nothing caught but a good day had by both of us. cold wind blowing down stream

river was far too murky, needed some rain

Another slow start due to temperature and wind (probably) Once the sun came out nothing much changed!
However rescued by two 12” trout caught on dry and 2 larger Grayling caught high-sticking head of top pool.

Difficult day very bright and low river, manage to hook up a a trout which got off .A W from Ledbury caught a decent size shad , celebrating his first with Wye and Usk this season stripped off(fell in!! the rocks are very slippery to his defence) undeterred he was back fishing in the river with fresh trouser rolled up and crocs on.
I did manage to get to the bottom of the beat but soon left when there was a gust of water maybe a foot high appeared and then again ,must be the outlet from the water treatment plant not pleasant! .we left 3.45pm back to the Walwyn arms for some liquid refreshment another great day for two old men.

Only 1 fish, dry fly, below Hell hole very enjoyable, defo will return

A very enjoyable day on the river .Good hatches of olives encouraged regular risers . All grayling were a pound or over .

3 Trout, 10 Grayling

Warm bright day, river a little higher due to recent and much needed rain. Caught 3 grayling and 2 wbt off the top before lunch. Beautifully conditioned fish, 10" - 15", all taken with an F-fly and all returned safely. Fish completely switched off after lunch, but I stubbornly persevered with dries, for no other reason than this is the method I love. Great beat, look forward to returning next year.

So four brownies caught and returned and 4 more self released. Also 2 salmon spotted.
A lovely day but again, another smelly river I'm afraid, although it might have been something on the wind - lots of slurry tankers about on the roads.
