Not the greatest day... but will be back!

Today was my first trip to the Wye. I didn’t get the barbel I was hoping for but had three cracking chub from the swim just upstream of the island. Before that I had fished for 5 hours without a touch in the boat pool, but after moving down stream I got bites straight away. All the fish were on ground bait feeder with luncheon meat on the hook. Lost more tackle than on any other course fishing trip I have been on! But a good day and I will be back.

My grayling was caught on a PTN and my 8 oz trout on a shrimp pattern, both on the Abernant stream. RD caught in Alexander's pool using nymphs. Tidy beat, with good access, but heed the slippery rocks. Nice end to the trout season.

3 Trout, 2 Grayling

Over 3lb grayling on the dry small white parachute . All fish on the dry over half lbs. small elk hair sedge. Great beat lots of rising fish

1 Trout, 3 Grayling

My last trip to Cannop Brook before the season ends. The fishing was excellent ; 20 trout and 1 perch.

Water level was extremely low but clear. Level dropped even more from the previous week. Started off with a Klink for an hour without much success, only two rises. Then decided to hang a nymph underneath (New Zealand style) and started catching steadily. Finished the day with 20 brown trout between 4" and 10", including a perch.

Great day and looking forward to coming back to the Brook the next season.

Another day without a bite, not helped by us having to leave early for the trip home. A warmer day today, so we may have caught something in the evening had we been able to stay on. You could see the bottom in every swim here and with virtually no weed it was always going to be hard going.
