River still low but in lovely condition
Fish caught on feeder,pellet and meat in a nice steady low as most of beat to shallow
I must say been to a few Wye and usk beats over the last year or so and never before have the beats been in such state.On this beat alone,there was two of us and over the entire beat,which is quite long there was really only 3/4 pegs to fish
There was trees fallen into pegs not cleared ,over grown brambles everywhere
The bottom part of the river you couldn’t even get to,it was all fenced off and you couldn’t even get to it so it wasn’t for the lack of trying
This beat not a shadow of what it was like in years gone by
I love wild fishing but some of the beats now are beyond a joke

Windy day made it hard for the fly.
Not very good for fly fishing with the trees so close to the water. Could only fish the shallow end and wade out a few meters.
Zero fish, non rising or showing

Didn’t fish
Looked like a wash off on the webcam.

Fished the morning until lunchtime. 9 chub to a respectable weight. 1 barbel for my mate.

Very weedy and very busy with river traffic being Sunday. The only place to get some consistent fishing was the far channel on the island swim. Two small chublets on the float. Will be back though

The river, as we all know is incredibly low but after walking this stretch we found some nice, fast moving swims around three feet deep which looked very fishy. Unfortunately the weed is really bad and every cast returned with green weed all over the bait. Once the sun got a bit higher I walked the full stretch with my Polaroids on and never saw one fish even though I could see the bottom pretty much all the way across. Gave it until around 10.30am and gave up. Pretty place but no fish Unfortunately.

3 Grayling caught on nymphs, all from below the bridge. Biggest about 14". Rose a few trout, but did not land any.
Very blustery wind, which stopped any hatches.
