we fished from the lower end of the beat catching straight away on French leader and the duo many fish took the stimmy as well as nymphs top of the beat was a lot tricker to fish no big fish just over a pound we hooked and dropped another 20 plus fish in the current

Autumn has began in the Wye valley, bringing with it beautiful colours and leaf litter to the river. Had a few takes on the bottom mark using nymphs , but couldn't connect. Switched to dries around midday and had success with a sherry spinner size 14, landing a 12 oz grayling in the armies pool. Fished right up to the top mark and had a busy 30 minuted on the Erwood pool landing 3 grayling and a 12 oz trout on a klinkhammer size 14, lost two others. River running at a decent height today. Great place to pass a few hours in autumn. Like what they've done to the old fishing lodge, ie knocked it down and replaced it with a building that suits the surroundings.

Totally different day to my visit last week. There was no fish activity at all. I caught some 1/2lb trout in the faster water but there were no visible signs of fish - including salmon, to my great disappointment. I'd hoped after the flooding we had 10 days ago, that autumn would be in full swing. It isn't.

Fished all day, did not see any salmon. Leaves just starting to be a bit of a problem.

Fine day but cold, river in great condition. 3 brownies up to 1lb, 2 grayling all to the nymph bar 1 on the dry. Waders sprang a leak!

A beautiful autumn day fishing this lovely fly water, but no salmon seen or touched, despite optimism following last week's spate. The path to the uppermost pool, past the new lodge, is dodgy in dry weather and would be hazardous on a wet day with high water. Other reports have commented on the wonky style. The beat would really benefit from a hut, although the Gromain owner kindly let us use the old Ty Newydd hut at the bottom of the beat which is now part of Gromain.

River levels WAY up from last time I visited, and not a rise or fish in sight. Managed to take a small brownie on the nymph through the gravelly run though, no more than 6 inches.
