Beautiful stretch of the river. A great day had by all of us, will be back. All the fish were between 1 and 1.5 lbs and were quite shy (made them worth catching).

1'3" still dirty after w/e rain, falling. We tried every pool on the beat - no salmon seen and none caught. A few flies hatching with intermitant trout rising - 1 caught on trout gear.
Osprey overhead- a beautiful day to be on the river.

Fished up the runs with a gold ribbed hare's ear size 14 nymph. Great fishing for Wild Browns, caught eight up to 1.5lbs. 3 hours of relaxation in a wonderful geological location. Slippery under foot. One salmon showed in middle of the beat. Not many rises and no takers for the dries but perhaps I was not on the river late enough.

First time I've fished this beat and first time I've fished the Wye for many years. Had a lovely day although the river had dropped quicker than i had expected and was only about 1ft on the gauge, so a bit low I was informed;although running very clear. It's a big beat with many pools and ideal for the fly, which is what I fish. The river was very quiet, I didn't hear or see a fish all day, not sure if that is normal for this beat but experience of other rivers is that you normally see and hear fish, even if they aren't taking! Sadly then, no fish to show for a full day's toil, nevertheless it was most enjoyable and good to get the tackle out and the line wet. I shall definitely return.

Got out for 4 hours today, river at a good height, carrying a bit of colour but clearing. Feeling optimistic after a season and half of blanks but no wishes answered today. Fighting lots of demons with the salmon at the moment need to chill with some trout fishing on the small streams I think!

The river was looking very low. But had a great day with the guide Jonathan Morris. Very helpfull and informative. A needed lesson to brush up on my casting. Now I have seen the beat this low and with tips from Jonathan I will enjoy the beat all more next time I fish.

Only fished for a brief hour in the mid-afternoon. Trout rising everywhere. All caught upstream casting using a size 12 klinkhammer and hares ear gold head on the tail. Floating line used. A 1 1/2 lbs sea trout landed from Bridge Pool earlier.
Lovely beat with easy wading on the whole.
