All fish caught on nymphs under a klinkhammer dry fly. Superb male grayling late afternoon downstream of the bridge. 2 mink cavorting about entertained me for ten minutes upstream of bridge. Better than the paddle boarder I met last time I was here!

Weather cool all day and river sluggish. 1 fished in the morning and 3 after a very nice lunch in the White Lion in Ross.
It fished hard but we all caught from across the beat and, importantly, we all caught barbel. Straight lead with loose fed pellet and a variety of pellet hookbaits. Two of the barbel were 'one last cast' fish at 1950 before packing up so lots of time waiting but great satisfaction at the end of the day. Please God send some rain....
Nice chat with the lovely Stefan who has done more great work in opening up 3 swims up the top and one below the fence. I count 18 swims with decent access now, making this one of the most accessible beats below Hereford, yes steep, but this is the Wye. Our 78 year old found one he got in fine and caught, so happy days!

River beautiful. Fished dry. Nil return. Blessed are they who believe but have seen diddly squat.

I only fished from 5 pm till 8pm, pretty much solid from the off, caught on feeder & float, best time to visit this beat, very little canoe traffic!

Worryingly I saw several cormorants just downstream from Foy bridge. These birds were actively feeding on fish under the surface of the river and should be culled. There are too many of them.
