High water again but clearer, no real hatch and wind was wild.

2 Grayling

Very high water , couldn’t Wade.

4 Trout

All caught on heavy nymphs. River had started to come down after recent rise. Cold NNW, Sun and cloud, but dry day.

2 Trout, 3 Grayling

Nothing caught but a stunning beat.

Lovely beat, but unfortunately no grayling gave themselves up.

A lovely stretch of river and well looked after. A lovely sunny winters day fishing a winter grayling ticket but sadly no Grayling caught. The river was still quite full in parts and made wading some of the pools tricky or impossible. I did land a small brown from Llandiro Pool which was quickly released. Fishing french leaders with a team of 2 weighted barbless nymphs, purple flash was the colour that tempted the small brown. Definitely a beat I will be returning too when river levels drop.

A lovely autumnal day on the upper Wye. A very well looked after beat, in fact the best cared for beat I have fished in Wales, with excellent access and variety of water available to fish. Flurries of sedge and BWOs all day, but the main hatch was a prodigious spinner fall of "autumn leaves", including Oak, Beech and Ash in vast quantities, making fly fishing incredibly difficult and nigh on pointless for the majority of the day. Eventually I found a run with an eddy on the far bank which was keeping the flow clear, and managed to lever out a couple of Grayling of 1.5lb on heavy, but subtly coloured nymphs. Several salmon seen showing and two brownies lost early on in the fight.

Hard to detect genuine takes in the ‘leaf soup’ .I probably missed a lot but managed 3 grayling to 14” and a nice OOSBT. All to nymphs with pink in them fished Euro style.
