Blank. I don't think I chose well, opting to fish this brook on a bright, warm, August afternoon. The Dore is currently very low and this beat is very overgrown now. I came across just two rising fish, pricked one (a grayling)and missed the other (a trout). I hope the rod who came along for the evening as I was finishing fared better.

Fishing very slow due to the river being gin clear and very low. During the day best to keep moving and try to spot the fish (either that or go to the pub !) we saw them flashing in a nearside gulley between the weed and one of us had 3 barbel out during the day. Evening is when the fishing picks up with a total of 10 barbel to 4 rods.

30 odd chub and barbel on float and ledger. Absolutely fantastic day, fantastic organisation, we'll be back very soon - can't wait. Thank you.

What a stunning part of the river! Unfortunately the water was low which made fishing very difficult and no fish were landed. We did hook into one briefly but the hook pulled. Saw some good fish (2lbs+) in the upper section and plenty of smaller browns. To sum up it is a beautiful section, and the scenery more than made up for the lack of fish.

One rainbow taken @ 2 lbs on Invicta bumble. Hooked and lost 2 others in 8 hrs fishing. Wet and a cold breeze for August.

A lovely dry day with a few short lived showers that passed quickly. As with everyone else this time of year water was low and clear with a good bit of weed growing now, as to be expected. Pretty much "canoed" out of it from 10 - 2 but then it settled down. Not a touch for me though. Saw 4 or 5 resident fish jumping around in the top end but your not getting those on a fly. Ran into a couple of coarse anglers who were true gentlemen. After a serious chinwag and a bacon sandwich courtesy of the boys I resumed in the evening but with no luck. Could see where some choice runs will be though when the conditions will be kinder. Thanks WUF and J and R "coarse" chaps for the good time.

Fished from Saturday through to Monday, as others have said the river was low & clear and the heavy canoe traffic pretty much put a stop to daytime fishing, so spent the day chatting and making bacon sarnies for our new American friend who was Salmon fishing. Caught 2 Barbel on Saturday... 5lb (netted by the USA!) & 7lb from the Vanstone pool, 3lb chub Sunday evening and a broad shouldered 9 pounder Barbel from the rope pool Monday morning (thanks for the tip Adam!)

Another great day on the Wye. 14 barbel to 9-14 along with a few bonus chub. All fell to pellet/feeder approach with the majority of the fish coming between 5pm and dusk.
Dont be put off by the canoes, we had bites whilst there were canoes going through the swim, although the 6 muppets in the two inflatable paddling pools raised an eyebrow!!

10 x chub 6-9lb. 3 x barbel 3-4lb

7 x 6" Trout small black klinkhammer. Great Day. Perfect water.
