3 small trout on dry midge. None taken. Mayfly hatching. Weather very Hot.
Beautiful surroundings . Much mulm on stones and water buttercup. Pig farms upstream? Much barbed wire, but stiles allow limited access. No benches! Access by long narrow lane used by much quarry traffic and farm vehicles.

1 small Grayling on GRHR . Weather rain with the odd sunshine, cold wind 11 degrees, not much rising. Still an enjoyable day.
Stayed at the Riverside Inn, lovely accommodation and good food.

First time to this beautiful beat. Good weather, warm, mild breeze but only very sparse hatch of mainly yellow upwing flies and midges. Only fish seen and co-operative were small ones who took occasionally dries. Lovely deep blue-grey deep pools but no takers to variety of nymphs and dries. Strange. Would love to return. Expertly coppiced and managed in an "invisible" and natural manner, preserving the naturalness but allowing excellent access. Thank you

A very pleasant day in the good company of other anglers as part of the LAFA small streams day. A steady trickle of flies coming off which was just enough to bring the fish up. There were plenty of Black Knat about as well as small Olives.
A lovely beat in stunning country side. Many Thanks for a great day.

This beat was fished on Sat 13th May as part of the LAFA Wild Stream Fishing Day and a number of fish were caught.

I'm new to trout fishing and this was my first trip to a river to fish for them. Had a enjoyable day and I missed more chances than I took, but I learned loads. Lovely stretch of river, I'll definitely be back.

Sunny start - cloudy and humid pm brought on a hatch of Olive Dun and then later a more reddy brown (possibly Claret Dunn). Only fished dry flies and 2 trout taken using Paradun Light Olive Millikins. Heavy rain stopped play and brought out a very busy Otter to put on a show as I was packing up. Beautiful spot.

Great afternoon on a beautifully secluded beat. The water was slightly brown from rain the day before but was very fishable.
I fished a mixture of duo, dry and a heavy pair of nymphs which caught the grayling one of which was 12 inches. I also had 6 trout all in the ten inch range. My duo method is a light nymph on the point with a dry dropper, and had fish on either. I also had a couple of fish on a dry fly only set up. All fish quickly and safely returned. All in all a very pleasant afternoon after some confusion with the directions supplied. Where WUF say to turn off at the Lye signpost. The sign read Upper Lye also the wood at the bottom is called Sned wood and not Sarn wood as informed. If you're giving directions WUF please make sure there correct as The combined mistakes caused a lot of confusion to someone not familiar to the area.

WUF note: We endeavour to keep all our maps and descriptions up to date as best we can, but sometimes with the number of beats we manage one or two can slip through. We apologise for the confusion caused and have amended the notes appropriately. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

First time on this beat and what a wonderful secluded spot, fish taken on goldhead pheasant tail nymphs grey duns and F-Fly. Will definitely be back later in the season.
