Blank - couple of fish seen move

Much colder than we expected! Few fish rising and little fly life. The others were dace … lots of them in the margins. All fish on dries … strong and safely returned. Interesting variations in colouration of the trout… best 14”

Another wonderful day on this amazing beat , today chose to get my waders on and ‘Roll ‘ some baits about in the shallows with my new Adcock Stanton Centrepin much to the expense of my Barbel fishing , it’s been 2 years since standing in the Wye with a Rod in my hand and the Romance of that and being in the shadow of Goodrich Castle sadly diminished my Barbel chances ,2 or 3 of the Chub were around 3lb , mainly on meat , didn’t see a soul accept gamekeeper , but other Anglers I could see in distance occupied the deeper more Barbel productive swims from my experience so their catches will be interesting !
All in all an awesome day , river at a great level and cracking colour on it , thanks as always Wye and Usk , this beat has it all !!

Despite heavy showers and a rising river trout were rising and sipping throughout the afternoon. At what, my old eyes could not see? Went through all the likely flies in my box but not one induced a single sip. Probably should have fished nymphs but it was interesting to try the dries.

Slow start , but then caught steadily throughout the afternoon. Most fish caught on feeder & boilies , a couple caught on rolling meat. Best barbel 9lb 10oz. The recent rain has obviously improved things.
