3 x 8" WBT plus 1 grayling caught and released but several lost. On arrival looked like the perfect day, a lot of flies over the water, as throughout the day but few rises. At dusk the air and the water was alive with flies but no rises except for a lone salmon splashing regularly in the Erwood pool.

Beautiful day but too bright! No fish caught or seen.

No fish seen or caught but a nice day out.

Couple of trout caught on a hot sunny day. Few trout seen rising, despite prolific hatches. Beautiful location.

We were recommended to fish this beat by the Foundation because we requested water suitable for fly fishing with good ease of access for somewhat elderly anglers. The stone walkway at the bottom of the left hand bank of the beat was perfect for us, and a delight to fish (provided your double spey casting is up to sctratch).We saw and caught nothing, but had a most enjyable day. The canoeists were very curteous and went down the far bank without disturbing the fishing at all.

Fly fishing midday Thursday 21st with size 8 barbless double cascade I hooked a 12lb fish in the wharf pool and played it into the wyebank pool before releasing. I was casting from towards the tail of Wyebank run and extending line to fish back into holding lie of wharf pool immediately below the gravel and stone shoal, tail of wyebank run. This lie has now produced around 50 percent of the fish from wyebank since 2004. The river was a trifle high at 1ft2" but fishing brilliantly with the cribs fishing like weirs. Fantastic conditions, lots of mayfly hatching.

3 wild brown trout: 14", 8", 6". Flies: grhe, ptn. No fish kept

5 Wild trout: 3/4lb, on CDC green drake. 1 "slightly smaller" on goldhead ptn. 1 at 8", and 2 at 6". All returned.

Exciting days fishing on this beautiful stretch of river with 8 WBT caught up 16 inches, and many more missed. Fish were taken on a variety of dries and nymphs. Excellent evening rise provided great sport, and saw/heard several large sea trout.

Brown Trout - 7 small fish (6" - 8") returned, and 1 approx 1lb taken. Flies - black gnat dry, greenwells glory wet, light olive dun wet. River nicely clear, and flowing sensibly after the recent spate!
