great day out on a rising 1.5m river dirty brown
Fished the close margins half way up the top of the beat with pellet and then meat first two bites resulted in unstoppable huge runs from heavy fish into the middle of the fast flow hook eventually pulled both times ( snagged fish??)

most fish came btween 1pm and 3 pm on rolled meat in the margins this day was " payback " for a rock hard day a couple of weeks ago biggest fish was over 31 inches

great day and it was safe fishing thanks to the work of stefan providing cut out outs in the bank for fishing

Think again if you intend to fish here. Unless you like a long walk uphill some of the way then the only options are upstream and on the day we could only find 2 swims which were both too dangerous in the high water conditions. We were not prepared to take the risk and so went elsewhere but of course no refund or transfer of costs from the Wye and Usk

Few fish on the morning then went quiet on the afternoon river start to rise slowly may of affected the fishing but good day to be out and a peaceful stretch

Managed to fish for a couple of hours on arrival but had to abandon fishing due to a Wash Off. Weather was grim.

Very coloured water with a strong flow making wading difficult. 1 beautiful 12" Brownie caught on goldhead hares ear size 14

Many thanks to the beat owner for keeping us up to date with river conditions and weather; very much appreciated! It was a good opportunity to check out the beat and we will certainly be returning when conditions are better.
