Fish hard to come by. Water felt quite cold and peaty as it has been all summer. First time for a long time I have been cold fishing. Intermittent rises but nothing steady, few flies hatching throughout day. Managed 3 grayling and 1 trout at approx 10" - rest all small up to 6". Caught mainly on GSB, one was on a small unweighted ptn and one on a klink when fishing duo. Best fish came from Abernant Stream. Even waded out in Stone Catch but nothing.
Tried dry fly, duo and heavy bugs in head of the Catch.
Packed up when the British Army turned up en masse for a full battledress and equipment crossing of Lady Alexander's Catch. It also explained why field was trampled at 9am when I arrived and fishing has been so poor in the whole of the Catch - they had done one exercise there early morning already!

5 Trout, 6 Grayling

Just a few hours on the Wye before heading home from a three day trip, three Grayling to Klinks. Last session of the season on dries. The brief spell we were on Abernant was highlighted by a big boy Salmon leaping up stream, splendid !

3 Grayling

No fish caught. Very bright day. Only fished from 12 noon-3pm

Stunning autumn day at Abernant but with a stiff downstream breeze which gradually abated during the day. Fished with nymphs below a klink, one snatch from a small fish, apart from that the klink wasn't troubled the rest of the day.
Caught 2 wbt, 6 Grayling and 4 salmon par all on a gold beaded hairs ear. All fish apart from the salmon Parr were around 10 oz but very lively.
Despite the afternoon being warm and still there was no surface action. Probably my last day of the season and a good way to finish. Thanks to all at the foundation.

Another great day on the Wye. Grayling in short supply.
Salmon even rarer. No rise to be seen, but some fly life coming off. water a bit high and coloured, great for salmon, but none seen.

2 Trout, 2 Grayling

Fished on the 7th and 8th in beautiful conditions. All grayling on the 7th followed by 2 grayling and two trout on the 8th, to spiders and goldheads.
Thanks to Chris Price, who was guiding a salmon angler on the 7th, for his sound advice. Much appreciated Chris.

A bright and sunny day with water levels down. Little or no surface activity most takes on goldheads. First time on this beat which is well maintained and certainly worth another visit.
