Lovely day - only had 2 (my buddy had 10) and surprised we didnt have more. But great fun and my second was best part 2lb!

2 Grayling

About 10" on the Erwood gauge, so the river was at a nice height for wading. Caught a grayling and a brown trout in the late morning on heavy nymphs. After lunch, in the warm sunshine, there was the odd rise to some small olives, and I managed 6 grayling on dry flies. In late afternoon, I added a further three grayling on spiders drifted across the slow pools. All the grayling were a similar size - between about 11" and 13".

Wet fly on floating line casting upriver and drifting into the current from side pools. Both trout caught with this method but were only 4-5 inches so returned.

A couple of hours' fishing during the middle part of the day under a cloudless sky was always going to be a challenge so I was happy with a nice 1lb trout and smaller grayling, both on dry.
Great to be out on this fantastic section of the Irfon.

Another lovely day on the Wye. Fished from on of the middle Croys, under the willow trees on the far bank rolling luncheon meat. Only able to fish for a few hours around lunchtime, but still managed to catch five beautifully conditioned Chub between 2-3lbs. As on my previous day, a large number of canoeists passed by. Latterly, some youngsters arrived to jump of the Croys and allow the current to take them downstream. They were asked to move further downstream, even though they wanted to jump in by the Hut ! They did so begrudgingly !

Low river and a bright sunny day are generally not the best conditions for fishing and that proved to be the case, could only manage some small chub and nice sized dace, that said it's a beautiful spot to spend a days fishing.
