Conditions near perfect, no sign of any fish about. Having hooked and played a salmon last season on a trout rod with a 4lb tippet !! I shall return until i succeed with the correct tackle.

The river was at a good height and reasonably clear - good fishing conditions.
A c 8lb salmon was caught off the lower ladder close to the end of the beat, and earlier a small grayling.

Water a bit too high today (level with the top of the boards) meaning I couldn't fish some of my favourite spots for grayling. Water colour was good and it did drop about 6" during the day.Fished nymphs under an indicator due to the very strong winds and managed to catch a grayling and a trout , both about 9"

Based on the amount of rain recently, I certainly feel lucky to have managed a day's guiding on the Wye. The gauge was showing a manageable 1.6 in the morning but was rising throughout the day. The three novices I was with caught a dozen or so small grayling between them using spiders and weighted flame-tails on the point – a Williams Favourite was working well in the slightly coloured water. Overall, it was a lovely day on the river amongst the pretty autumnal colours.

2'7" dropping to 2'3" through the day. Water 52oF, slight stain. Fished sink tips and sinking lines. Nothing seen and no offers.
The new parking arrangement is very simple and works well. As expected all planks are very slippery!

What a contrast to recent visits to Abernant - feast turns to famine.
River has risen overnight and was heavily coloured and the wind was too strong for my tastes.
Tried variety of dries but with no success. Nymphed most of time but again fishless.
Finally had a small grayling on dry late in day - was only touch all day but at least I hooked it.
