5 Grayling

Not the best of days for salmon fishing, totally clear sky and blazing sun - not what you expect at the end of September in Wales - but non the less we got the big rods out and had a go. No salmon seen or touched. One beautiful brown trout of about a pound and a quarter, the other 4 wouldn’t have made a pound together. Still, that’s fishin’!

5 Trout

Couple of runs through Lady Alexander's: Water at perfect height of 1'8", nice tinge of colour but no takers. Also no fish seen either. Beautiful warm evening, water @ 13 degrees.

Spent most of the day fishing for salmon,none seen on lady Alexandra catch.in the afternoon the river was rising and had a quick flick with a trout rod.1 nice brown of 10 ins and 1 grayling of 12 ins.
Can't wait to fish Rectory beat on Thursday.

Combined dropping my better half in Hay on Wye to search for books combined with my 3 hours on Abernant, and had a fabulous afternoons fishing, 3 hours on two of the main Pools "Abernant Pool & Lady Alexanders", 3 good sized Trout just under the pound and a handful of smaller Trout & Parr., a beer in "Hay" on way home, and the pair of us enjoyed Trout & Book Heaven.., a perfect day and highly recommended !!

I'm a novice so pls bear with me. Caught one grayling on a PTN . Not much was rising. Had one or two decent rises but generally not much happening. There was a more experienced angler there and even he was struggling.
Beautiful place. Fish caught at head of "Lady Alexanders"

Wye Fishing Weekend (Part 2)

How pleasant to only have a 6 mile journey to the river instead of the usual 90; and another early start after, for some of us, far too much ale the night before. Buoyed up by yesterday's results, I fished French Nymph from the off. 2 Grayling in my first half dozen casts had me thinking I had cracked it but, before any smugness even had a chance to set in, the river came up 3 or 4 inches, with a nasty peaty colour, and pretty much killed it for the day. Hard work afterwards for the odd fish

The 2 "other" were Salmon Parr. I was hoping to add a different "other" to that tally - after hooking, and almost landing a huge Barbel, on totally inappropriate tackle, on a previous visit, I tackled up with a Reservoir rod after lunch, and went up river, determined to improve on my previous effort. Difficult to spot fish in the peaty water; but there was at least 1 Barbel there - said Barbel succeeding in ignoring all of my best efforts with bug and nymph.
