River very low. Only fished an hour, 1 small trout on wet in faster water - a couple lost.

Very hot day. Beautiful beat with varied and challenging water. A steady stream of swimmers and sunbathers through the day (due to the close proximity of the village and public footpath) were a distraction. In the evening a large party of teenagers descended and made a lot of noise, splashing shouting and swearing and were generally a bit irritating.
Two canoeists were informed politely of the agreement and they did take their canoes out at the bridge.
This is lovely lovely water, especially at summer flow levels. I would not fish it again in hot weather for the reasons above.

Hot, most of the action after 6pm. If we could have stayed up to dusk would certainly have caught more. Beautiful, well kept stretch of the Wye. Continue to see occasional dead fish floating past mostly chub, probably half a dozen since start of season. Fished many years on Wye and not noticed this before.

Had a quick hour on the run below the Railway Bridge after helping Eifion and Geoff to pick over a thousand Himalayan Balsam between us. One sewin flashed a tail halfway down the run but wasn't interested in my fly. Loads of small trout rising again. A lovely way to spend the last couple of hours of light.

Last day ended up the same as day one. D had a chub fist cast then we had nothing for the rest of the day.
To sum it up it is a great location and under the right conditions am sure it would have produced great fishing but once booked you have to take pot luck with the conditions.
Our only complaint is the walk, it is just too much.

Evening session at Wyebank, first time on this stretch access really good. River really low and boy was it hot.

Unfortunately no Barbel, Managed to winkle out 6 chub up to 3 1/2lb though mostly on corn.

Just too hot! Nothing caught at all.

Another scorcher of a day so didn't start till 4pm and managed to winkle out a few barbs early on then went very quiet with just the chub nibbling. Fished off the rocks bit and lady in house said we should use a different footpath - not exactly obvious and would appear to involve wading rather than rock hopping!

Too hot, one nice chub for a lot of effort.

Fished for 2 hours. Low water levels and very bright sunshine, with only a few rises noted, no fish caught.
