7 barbel to 9lb 4oz a 5lb chub. The beat boundary line indication on the W&U map clearly shows the bottom boundary being the centre of the Old Bridge. This is misleading as the boundary is actualy the upstream fence line. This was CLEARLY explained to me by the keeper when he turned up and asked me to move back over the fence when I had just set up to fish off the peg between the bridge and the fence. The W&U need to make the beat boundary specific to prevent any future anglers suffering the same embassment as I did.

A quite disappointing day. The beat was over roded with 6 rods from 3 differing parties, meant that we were always on top of one another. Plus rods fishing the upper section on the opposite bank.
I was told the week before that the beat was limited to 3 unless the party was all together. A great shame, I had invited a friend down who had travelled nearly 300 miles to come fishing on what we thought would be exclusive water not sure they will be back.

3 barbel to 8lbs and 3 chub to 5lbs 10oz. All fish caught on pellet.

River low and clear. Fished hard with no sign of Salmon all day. Good sport with Grayling; caught over 10 in 2hrs on a single dry fly I found in the boot of my car. Hey, why bother with other thousand flies left home if this one works?!

1 small trout caught on a small black gold head emerger pattern and returned to river. Good fishing and no adverse comments.

Nice looking section & the walk was not too bad. Had 5 barbel on meat & corn between 2 rods. All taken at the top end of the section. First field has cattle in at the moment. Had problems parking in lay by, because 2 cars were already there, they were walking.

My fishing partner JP has already submitted a comprehensive report on Saturdays visit to Wyebank. No barbel to report,1 chub late mid afternoon,my ony real bite of the day. Cold temps night before, bright day kept the barbel away. As ever Don helpfull & courteous, & Wye & Usk booking service as good as always. Hoping to return to Wyebank towards the end of October when river is a bit quieter.

Water cold and low. Lots of canoeist who don't appear to keep clear of the line! A couple of Chub.

After a frosty start the sun came out and it really was a lovely September day. Unfortunately all 3 of us blanked, an absolute disaster. It is a wonderful stretch, peaceful and easy to park in the dry for 3 cars. However luck was not with us. We will be back though!

No salmon caught but a number of decent pulls. River in good condition but a bright and sunny day. Fish showing, particularly in the croys at the top of the beat, plenty of canoes but all polite.
