River was a bit on the low side ,very difficult to navigate stretches of the water as a fence and a lot of cut down trees to get over , making some stretches impossible to get at.Only a few touches from small trout.

Grayling on dry sedge, trout on pheasant tail nymph and water hen bloa spider
Saw big salmon jump in pool

2 Trout, 1 Grayling

lovely day spent on the Wye, good hatches through all the day. All BTs catch with dry flies, and really good size. Switch to nymph to fish the middle section of the beat, and I come across the shad in the picture. Another great day on the Wye

People swimming and throwing stones in top half of beat for most of day so could only fish bottom half.

Again a lovely couple of hours, river still low, overcast and light winds. Everything taken on a Klink and lots missed. Grayling from bottom of the Bathing Pool and a nice size Trout from the bottom of Bachawy.

1 Trout, 3 Grayling

An impressive mayfly hatch throughout the day with lots of fish rising in pool tails and the slower sections. All fish caught on dries with as many missed and spooked with bad casts and clumsy wading. Two tiddlers amongst the catch but the rest were plump, beautifully marked Arrow trout from 7 to 13".
Normally when taking photos of agricultural practice its of a horror show. Not today. In one of the fields the farmer has left a 10m buffer strip with grasses and wild flowers between crop and river - fantastic.

River very low and a warm sunny day made fishing difficult. Fished from 9.00 to 19.00. Occasional mayfly and sulphur May coming off but fish not on them. Couldn’t tempt the odd riser (no regular risers) and had to resort to bugs to tempt all but one.

Beautiful spot. Lovely day, one fish seen, nothing rising, nothing caught.
