Tough bright day but one fish managed

1 Trout

7 anglers from Charfield Angling Association enjoyed a day on the Upper Wye for trout and grayling, split between Ty Newydd, Gromain and the Rectory. The started the day with a pre-arrranged breakfast at the Griffin Inn in Llyswen. The river was about 1.09m on the NRW Erwood Gauge and very clear.

2 anglers fished Gromain, from the fishing hut in the middle of the beat to below the bridge. A trout was caught early on, on a dry fly. Thereafter, both caught a handful of grayling on nymphs. A salmon showed in the run below the bridge.

The path through the woods up to the top of the beat and Ty Newydd is blocked by a fallen tree, just above the steps with the handrail. It can be cleared with a handsaw.

1 Trout, 5 Grayling

2 anglers fished Ty Newdd. They managed about 8 trout and grayling between them, mostly on nymphs.
Initially there was one cormorant on Ciliau Run at the bottom of the beat. That flew upstream as we arrived. As one of the anglers worked upstream, there were now 6 cormorants working Bathing Pool. Again they were very wary and immediately spooked upstream. When the angler got to the top of the beat, there were now 10 cormorants working Erwood Pool in formation. Those birds will be taking 10+ lbs of fish per day out of the river.

4 Trout, 4 Grayling

3 anglers fished the Rectory. During the morning and afternoon, they caught some grayling, trout and a chub on nymphs. In the late afternoon, there was a rise of fish on one of the flats, and they managed about 8 or 9 more on dry flies.

Fly fishing, two lovely fish and a good few lost or missed. Great day at a great venue. Day tickets are fantastic value, looking forward to next season.
