Fishing with grandson Henry, his first time on the Wye. On his second cast he caught his first ever chub weighing 4lbs 10oz, what a great start. In spite of the weather, we had a very enjoyable day finishing up with 5 chub and a grayling. His last chub caught was the best, weighing exactly 5lbs. Certainly a day to remember for us both.

1 Grayling, 5 Chub

Only two offers fishing between 11.30 and 3.00. Not really surprising given the low temperatures. One trout a nice fish of around 14”, the other 6-7””. Both came to nymphs. No sign of any grayling.

No fish today. Conditions seemed good however no bites. Very cold weather.

Just fished for an hour pm after a great lunch at the Corners Inn. Kingsland. At 81 years old I'm finding some beats very challenging for my limited mobility.

1 grayling about 1lb - should have been more! Lovely beat and friendly farmer.

A quick afternoon session, the water temperature was 5.4, so I wasn't optimistic about my chances of any Barbel. I fished a large piece of spam and netted a Chub of about 3lb in the first hour , I didn't get a knock for the second hour, scaling everything down to a 14mm pellet on a 14 hook hooked into the first Barbel as a was putting the rod on the rest and the second a few minutes later. MHC is a well kept beat a few of the swims have received a batteriing from this winters floods.

One v brief gentle pull mid afternoon. Probably snagged a rock. Otherwise no offers fishing from the hut down through ferry and bridge pools.
Companion had two off season trout upstream of the bridge.
Weighted nymph point flies took the fish.

2 beautiful grayling on size 14 hears ear. Very difficult fishing with lots of over hanging trees and little bank access but great little river. If going in these temperatures would highly recommend as many layers as possible as it’s very cold.
Overall great day out.

Only had a few hours. Beautiful though cold day. The river was in good shape, running very clear. Beat is very well kept - thank you to the owner. Spooked couple of fish though didn't connect with any. Haven't been for a few years as previously water wasn't great quality. On today's evidence - will be back.

Very well maintained
