Another great day, but very slow due to weather /river conditions last couple of days. Few if any fish rising. Hard work to catch the ones we caught. Saw the barbels and had a go with the fly. Very nice fish! Measured 70 cm , given great care returning to water, but had to take a picture. Swam away strongly.

Very warm day. River low and no fish rising early on. Tried Nymph around 2ft depth but nothing. Halfway through the morning tried dry, parachute adams. Had a fish take but spat out. No luck. A couple of browns leaping out of reach and that was it.
Too warm and water low. Lovely day though.

The Wye was low and clear, on a day that started cool and cloudy but became sunny and quite warm. There was quite a lot of fly life, but no major hatches. I saw about half a dozen rises all day; so limited feeding activity. In summary, conditions were difficult.
I caught three trout (2 x 10", 1 x 12"). Adams (14), CDC comparadun (14). Upstream nymphing was unproductive.
I wasn't quite sure where to park. The instructions are slightly out of date.
As always, a lovely beat, with plenty of fishable water.

Low water and bright all week, but a good hatch in the evening which brought my first ever grayling, what a beautiful fish just under 1 lb, on a black gnat. A few other small brownies all safely returned. What a lovely spot on the Wye.
