We enjoyed our day and meeting the two Salmon anglers on the beat. Plenty of room and options and easy to drive to the hut in a 4x4. Bites were finicky however as soon as we moved to touch ledgering we started to hit the fish after 4pm when the bites switched on. Fish caught on double hair rigged pellet and swimfeeder tactics. Great historic beat and fantastic service from the friendly Wye and Usk staff, worth every penny! Saw one salmon leap and you will see Kingfishers all along the stretch. Had a nice pint of beer in the Moon 5 mins away on the way home.

Great beat with the better pegs seeming to be towards the Lugg. Water had slight colour and a sunny sky. Fished with meat and pellets, very long walk if unable to drive down track but ok if dry.

River very low, clear & bright sunny conditions, fishing very difficult. Maggots caught small chub and trout and an eel fell to pellet.
First time on stretch and pleased with the variation of swims but no sign of barbel.

Warm and overcast day, river was at 1ft level (indicated opposite the hut where you can park). Myself and my Uncle (he caught the majority to be fair!) fished at two spots (Upper and Lower Sally's) adjacent to each other. We managed 12 Barbel ranging 2.5lb upto 7lb 2oz, along with 2 Chub around the 4lb mark. All but one caught on 8 or 10mm Halibut pellet with a feeder full of damped 3mm pellet, one Chub came to luncheon meat sent bouncing down the faster water just before the river Lugg (Pylon run).

River had a tint of colour. Very nice stretch with great access to all swims. Barbel caught early and late in the day with fish to 6lbs on the feeder and halibut pellet. Chub very obliging when we swapped to maggot feeder mid day whilst barbel had stopped feeding. Had fish to 5lbs and fighting fit.

The river was about 18 inches up and carrying a bit of colour so we had high hopes but after trying various swims only one produced around mid beat so one angler pleased and I blanked.......again!

River rose rapidly in the afternoon and covered the croys. Lots of weed coming down so abandoned search for barbel.
