The Upper River running at a cool 12.5 degrees brought the grayling and trout on the feed for a superb day on Craig Llyn. Most of the catch being taken on French leader and dry fly with some of the trout being taken on duo in the fast water. Many thanks to Shaun for another fantastic day and the first day's fishing for Phil Batty learning how to fish a French leader which came on leaps and bounds as the day progressed, taking his first grayling on the French leader in Penaloe Pool within the first half hour of the day. Hooked for life I reckon with the method! Look out rest of The Wye!

Fished the day before without a bite. Really bright and hot with the river running really low. Today on the other hand was far better. Myself and my friend Neils ended up with 4 barbel to 6lb10oz and 6 chub the heaviest coming in at 5lb. The barbel came as the the sun was setting , all caught on Hinders dumbells with PVA mesh sticks loaded with a mix of hemp, pellets and groundbait. Neils caught 3 of the chub trotting 8mm coarse pellets in the swim across from the Botanical Gardens flood wall. Barbell were caught across from the boathouse and further downstream.
