It tried really hard to be a nice day but a gusting cold north westerley diluted the affects of sunny spells.
A brief calm period at lunch time saw a steady hatch but no fish expressed any interest. Nymphing was equally unproductive. A fiesty 8 inch WBT was the sole outcome of the day. Not much to show for a 400 mile round trip
Thanks Alison for excellent service as usual. Cracking pint of Wye Valley at the Bell.

Overcast day with high SW wind, thankfully somewhat warmer than recent arctic conditions. The river still quite high and slightly coloured. One 12" BT caught on gold head ptn. Some fly life but no fish rising. My first trip to Skenfrith, but I will be back as it has some lovely pools and it must be a great dry fly beat when the trout are rising.

Fished New Zealand-style. Saw nothing moving or rising. Water low and very cold. Vaguely depressing, actually.

River coloured, very cold. Only saw one March Brown hatch mid afternoon. No fish showing whatsoever. Fished upstream, downstream with nymphs, wets and dries to no avail. Quite a lot of agricultural litter trapped in bankside shrubs (sacks, twine, tyres, etc). Wading mildly uncomfortable due to depth, flow, water clarity and river bottom.
Would still fish here again, but when it's warmer and clearer (so fish could be seen) with a better chance of a hatch.

Glorious early spring day after frosty start. No sign of any hatches/rising fish. Unable to tempt anything to take the variety of nymphs offered.

Dank overcast day, no breeze & clear river (what am I going to use as an excuse!!!! maybe the Otters Holt at the far end of the beat!). Worked my way back from the far end of the beat upstream without success. Reached the section just below the Bridge where fish were rising caught 1 out of season WBT 9" and missed several others.
