Enjoyable day at Wyastone even though the fishing was hard going during the day. Even float fishing was very difficult when usually it’s a good bet at this time of year.
Bites came at last light on feeder/pva/boliee/pellet combos. A cracking 10lb 1oz Barbel made a tough day very worthwhile.
A big tree has gone in at the top of the wood by the wall meaning only one swim is available in the rock pool unfortunately and a few other trees having gone in make a few swims a bit dodgy to get a bait in but obviously still plenty of others to have a go at if you’re mobile.
The others were 3 Dace and 2 Eels.

Great days fishing again on Middle Hill Court. Fish were caught on a combination of bread, sweetcorn, meat and pellet. Ledgering, freelining and trotting all produced results. Well maintained stretch of the Wye. I did have to remove several metres of clear mono off some of the swims. Please take your rubbish home with you and keep the river clean and tidy.

Lovely day, lots of fish showing.

I found the directions to the beat very helpful and parked just inside the gate to the field on the rough stony area. it was a very warm day and the river was still low and slightly coloured due to recent rain. No sign of any Salmon anywhere on the beat. Trout were showing on the food lines in the faster water and one 7oz trout was taken on a small salmon double from the far bank..
It was easy wading the river, but this stirred up a lot of sediment despite careful footwork. A nice beat in lovely countryside.

Super slippery and dangerous banks, needs more work to improve swims for coarse anglers. One only needs to walk up to the Vanstone and beyond to see what is possible in terms of improvements.

Fishing Passport Note : Difficult access is exaggerated when the banks are wet (and also during exceptionally dry periods). The Wye is an SAC and SSSI, meaning the river and its banks are highly protected under law. There are, therefore, strict limits on what can be done to improve access.

No fish caught today. Water too low for Llangoed
