3 Trout, 9 Grayling

Only fished for 2-3 hours. caught one smallish grayling. Some heavy rain showers so went home.

Tried for a salmon during the morning, but no chance - river was very low.

A hot sunny day and the river was very low. No salmon seen, possible barbel take on a Salmon fly.

We booked this trip several weeks ago so couldn’t have known it would be 29-30 degrees. Needless to say, no fish were caught. It was a bit annoying to ‘share’ the beat with 5-6 wild swimmers, especially when a middle-aged bloke stripped off completely (right put me off my klink and dink). To add insult to injury I slipped and fell in during one of the tricky wading sections near the suspension bridge so that was me soaked and home for an early bath…

All on gold head nymph and all returned. The biggest one was about 12”. Great fishing despite the hot weather.

Made use of the faster water along several parts of the beat, which paid dividends on a bright, hot day and the river running low. Gold headed nymph and a copper john caught two decent grayling, best around a pound and a half. Took the afternoon off to relax by the fishing hut and watch the bird life. Great place to spend a day and ponder why I don't do it more often.
At around 1900 I went to the Heirag pool and watched several fish jumping in the boil. Try as I might I couldn't entice any interest from my various offerings. Stayed until the evening rise where a pale yellow evening dun imitation led to much interest from the resident salmon parr and smaller graying down below the bridge.
Probably my favorite beat on the Wye. Hopefully won't be as long until next time.
