Fished most of the day last chance under the bridge . I had a take down by the big rocks .

Fished today ,started right at the top boards off the beat, 10 -15 casts and bang into a fish. A good scrap and I managed to land him a 12lb fish not showing his colour yet .Went back strongly

Beautiful stretch of the Wye, with lots of varied water. Even in low flows like today there were still pools where you could swing the fly. Access to the water is good, particularly the planks, but the description about difficult wading is very true. Didn’t catch, or even see any salmon.

Unfortunately had a problem with three canoeists who claimed not to know about the Upper Wye agreement and refused to leave the water.

Difficult day but lovely fishing most taken at the end of runs on nymphs no rises

We arrived early to be greeted by torrential rain, which thankfully subsided after a while. Water was at a really good height, and allowed us to wade for long sections of the Beat, but we were hindered by extensive amounts of weed, which meant constantly cleaning flies and leaders almost every other cast. It needs a good wash through.
Weighted nymphs were most successful, the majority of fish coming from the faster sections of the Beat. All were a good size, all healthy, and all safely released.
