Grannom hatch reduced by a cold and strengthening downstream north-westerly most of the day, but in between the gusts in the sun in the morning,they were emerging. Some LDOs braved the wind later. Very few fish rising all day but rising and non-rising trout and grayling taken on HE emerger. Most fish taken on PTN, weighted grannom pupa and Greenwell's Spider. 25 fish in all at the end of the session. Frozen hands reminded me that summer is definitely not here yet!

Had a couple of phenomenal days on Wye over the weekend. It was so good on Saturday I had to go back on Sunday. The Granom hatches have been the best I've experienced in 10 years. They were starting by 10 and although they were not hatching there was fly around all day with rising fish still eager to take the fly till after 6 in the evening.

You probably wouldn't believe how many fish I caught, I lost count after running out of fingers and toes several times over on both days. I took fish on nymph and dries, the dries worked well in the afternoon I guess when the fish were taking the drowned out egg layers coming back.

Best fish.....about 4lb, a number of 40+cm trout (over a dozen!). Most memorable fish - hooked it in the Top Planks, spooled me out of fly line and 50yds of backing so followed it down the run, I managed about 200yds before having to swim the last 100yds and landed it in the Gravely Pool, witnessed by who ever was fishing the beat with me on Sunday. One hell of an experience!

Absolutely outstanding fishing, some of the best I've ever experienced, it really was that good!

Lots of Grannon. Had a dozen or so small trout and a good grayling all returned.
Struggled considering fly life about (probably lack of skill)

Lovely Day. 5 x Grayling to 1¾lb and 4 x Brownies - best 13". All returned

No fish caught. A stunning location that more than made up for no catch.

Fished Ty-Newydd with six others. I managed three grayling and a trout. Mr Game had two grayling but the others all failed to catch. None of those who blanked had actually visited the water before but they were not put off by their lack of success and to a man commented on the superb scenery and vowed to return when the weather warms up a bit!

1 brown trout 8oz caught on a ptn.

A lovely days fishing in excellent company. MB opted to fish the dry fly and ended with 14 grayling and 1 out of season trout whilst TP fished nymphs and took 10 out of season trout and 1 grayling. What an interesting result! The grayling were clearly looking upwards whilst the trout had their heads down! The weather was fairly kind with a mild overcast day just occasionally interrupted by a stiff late afternoon breeze.

12 Trout, 15 Grayling
