A variety of small olives, pale wateries and a few yellow mays hatching in the afternoon - sparse but enough for the fish to get going. 11 browns up to 15", all but one caught on dry mayfly patterns. Heard a cuckoo up calling for a long time up near the top end. On the way back found the farmer had released a bull and large herd of cows with some very young calfs into the field that neighbours all of this beat - would have been dangerous to walk through as they were near the gate, had to bushwhack through a steep and overgrown bank to get back on the other side of the hedge. Others beware, access is tricky at the moment and not really suitable for anyone who can't negotiate a steep and overgrown bank. Lovely day on the river though, thanks again!

After heavy rain all night the river became unfisheable today so I had to leave fishing for today.

It was raining heavily, so decided not to fish. However I have fished this beat before and recommend it.

Not the easiest of days. The slab rock was like well greased glass, a wading stick is a must. I wouldn't recommend taking a saloon car down to the cabin parking, I struggled in mine. There were very few fish moving, those that did within casting range fell to a deer hair emerger and Griffiths gnat. The remainder were took on nymph fished NZ style.
Access into the water on the left bank below the bridge is a challenge, upstream of the bridge on the left bank there is an area where dog walkers park there cars with a pathway down to the river. This is above where there is a gate marked on the beat map; easy parking.

A lovely couple of hours spent this evening fishing one of my favourite Wye beats.
WUF I wonder if it would be possible to ask if half price evening tickets could be a possibility? As £20 plus pounds feels quite expensive for a couple of hours fishing on a summers evening.

Fishing Passport Note 25th June 2025 : Evening fishing tickets are now available.

Great day on Llyn Cefni, tried to fish from the boat but high wind was making the drifts tricky so mostly fished from the bank. Had three browns and a rainbow with the biggest about 2lb, all caught on red or green diawl bachs and went back strong. Will definitely be back.
