The river and weather were perfect for grayling but as I had no maggots and the fly tackle was at home I fished for chub. Morning was spent on the upper beat by the Orchard pool. Not a sausage. So afternoon was spent on the lower stretch. At 2pm a chinook helicopter flew low overhead following the river upstream. At 3pm an otter, bold as brass, swam nonchalantly past. At 4pm something nibbled at my spam, and that, as they say, was that.

No Salmon seen. Some difficult wading; as much spinning water as fly water on this beat at this height.

Fished the morning on the lower beat to no avail, with extra from SMS at Gromain, thank you. Then finished as planned on the upper beat of Llanstephan. Just as I had started to think maybe next time, my line tightened into a fresh 14lb cock fish, which was released safely. I set about finishing Orchard Pool off to the tail and within 2 casts a 12lb hen took me up and down the pool stripping 30 yards of backing off the reel & burning my fingers to boot! That was landed & released safely too. I finished the pool with a fumbled pluck from another at the tail. All fish on 11ft 7-8 wt switch rod, full floating line and own tied cascade.
These days are few & far between on any river in the UK, but having one on the Wye is very rewarding, well done WUF!
