Lovely quiet stretch of the Wye, fishing all caught on beat 1 above the bridge

3 Barbel, 1 Chub

Flow was strong, speaking to other anglers not much had been caught. Beautiful scenery though

3 Chub

Water still slightly high but very fishable. Laid back session... mix of dry and nymph -French leader style and sedge and dredge.

Lost one fish in the snags, only bite of the day came late afternoon. But still a very enjoyable day

Saw only about half a dozen rises for my session between 12 and 5. Ended up catching 8 trout on Pale Wateries, Clink and Dink, and upstream nymph. No sign of grayling - as it was the first time fishing here I did not know where they might be holed up.

Quite a tough day on this picturesque beat.
Great access and being able to drive along the beat is a bonus.
One barbel of 9.5 and a chub.

decided to try the top beat today(down from the bridge) first time i`ve fished this, very nice, mostly pocket water but not too fast and plenty of spots to run nymphs through. it looked a bit trouty and so it proved because the only grayling i managed to tempt were near the bridge in the deeper slower run. grayling to 14" and trout to 12".
many thanks to the WUF for a lovely 5 days on their waters over here in wales, even the weather was good,no rain, thats a first!

The river had dropped back after the recent high water and was running clear.
Heavy fog kept the hatching insects down until later afternoon.
Good parking, access and easy wading (although from this time of year on keep an eye open for salmon redds
and it's probably best to avoid where you can't clearly see the bottom)
Most of the fish came to swung spiders. Partridge and orange, and Black and Peacock worked best.
Later in the day there were a few rising fish and a couple of grayling did rise to dries.
A very pleasant day on a lovely piece of water
Many Thanks

Spent the day being guided by Mr Oliver Burch. Very misty to start with but once the sun got through it was a glorious autumn day.

Oliver’s knowledge of the river was amazing and before I knew it I was into my first grayling. He showed me how to fish spiders which was completely new to me.

This was my first time on the Wye, and without Oliver’s expert guidance I would not have known where to start.

Ended the day with five grayling and one out of season brownie. Thank you Oliver for your time and patience.
