A super day on a lovely beat. Weather was mild and mostly sunny with light winds. Fish were rising but only in bursts of about 5-10 minutes, followed by a lull for perhaps 30 minutes. All our fish were caught on dry flies, mostly small (size 20) griffith gnats. Best fish was 16 inches, perhaps about 1lb 10 ozs, but average size was 12-13 inches. Another Angler sharing the beat had more than 20 grayling. He was obviously more experienced (or skillful) than us.

Phil and James Bullock with Sandy Geyer from Prestbury and Mike Charleston from Loughborough. We got rained off Gromain yesterday and fished Syfydrin on Aber Angling Ticket for 43 wbt to 18" but that's another story. River in good nick today and fish wanted to play.JB had a plus 20 inch grayling and what is reckoned to be the self same 20 inch wbt he had on our last visit - exact same spot! Cracking fishing all on dries and the first grayling for MC. Happy bunnies all round thank you!

Great day, 3 rods fishing as one. Plenty of fish caught downstream of the rapids in the faster water. Grayling to about 2lb and some nice trout too. Olive jig nymphs and GRHEs worked well.

My first trip to the Wye, river was low and clear. Fishing for Trout and Grayling Czech nymph style with various barbless bugs and nymphs, missed a few takes lost half a dozen fish but that's fishing. The quality of the grayling was superb the smallest 10" the majority 12-14" the best one 17" each one a hard fighting fish, all were returned. Sadly the trout failed to make an appearance. Wading was not easy and difficult in parts, chest waders and studded boots, another must in my opinion a wading stick which is an equally important piece of kit often overlooked. A very enjoyable day.

Beautiful day on a great beat. 9 hard fighting grayling all 12"+ and as many lost. All but one on small dry flies.
