2 Grayling, 13 Chub

A really, really, beautiful stretch of river - some of the prettiest river I've seen on the WUF Passport, and maybe it's a good trout beat in the summer.
Two of us, both competent grayling anglers, fished hard from 11-3 today and didn't have so much as a tap, we didn't see a single fish. A quick look back through recent catch reports during grayling season suggests a low stock of fish.
Gorgeous water, I not sure I'd go back again though.

Really foggy morning which stayed around the river all day, making it very atmospheric. Wonderful to be on Wye to clear the mind in uncertain times. Nice big chub kept me busy. Caught a surprise sea trout too.

Very hard day on middle hill the river looked in great condition but the fish failed to feed until late in the day and then only for a very short spell. tried a variety of baits but only 2 chub caught.

Blank for me today, I'm afraid. Lyn Davies fishing the other rod had two nice grayling. Incidentally, the allocated car parking here is a morass of mud at the moment.

Beautiful venue, water absolutely gin clear. Even saw a small hatch what might have been large dark olives or similar.

First visit to this very pretty beat. Quite a lot of ‘skinny’ water and not many deep pools which made for challenging fishing, especially with the crystal clear water. I managed 2 lovely grayling, both just under 40cm - they are there! Parking is close to the fishing but the designated area was very, very muddy.

A chilly and misty morning, but arrived to find the river looking lovely - perhaps a touch high at ~135 on the Erwood gauge but crystal clear having been falling all week. I thought I might be on for a bit of a red letter day when a grayling snaffled my nymph on it's first drift, but in the end it didn't seem that the fish had really shoaled up, and I had to work quite hard for my 7 fish (and 3 oos trout). Six nice 10-12 inch fish, and one handsome 16-incher. All on tungsten bead nymphs.

A party of ~8 kayakers floated down early afternoon, and happy to report they were very considerate, asked from well upstream where I would like them to pass, and were in general very friendly.

Bit of a short notice plan to fish, didn’t catch but lovely spot
