Fished with my son Max. A lovely day, so we started with dry flies and stayed that way all afternoon. Max lost the fish of the day early on, using a DHE. I had a jingler on and found most of the grayling in the faster water. We ended with a dozen between us plus a couple of OOS trout.

Saw only about half a dozen rises for my session between 12 and 5. Ended up catching 8 trout on Pale Wateries, Clink and Dink, and upstream nymph. No sign of grayling - as it was the first time fishing here I did not know where they might be holed up.

Spent the day being guided by Mr Oliver Burch. Very misty to start with but once the sun got through it was a glorious autumn day.

Oliver’s knowledge of the river was amazing and before I knew it I was into my first grayling. He showed me how to fish spiders which was completely new to me.

This was my first time on the Wye, and without Oliver’s expert guidance I would not have known where to start.

Ended the day with five grayling and one out of season brownie. Thank you Oliver for your time and patience.

the first time I came here it was low / normal conditions and I loved it ! full of features and plenty of fish. today and the last two times I've come its been in flood which turns it into one big flat piece of water.( 1.62 on the gauge which means its over the top of the boards at the bottom of the beat )sure, its still possible to fish and I did catch some from the beach type areas were you can wade out a little, but some of the best grayling spots were way too deep to get in. all fish 9 to 10" on nymphs fished on euro leader.

Great to be back at Ty Newydd. Nothing on the surface except the expected leaves so spent all day using French leader technique with some success. Mild temperatures and decent water height, some heavy showers mixed in with the frequent light rain showers, a good test for new wading jacket. Sun came out for a glorious end to the day.
