A sizzling day ....Again!!! 22 degrees, when I parked up at 10 bells ....And, i think it was 31, when i packed up at three....Then made a beeline for Crossgates garage for some cold cans of pop, muchly needed !!!
Fishing was sublime,for the whole length of the beat ...Slow and steady here folks, its very low, but fun stalking rising trout, then getting them on the dry, that really takes some beating i think !!!!
Fish ranging in size from five inches right up to a portly 12 inches ....Had four really nice fish for this little diminutive brook .... fantastic stuff !! 21 made it to my net, with a few more slippery devils that didn't..... c'est la vie !!!
I dip tested the river with my thermometer, and she's at 13 degrees, so thats still good !! Must admit, its why I like these overgrown streams, they're well shaded, and keep cool.....
Plenty of insects on the go, including mayfly, which put in an appearance from midday . Lots of mayfly, nymphal shucks in slow back eddie's...good to see !!
A lovely, lively, hot session on my local stream. Super stuff.... Kit away, and i think a cold pint is called for at The Lamb and Flag in town...Round off a bank holiday in style !!! Sorted .......

wet morning but caught 1 nice rainbow trout on spinner

1 Trout

River high and coloured so we’re not able to fish

Didn't fish due to high water after rain

Access to the lower half of the beat was not possible due to two broken styles to cross fences on the beat. It is too deep to wade around the fenced section.

4 Trout, 2 Grayling

Nothing caught, but didn't stay long. Unexpectedly, I had to leave early.

A lovely day on the upper Wye, although the strong wind kept any sort of hatch from properly happening.

Windy and blustery, river was just starting to come down after recent rains and clearing up slowly - no salmon, couple decent trout as bycatch
