2 10" grayling on dry fly

2 Grayling

River was very clear and conditions not helped by strong downstream wind. Arrived around 3.30 to see a few fish rising, within an hour nothing showing and very little sign of fly life.
Had one grayling on an Emerger. Nice looking stretch, will try again when the weather picks up.

Fabulous day on the Wye which was very low, the weather chilly and overcast. On arriving I spotted fish topping in the deep water at the bottom of the first field so made my way down, I had one on a dry after a lot of effort and decided I should be catching more so switched to a Klinkhamer with a gold head hares ear underneath and took another on the hares ear. Decided to make my way up stream to the faster water and found fish taking olives off the surface, I switched to a traditional style dry and didn't stop catching, fantastic dry fly fishing. I had a break to explore the rest of the beat and lost a small trout before returning to the fast water and taking trout after trout, I lost count but quite easily had 18+ and two out of season Grayling.
A day to remember thank you WUF.

Caught my first trout on a spider in a hailstorm with 4 USAF F16s screaming overhead at treetop level. Never to be repeated I suspect.

More fish per head but smaller. Still on a March Brown nymph. Shame the river was so low, Would have liked to have waved the Salmon rod about. Will try again in the autumn.
