Healthier water levels at last for the Arrow but still running coloured on Sunday. However it was a beautiful sunny warm day so I fished for a few hours in the afternoon with nymphs taking two out of season small WBT. I couldn't find a Grayling in the deeper water but eventually caught a tiddler experimenting with spiders in shallow fast water. Despite my failings the beat looks very promising and should be perfect when the water clears this week (I also note someone did much better than me yesterday upstream at the Court of Noke).

5 barbel up to 6lb one from the top end of the beat five from the tree line no fish from the lower end. All fish caught on pellet. Fishing was limited due to match on opposite bank.

River high and falling - 4 barbel from 9.5 lbs to 4 lbs on halibut pellet. All fish in excellent condition. Chub conspicuous by their absence. Very enjoyable day. Clear instructions and map. Many thanks.

First time to fish the Wye and on arrival flow was very strong, the area must have had heavy rain and so found it difficult to fish. Lots of debris, even a tree at 1 point, great looking river and scenery though. Unfortunately no fish, going to come back on a colder day with hopefully less flow

As expected arrived to find the river well up and coloured managed to find a slack section out of the main pull and debris, feeding and fishing h/pellet really tight under the near bank. I went on to take 6 chub & 3 barbel, all in superb condition. Thanks yet again to all at w&u.

After all the recent rain I was please to say the irfron was in good shape. 3 grayling to 16 ins all on bugs also a big bonus..........not falling in. Browny points well spent, thank you.

With heavy rain on Friday the Lugg rose from less than 4 on gauge on Friday to nearly 6 on Saturday morning. River very coloured and full of debris. Clearing flow low needed - just not today! Excuses over - we had 1 wbt on nymph and that was it. Did watch an otter moving kits from waterlogged holt to another. Lovely beat - will be back in better conditions.

I fished with halibut pellets in the deep water at the top end of the beat, and caught 3 barbel. First cast at 9.30am produced a 10lb-07oz! This was followed at 14.00 by a 8lb-08oz. Just as the light was going, another beauty of 9lb-04oz rounded off a great day. All the fish in superb condition.

Piking on top half the beat trying any likley looking holes, just one missed run, was told by a member of a shoot late in the day that most of the pike were taken from the bottom of the beat in the slacker waters?? Try there next time maybe, an enjoyable day again in the Wye valley. Thanks everyone at w&u for a great service.

Really struggled on this occasion. No chub or barbel, one pike 12lb.
