2nd day on the beat. River level had dropped back a bit, but still very coloured. 1st rod landed 2 barbel and 3 chub from top of section, 2nd rod landed 13 barbel and 12 chub from bottom section. Fish caughet on hallibut pellets and boilies.

1 Cock Salmon (coloured) around 11lb off the top planks on the Bachawy pool. Returned safely.
3 Brown Trout c. 1 -1.5lb on nymphs again in Bachawy pool.
River was about a foot up, slightly coloured. Fished really well throughout. Was hopeful of a few more, but had a great time anyway!

Rainy day but was still a good day. Stuck mostly to campsite (due to rain) which was close to Locksters Pool, beat 5. River at fair level, had 3 chub, 2 on dry and 1 on nymph, they were small but lovely looking fish. Next time will make a booking for the Upper Wye if that helps any first timer (like myself) make a decision of taking a fly rod to Whitney Court.

Some fish showing in the Vanstone Pool but no takers. Water carrying colour - fishable but only just. Thank you.

None caught or seen on a rising river but looks a good beat when river is right. Too weedy for spinning if water isn't right for the fly.

An enjoyable days fishing inspite of the weather, it rained nearly all day or at least it felt like it. Actually had about 12 fish to hand the largest being about 1lb. Lost almost as many fish as came to hand dropping off barbless hooks, the largest of which was approx 2lb just as I was about to net it. Most of the fish came to a tunsten backed shrimp with others to a gold head pheasant tail nymph. Would fish Penpont again. All fish returned.
Stayed at the Old Store House near Brecon.

Took 7 barbel & 2 chub between us, mostly at the pylon swim. The other parts of the beat ,although looking good, did not deliver. Managed to drive to the river, quite a trek over the field if you can't. As per previous reports the cattle wanted to eat my sons car!
Good day overall.

A very slow day with only four chub and one small barbel between us and we both fished hard all day ringing all the changes. Some of the swims could do with a little maintenance/strimming as the vegetation is overgrowing the steps and making access difficult and in a couple of swims quite hazardous.

Rainy day, ended up with 7 barbel to 8lb on pellet from the lower end of the fishery.

Booked through the wyeuskfoundation. They recommended a guide called Chris Taylor who was superb and a lovely man with a good sense of humour.
3 rods over 1 and a half days fishing. 2 adults and 2 children went on the trip, we were camping 4 miles from the estate.
A total of 6 brown trout we caught of which only 2 were keepers at a 1lb in size (12 inches). Fished near the bridge left and right mainly with the main success wading close to the bridge. Also fished about a 5 min walk further down with no success. Small flies used.
