4 Trout, 12 Grayling

A hot day with bright sun didn’t hinder the annoying son in law who caught all but 1! Next time I’m just going to take notes!

A cloudy day to start with but cleared by mid afternoon. The margins of the river are full of slime where there is little flow… not good to see. A good few sedges around but only a few upwings… there was an egg laying mayfly spinner doing her best to change that!

Rising Fish seemed to be localised. Plenty of trout around including a very healthy number of small fish - we did have 3 around 17 inches though. Also one which looked nothing like a typical spotty Wye fish … this one just had a few large black spots. All trout carrying argulus lice.

Extending my casting to cover a fish rising towards the far bank I thought I had just better cover the water near a protruding rock. The flu disappeared in to a tiny blip and all hell broke loose as a very large trout breached the surface … and threw the hook! Ah well I know where he is for the next time

This was my first time fly fishing a river alone, having been once before (guided) and have fished stocked lakes for 5 or 6 years on and off. It was very hot (approx 29 deg C), I fished from approx 2pm to 7pm and took 2 brownies opposite the hut in the pool area on a yellow klinkhammer type thing (both returned). Will upload photos once this gets approved..

Fairly slow not much happening during the day unfortunately had to leave just as it was getting exciting due to 3 hour drive. Most were caught on dry fly, one on nymph and one on streamer and one followed.

5 trout, 3 on a pheasant tail nymph, 1 on a brown klinkhammer and 1 on a royal wulf. The morning was torrential rain, hence the nymph, sun came out and lots of fly life in the afternoon. Lovely day

The end of an enjoyable and productive week on the Wye and the Usk with most time spent at Ty Newydd. Plenty of fly life and fish caught on a variety of dries and nymphs.
