First time on this beat, very quite with easy access. Could have done with another couple of feet on water level(Or my landing net handle)!. Lost a fish each in the morning. Conditions were excellent at first but after midday bright sunshine
and very hot, far from ideal, and bites hard to come by. Had a visit from the game keeper around tea time,( didn't get your
name, apologies for that) but enjoyed our chat, pleased to meet you. As the sun went off the water we thought the last couple of hours would produce, however, several "knocks" but only two developed into anything substantial and both resulted in hook pulls!!. A wide range of baits tried including corn, pellet, various flavoured meats, cheese paste, boilies and trotted bread, most to no avail, only takes were on meat and pellet. Over all result, four fish lost one Eel landed, a nice day on the river but a tough day's fishing, lets get home and watch the cricket, --------- Oh dear!!!

We are too slow. Must do better.

Another fantastic day on the river Wye ! Fished this beat many times and it always delivers from top to bottom , The weather was scorching , which made me a bit apprehensive but the fish were biting steady all day long .
Fished from 12pm till 8:30 using usual pellet and feeder tactics , Nice to see our good friend Anguilla , who made an appearance, the Wye seems to hold many eels which is good as numbers have declined in recent years .
Can’t wait to return next year

Tried the Pilleth beat for a few hours this afternoon - far too hot and bright really, but still had a lovely time. This is a REALLY wild stream and can only be described as 'very challenging'. Lots of really promising runs and stretches but all so overgrown that getting a fly on the water in vaguely the right place is quite an achievement. Tried a small tan clink for a while but no takers so swapped over to a small DHE and then started getting a bit of interest. Managed to get a couple to the net - gorgeous fish, one jumping a couple of feet out of the water!
