On Sunday we only had a half day available as we had a long journey back to Oxfordshire. Unfortunately we were unable to fish the water because moving upstream from Llangoed Pool there is only slow water which can only be reach by boat. After aproximately 1 mile the water gets interesting. Unfortuneately, there were 4 course fishing rods already occupying the rest of this water. Subsequent enquiries by Alyson from the booking office traced the elderly landowner down and he confirmed that he also lets the water to a course fishing club. Alyson very kindly reimbursed our monies.
We did however have a good day on the Saturday on the lower beat. I caught 9 trout, 3 of which were 12" and 1 fish at 10.5" with the rest around 8-9" all taken on a dry fly with a 10" greyling also. My fishing partner also had 6 fish to a Copper John nymph.

Spent a couple of hours tiptoeing up this pretty stream. Nothing hatching and nothing rising apart from the odd juvenile wbt. Managed to winkle one out on an Adams and missed several lightening quick snatches. Obviously hit this stream at the wrong time as in spite of its diminutive size there are plenty of surprisingly deep pools that no doubt hold a good head of trout.
Will give it another go earlier in the season next time around.

Came to the lower section, having been beaten to the upper by another angler. River low and clear on a sunny day. Fished a single Copper John with an indicator. Blanked, not even a tug. The few fish seen moving were under 3". Hats off to any angler who manages to land anything here. Lovely setting nonetheless.

A bright and warm day with river low and clear made conditions difficult. However 3 barbel and two chub were caught - best barbel at just 8lbs.

River running clear at 1' on the gauge. One silvery fish repeatedly showing but no contact all day despite hard fishing. Good day on the river, lack of catch balanced with very pleasant company. Thank you.

After a fine week and a clearing and falling river we struggled, catching 10 barbel and the same number of chub between 4 of us. Best chub 4.5lbs. Best barbel 7lbs. All fish fell to the usual pellet feeder tactics with long periods of inaction in between. Lots of canoeists - some landed - though generally fine, apart from the group that came down in T formation - which was a little trying. Nevertheless another lovely day on the Wye.

Fished on my own (Dad couldn't make it) and had another excellent day. Started at the bottom of the beat (just before the mouth of the Lugg) and had half a dozen chub and two decent barbel before the swim went quiet. Took the advice of a very kind gentleman on the opposite bank and made a move and hit the jackpot! Non stop barbel of all sizes and a few chub for the next 4-5 hours. All fish caught on elipse pellets, very little success with the larger sizes, but 2x8ml glued to a hair rig with micro pellets in the feeder did the trick! Now I know where the 'hot spot' is I will be back very soon!

Arrived 9am, hazy sun which softened with further cloud . Searched the stretch opposite the stream with an emerger (this bit looks so fishy but never had any luck) without success. Moved up to the narrow stretch and caught three lively 8 inchers on the emerger. Moved up to the run the other side of the A40 bridge, no luck with the merger, tried the duo also no luck. Returned to the stretch opposite the stream fished duo again no luck. Wind very gusty down stream by now, called it a day.

Caught 2 fish.

Fished by T aged 13 - one small brown trout on goldhead nymph.
