2 x trout and 4 x grayling, DHE, in between the showers

2 Trout, 4 Grayling

16deg with passing rain showers and distant thunder. Intermittent sunshine. Started at about 1000. No rises seen until about 1300 then very sporadic. A few big mayflies spotted. 3 browns caught on bead head PTN about #16 both from deeper areas and very shallow riffles. Did manage to rise 3 on an Adams but didn’t stick. Also a good take on a PTN that just pricked the fish. Got pretty cold at about 14:30 and fingers wouldn’t work properly so packed it in. Nice day though.
Thanks once again to the Wye and Usk Passport.

The river is very low (0.57 on the Erwood gauge) and there is very little flow in the pools to swing a fly. We didn’t see any salmon, but two small trout saved a blank. The sheltered area at the shepherds hut gave very welcome respite from the frequent heavy showers.

I was fishing Tenkara-style, has anybody else fished this method on these small wild streams? It’s well worth it. Beautiful beat, wading easy but slippery. Saw a number of rises worked my way upriver and back down again to my car. Took a couple on a small Klink.
