A combination of not making it to the river until 1430 and my own inability to fish resulted in one grayling. Caught on a size 12 shrimp. My first time to this beat so learning the pools. A bit of colour to the water but still fairly clear and easily wadeable.

Obviously some ' bank work ' being carried out upstream as both yesterday and today was being inundated with debris for 2/3 hours from 10 A.M. onwards. Now on a river like the Wye you expect to encounter debris especially at this time of the year but this was not natural as the large 'passing' branches and 'rafts' had clearly been cut. Basically, somewhere upstream you've got a fishery owner or angling club who are too lazy to get this debris onto the bank and dispose of it properly so instead dump it in the 'oggin' not giving a toss about who or what it affects downstream...

The river is improving since last year's pollution with some larger fish now present.

The two of us had the whole beat to ourselves on this beautiful Autumnal day and the river was in good flow with good colour. The fishing all happened in the first hour and then went quiet, but it was such a beautiful day it was a joy to be by the river. We both fished swim feeders with maggot and pellets and also trotted maggot as we searched for the fish. I look forward to coming back

very slow today, started at 11.30 and only brought 6 to the net by 2.30 pm . These six all taking 2.5mm pink bead on point . then for 30 minutes it was a fish every other cast from one glide. all taking 3mm gold bead nymph with a red hotspot. all grayling between 7-16 inches with the majority around 10-12 inches , the trout between 6-17 inches. after this half hour period the river just died. weather was very gloomy with no sunshine and a persistent drizzle all day. river just over a foot on the Lugg camera which is still too low for my liking but hey ho thats fishing
