Wye Fishing Weekend (Part 2)

How pleasant to only have a 6 mile journey to the river instead of the usual 90; and another early start after, for some of us, far too much ale the night before. Buoyed up by yesterday's results, I fished French Nymph from the off. 2 Grayling in my first half dozen casts had me thinking I had cracked it but, before any smugness even had a chance to set in, the river came up 3 or 4 inches, with a nasty peaty colour, and pretty much killed it for the day. Hard work afterwards for the odd fish

The 2 "other" were Salmon Parr. I was hoping to add a different "other" to that tally - after hooking, and almost landing a huge Barbel, on totally inappropriate tackle, on a previous visit, I tackled up with a Reservoir rod after lunch, and went up river, determined to improve on my previous effort. Difficult to spot fish in the peaty water; but there was at least 1 Barbel there - said Barbel succeeding in ignoring all of my best efforts with bug and nymph.
