2nd March, Cammarch Hotel beat R8: 1 x grayling 14 inches. Irfon surprisingly low, clear and very cold indeed. I'm guessing a lot of the catchment is still frozen up.

Two grayling caught, best at 15", one other lost, on grey/green flashback shrimp. Water very cold and clear, beautiful sunshine and heavy morning frost. Great way to end the grayling season

A lovely warm sunny spring day at last. The river low but with a little colour. Surprisingly hard going with the chub proving elusive and reluctant to feed. Managed to weedle out 3 in the end, all on meat. Also caught a rainbow trout on bread of about 2 and a half pounds. Don't know what he was doing there?

Fished on 25th & 26th Feb 2010 : Chub 12 of them, did it blow on Friday!

On Wednesday we had Chub (3) & John lost a Barbel on 3lbs bottom & 16 hook.

Blank. I had planned to trot maggot for grayling, but when I got to my local tackle shop for bait, they had closed. "What's the point being open?" the proprietor said later. "Nobody goes fishing in this weather." A self-fulfilling prophecy if ever I heard one. So I went down with fly rod and lobbed tungsten bugs into a muddy current without result until it began to snow again. I really do think its about time spring arrived.

Tuesday, which we fished all day in a snow storm @ 0 deg C and still caught Chub between us (3).

Earlier today I was fishing near Ross on Wye for pike. It was to my suprise after a screaming run and a hard battle to find a sea trout in the landing net. The fish was estimated around 7lb although I didn't weigh it as i wanted to get it back to the water as quickly as possible. Please email me if you would like any photographs of the fish. Thanks

I blanked but my brother managed a 3.5 lb chub and a bonus 6lb salmon (kelt). Both were taken on double maggot. The chub fell to feeder tactics but the salmon took trotted maggot and gave a good account of itself on a 18 hook and 3lb hook length.
