Great to be back out on the water again, but not much luck with the grayling.

Tried french and czech nymphing without success, no fish showing and little fly life. Water a good height and weather overcast so no excuses, just one of those days! Lovely stretch of river, will certainly give a go again in the spring.
Stayed at Caer Beris which was excellent again as usual!

River was still high and a bit coloured from the heavy rain over the weekend, but it was a lovey sunny day and the oak trees on the bank were looking great. Good to be out (with no expectation of catching).

6 grayling (4 out of season trout and one salmon parr) River very high 0.84 on the Cilmery gauge but clearing
All fish on deep nymphs fished in the margins. Best Fish 41cm Beautiful autumnal day in the Wye valley

Great to return to this lovely beat. The owner is as friendly as ever and the new bridge across the drainage ditch half-way down the beat is a great improvement. The river seemed very quiet on this beautiful Autumn day and I was pleased to land two decent fish

We fished from 9.30 to 5.30. Plenty of small fish rising but extremely wary and selective. We tried everything but blanked. Beautiful day on the river however.

Rivers too swollen to fish. Will try again next year!

The Irfon was 0.27m on the Cilmery gauge, very low water conditions and very hard going. Although there was plentiful fly activity there were virtually no sign of fish on the surface. The few rising fish were small and extremely wary. Fish were taking tiny flies and the two 8” trout I took came to a size 22 Greenwells, there was plenty of rejections and downright ignoring of my offerings.

pretty cold start of the day due to the early snow showers. Cold wind, no activity. Manage to catch one grayling on a large march brown, and lost a big fish fishing with French leader in a deep pool
