Coloured cock salmon, about 16lbs, taken on a small double fly on full floating line from The Island pool.

Fishing the top of this beat too much of a scramble.

Had a trout with the first cast and figured it would be downhill from there and we weren't disappointed! This is a challenging stream to fish, generally shallow and in summer trim very clear. The trout will no doubt see you long before you see them. We only fished the bottom reaches of this beat and landed two trout and a minnow (!), the trout coming from the deeper pools on nymph fished as part of a duo. Plenty of fly life about, mainly sedge and a few upwings (including one or two mayfly), but very few fish rising. Can't fault the beauty of the beat, but it was hard work!

Several barbel and chub. Pellet and boilie used.

Enjoyable day back on the Wye. Weather a little unkind but managed 3 barbel & 1 chub and a suprise pike all on pellet.

Two rods fished, seven barbel ranging from 5 to 9lb and seven chub from 2 to 4lb between us. All fish in immaculate condition taken on pellets and meat. Good directions from WUF and a beautiful place to fish. Many thanks.

2 Rods caught 8 Barbel & 14 Chub again to Pellet & ground bait feeder. Fished the top & the bottom of the beat. Witnessed Colin catch a Salmon excellent day. Will be back!

Arrived 8.am. Raining steadily, river appeared to be slightly up and clear. As on previous visit, we fished same swims - myself on left bank and fellow angler M right bank. I caught 1 chubb approx 5lbs first cast then nothing more. M caught 1 barbel approx 4lbs around midday and that was that.

Although fish catch was disappointing, the rain stopped and weather improved. A pleasant day in the Wye Valley. Thank you W.U.F

River in good condition, fished full beat hard all day with fly then spinner. Never touched nor saw a salmon. Switched to nymph for trout last hour, lovely fish about a pound from run above the bridge returned.

2 x Grayling to 1¼lb, 7 x Trout to ½lb and a couple of parr

This was our second visit to the Wye and again the fishing and surroundings did not disappoint. We found our way to our first swim quite easily (no problem with access as previously stated) and after a quiet start we landed a chubb of 4lbs 7oz and an eel of 4lbs, both caught on boillies. We moved to another swim where we only caught 1 chubb but lost several fish and feeders. We decided to move once more and changed bait to meat. This was our best decision as we landed 4 barbel to 7lbs 7oz and 2 chubb. Looking forward to our next visit next month. Thanks once again WUF.
