despite a low clear river. The only dissapointing thing was thinking that we had the beat to ourselves and learning that the land owner has a list of people he lets fish and a couple turned up, but all in all a fantastic day thank you wuf.

(WUF note - the Backney owner allows friends to fish too. We cannot therefore guarantee exclusivity to WUF rods although there should still be plenty of swims to choose from.)

Lovely surrounding and great bit of river, warm sunshine and light winds so wasnt expecting much till late on, how wrong I was!! 19 Barbel to 8.5 lbs and 5 chub.

I caught 4 barbel, largest 7lbs, my son had 1 barbel. River very low. Fish started to feed early afternoon. Bait: halibut pellets and bread flake. A very coloured salmon was jumping in the pool. Lovely stretch of river with very good access.

Fished Ty Newydd on way back from fishing week at Aberystwyth - James had his first ever salmon, a 12.5lb -fish from the River Rheidol - lovely!

On Ty Newydd we had 35 fish to 3 rods - all on dries - best trout 1lb, 4 grayling also at least that size. River low but fished well, fish mostly in well oxygenated water.

Many thanks for a great days fishing - a perfect end to our week!

Managed a couple of hours on Whitney, last fished there in the early seventies !!!! River looked beautifull, in less than ideal conditions caught 4 chub all around 3lb, 1 barbel around 6lb and a bonus grayling around 12oz. The only person I saw all afernoon was one well behaved and polite canoeist.

Started and about 8.15 am fished hard all morning without a touch, no fish rising at all. In the afternoon had 1 small brown 8 inch on a size 14 copper nymph and 3 browns of about half a pound all on the hares ear nymph. Had to work hard all day but what a great days fishing, I'll definitly be going back.

Caught small grayling and one trout 14in on dry fly. Caught 13in grayling on nymph. River low and clear. Windy with some sun. No rises although quite a few fly about. Had to finish at 3pm.

Thank you. We (2 rods) caught around 45 grayling - mostly 4-10oz but a few to 1 1/4 lb - plus about 15 trout, in the afternoon on a mixture of nymphs and small dries. Good to see the large numbers of small grayling.

Excellent afternoon at Arrow Mill, beautiful surroundings. One trout to 4 inches, one grayling to 10 inches, both returned safely, both on wets. No luck on the dry at all.

Caught 3 trout 10in, 12in and 16in on dry fly. Cloudy, little sun, very cold east wind. No rises. Saw Dipper, Kingfisher and Mink. River very low and clear.
