Caught more trout and less grayling than expected, but some beautiful fish coming out, including a 45cm brown to start the day.

8 Trout, 1 Grayling

Fishing time 15:-00 to 19:00.not as productive as my first 2 days. Fished the middle section of this beat , lovely deep channels with long pools and riffles. Saw a few fish rising in The pools, but I didn't fish those. I concentrated on where I would’ve thought there would be more fish, deep fast channels after a riffle. only 1 grayling rose to the dry and had 3 missed opportunities, I fished 2 nymphs, dry dropper and dry fly only. I think early morning is the best time right now. Water temp and flow is low right now,
I can’t wait to visit again when there a bit more flow and it’s a bit cooler. Loved my 3 days on the wye, the most beautiful river

1 Grayling

Dry fly , dry dropper. Mono nymph
Spent half the day just sitting and enjoying the stunning scenery and all the birds
Incredible venue. Got lost after walking across the bridge., didn’t even need 1/5 th of the beat, but now I’m excited to explore the rest. Thank you for managing this so well.

Nice dry evening, although a gusty wind blowing downstream making casting a little difficult. Fished for 2 hours (6-8pm).

One small, one medium, one large - all grayling. And one substantial brown trout, under a tree. All on spiders (wet flies).

Be careful as the boulders and rocks are very slippery ! Despite studs on rubber soles, I slipped and went splashing in !!!

River was 15.5 deg at 10.30 on arrival, and 17.9 deg at 17.30 when I stopped fishing.
Fished the top half of the beat. Caught 7 grayling to 14" and 2x12" trout. All when fishing a small bead head nymph through the riffles.
Kingfisher on patrol. Good to be out and about.

2 Trout, 7 Grayling

Late evening only - dry, calm, warm. Fewer insects than expected. Water (upstream here) cooler than downstream river.

A decent grayling taken on drifting a wet fly downstream. Also trout and one other grayling. All fish were safely returned.

1 Trout, 2 Grayling

Single digit temps over night had brought water down to 15’C. Landed a couple, lost a few more. All in all an enjoyable days fishing.
