First time fly fishing on a river. 7 trout between 5 and 12 inches all to dry fly—olive and klinkhamer patterns. Really enjoyable day on a lovely beat. Thanks WUF.

Day two of the upper Wye reccie and another very well maintained beat and beautiful location . The benches in the shade on another boiler of a day where very much appreciated today!

A good number of amazing looking runs and pools and could only tempt the one nice grayling off the top today but that was out of a tricky little pot so more than happy with that and it spent a large part of the time airborne when hooked! Amazing , never had that happen before.

Had one very good trout straighten a dry fly hook and I don't use cheap hooks!

Looking very much forward to coming back and parking at the static caravan site is great and it is easy access to river from there , quite fun actually taking the paths through the ferns to see the river open up in front of you.

Early morning trip but not early enough I don't think - a few rises in first half an hour or so, after that all quiet. Other were salmon parr; water obviously very low but there were fish in faster water. All on dries, para Adams and larger brown klink. Missed a few, including takes from a couple of reasonable fish that I did see rising in still water (not counting the many splashes at the fly from ambitious parr); worth going at first light if possible at the moment. Enjoyed trying somewhere new as always, thanks to WUF.

Another hot and sunny day with low water level. Tried to find some deeper water. Most fish came towards the end of the session at dusk, a frantic last hour!

After two difficult days on the Wye we finally found some fish.
This beat was very difficult, water very low and clear and zero flow but we found a lovely stretch in the top wood with a small gravel beach where there was a decent amount of flow running down a gully on the far bank.

2 barbel of around 6-7lbs and 3 nice size chub between us.
