What a beautiful spot. Be careful not to miss the parking gate, its a sharp turn right off the main road. Started fishing around 11am and was struggling to identify what I should be fishing with as I couldn't see any fly life. The water was also still relatively low and clear. After many changes of tackle, I settled on a klink and dink setup. Around the gravelly run I caught my first trout of the day, a tiny fish that I must confess I first thought was some weed I'd caught as I was stripping in. Then, a 10 yard march upstream lead me into one of my best fish of the day on the nymph, a good 1lb brown trout that put up a great fight (Right at the bottom of the gravelly run). Shortly following that was my first ever grayling, brilliant!
Then I hit nothing for a couple of hours and decided to switch it up to a dry olive when the clock hit 5 o'clock. More fish followed, including another beautiful grayling. All in all a great spot, and a lovely day.

Hard day, River crystal clear! Lack of bites for the Wye. Surprise pike of 14lb though. Can't lie, it was foul hooked.

Edw Hergest is a delightful beat we keep going back to and always gives us slightly less gifted dry fly anglers the chance of some sport . It was a shame to see it with only a small trickle of water in places where we had caught fish back in May. In the deeper runs we were able raise a number of brownies and after a few missed splashy takes, managed to land a wbt of around 7 inches on a grey duster para.

Fishing up to the cattle crossing, another 2 wbts around the same size came to the duster para and to para Adams. A very pleasant morning with the prospect of the afternoon on the Edw Cregrina beat.

All fish admired and returned safely

The only downside was the new waders bought for the trip leaking like an onion bag

After a pleasant morning on the Edw Hergest beat we made our way to the bridge at the Cregrina beat. Heading downstream to the start of the beat was a challenge and after some mountaineering managed to get down to the river.
As we gathered breath there was a splashy rise in the adjacent run. A small green klink was hastily attached and de-barbed, which was duly taken by a feisty little wbt of around 7 inches.
Fishing the runs back towards the bridge produced a further 2 wbts around the same size, both coming from the same run.
The river above the bridge changes to a more steady slow pace and offers little to the dry fly fisherman, so we did the decent thing and packed the rods away and headed for the pub.
All fish admired and returned to grow bigger.
