With a peak at over 2m yesterday and at the gauge at over 1.4 this this AM, the Wye here was a different river to the summer with the fastest water being unapproachable but easy wading over the middle of the beat where previously it was dry. Water was very coloured with 6" visibility. 4 Grayling didn't fully commit and one at about 15" to the net, quickly returned. (Crystal Prince interpretation). Lovely day.

The river was at a good height (0.99m on the Erwood gauge and dropping 5cm during the day). Clarity was also reasonable despite having lifted by over 60cm a few days earlier. At this level it was possible to give the salmon flies a good swing through most of the pools. A path has been strimmed through the wood, making it much easier to access the upper limit of the beat (much appreciated bankside maintenance, many thanks!). I was surprised not to see any salmon but two nice oos brownies (up to 1.5lb) saved me a blank.

Great pleasure to introduce my friend, who caught his first grayling, to this beautiful beat. Ten fish in all. All caught on spider patterns.

At 0.54m on the Erwood gauge, the river was probably too low for salmon fishing. The lift from rain a couple of weeks ago has all but passed through and the water didn’t really have enough push to swing a salmon fly satisfactorily. It’s great that the owner has employed a bank maintenance guy to improve the access and reduce erosion towards the top end of the beat. Hope he can push all the way through and extend a clear path up to Abernant stream. Beautiful location and it was nice to see kingfishers and dippers.

Most of the grayling were small but there were a couple of adult size fish and a couple of decent trout in the mix, the best being about 13”. All fish caught on spiders in the faster riffles only.

The river was very low and there was a difficult downstream wind blowing. We fish a variety of methods including euro nymphing, clink and dink and downstream wet fly, but results were very disappointing with only 7 modest fish between 3 anglers. For some reason the fish were not interested.

River fairly low probably needs a few more inches of water to to improve the fishing. Struggled all morning despite trying everything including dries, spiders and nymphs. Moved up to the faster water at the top part of the bottom section and managed to take four grayling and a little salmon parr. One of the grayling just short of 2lb a really nice fish.
4 Grayling, 1 Other
