Caught one Brown Trout about half a pound on a klinkhammer with a few Mayfly present perhaps a few weeks too late. Enjoyed a few hours in lovely Hereford countryside. That’s what is all about after all.

All fish apart from 2 of the barbel caught trotting. Also lost count of the Chublets caught.

7 Barbel, 7 Chub

After nothing produced in the first swim I moved along the bank a bit, this proved much more productive with 5 chub and 2 barbel, mostly using luncheon meat ... sitting in the river fishing in shallows, as the previous day it was hard fishing but worthwhile .. there was a few canoes this day but I didn’t find them a problem they were al courteous and friendly, it’s standard on the wye

2 Barbel, 5 Chub

Not been to this beat before and found Ashford Ho easily and parked. Tried to follow the directions to the river. Going 'through the small wooden gate' led to a path that rapidly became unpassable and impenetrable. Guessing a different route it took me around 30minutes walk to reach the river and on arriving found the banks were near vertical and around 3-4m high. Resulted in a further long walk along the river to find access to the water. Some signage would be really helpful and a better map sketch as the one issued is of such a small scale it's not much use.
Beautiful river section and enjoyed my time on it. The following day I parked on the road near the Talybont on Usk bridge which gave a shorter walk but still much longer than the 200m.

Another lovely day at the lake. A big hatch of small, dark, upwing flies at 3pm had the water boiling with rising and jumping trout. A big red sedge dry fly did the trick on a number of occasions. Mallard and Claret and Sedgeshog wet flies also productive.
