WYASTONE LEAS is one of our favourite beats on the wye and has never let us down. This is despite the fly tipping that still occurs where we park and more annoyingly the total lack of work done in swim preparation. It took us a good hour to clear two swims and this is not the first time we have done this. It is little wonder this beat is rarely fished if this is the attitude taken by the wye & usk. We had 10 barbel to 9lb. 07oz. PB & DD WEST SUSSEX.

WUF Note : Not all beats have resident fishery keepers who will carry out regular maintain and bankside vegetation grows rapidly at this time of year, hindering access on many beats where there are few bookings. We do carry out maintainance work, usually ahead of the opening day but with limited resources and depending on bookings, we will concentrate efforts on certain beats. There are many beats that have regular maintenance carried out and we can advise on these if required. It is important howver to remember that on the whole, the Wye is wild fishing and anglers will be expected on certain stretches to create their own swims.

Good day for my fishing companion J Green: 4 barbel to just under 7 lbs and 1 1/2 lbs eel. A couple of good fish lost. Not many anglers on this beat lately and overgrown approaches to swims and swims themselves needed negotiating to enable safe fishing.
