Glorious day, although the Wye is showing the bones, and the all day has been bright, sunny, and warm. Fished from 10,30 till 5,30pm. 40+ graylings and 15+ brown trouts, and landed the beauty in the picture (what a fight!!) Fished with French nymphing in the morning, and dry fly (grey parachute has worked well) in the afternoon. Seen also an otter playing in the water, amazing! How can I ask for more???

Another wonderful day on the Wye. No water blazing hot sunshine. The river was in perfect condition to use a switch rod. Great practice. Fished for grayling in the afternoon. A big thanks to whoever rehung the bottom gate.

Incredible morning on the river today. Arrived at 08:00 and could see no rising fish so started by French nymphing and caught 6 trout, all around 6" so decided to try fishing the Duo and took a few fish on the dropper before the fish started favouring the dry fly so i switched to dry fly only (Size 16 Oppo) and the action really took off. Caught a couple of nice trout but they were mainly no bigger then 8", the grayling however were all sizeable fish, one around 14", which put up a strong fight. For every fish i hooked i missed at least 2 (too eager to strike). Unfortunately whilst pulling in a fish I waded into a large bolder and took a dunk (and lost the fish!) so had to call it a day at 13:00. Exceptionally pretty setting with no road noise or none fishers using the river.

Again, what a privilege to be able to fish such a piece of water. Thank you

I really thought that some of the shallow runs looked idea for dry fly but alas there was a cold wind from the East and nothing much hatching. I took a few small brown trout on dry fly but in the end switched to Euro-nymphing with immediately improved results. A lot of small brown trout, the biggest no more than 12" and a good number of moderate grayling, the best probably about a pound. I worked really hard for those fish and it was most rewarding to get the success I did on a pretty dull day. Majority of fish on a black and orange perdigon nymph,# 18, or a silver bead perdigon # 14, a few fish on olive dry fly. Very few fish came from the "Flats" and most were in the deeper and faster runs..
