2 Trout, 1 Grayling

Glorious day in the stunning Wye Valley, warm and sunny with a gentle breeze. New parking arrangements are simple but what a shame to loose the terrace overlooking the top of the beat enjoying a sarnie and a glass of wine!
River as low as I can remember but still a challenge to cross lower down the beat. A mixture of flies trickled off most of the day but nothing to get the fish rising so spent the day changing tactics from nymphing to dry to clink and dinking. We caught and returned 10 fish between the 3 of us. 9 wbt and 1 oos grayling. All returned safely. One or two big 'uns including the grayling. Most fish taken on weighted nymphs but one angler persisted optimistically with a dry fly (probably an Adams knowing him) and was rewarded with 2 wbt.
The beat is comfortable for 3 rods but I personally would not fish it with more on a slow day like today where it paid to cover the water.

Smashing beat with a good variety of water. The day was clear and bright, rising fish of which there were few turned out to be mostly Grayling.

First visit to this beat. Hard work but enjoyable. Treacherous wading and access difficult at times. Two trout - one well above a pound and a pb accidental grayling over 2lbs but no salmon seen all day long.

2 Salmon rods. Fly fished all day. No fish seen but an enjoyable day at the river.

Very hot and sunny. Little or no fly on the water. Nymphs did not work for me. A dry Greenwells brought a few fish up. Mostly small and one better one.

Beautiful day but very bright. Enjoyed fishing the pools but no takes.

Very beautiful day but bright. Small amounts of fly life only and occasional rising fish. Saw a mink on the far bank.

Beautiful day, but perhaps too bright for the fish - just had a couple of small takes on Klinkhammers.
