Could n't match monday's effort I'm afraid. Nil return for us all with no fish showing and no interest in our flies.

No salmon but 2 trout returned safely. Plenty of leaves to make you think there might something about to happen!
Water incredibly clear.

2 Trout

Water was in good condition no fish caught or seen

Autumn has began in the Wye valley, bringing with it beautiful colours and leaf litter to the river. Had a few takes on the bottom mark using nymphs , but couldn't connect. Switched to dries around midday and had success with a sherry spinner size 14, landing a 12 oz grayling in the armies pool. Fished right up to the top mark and had a busy 30 minuted on the Erwood pool landing 3 grayling and a 12 oz trout on a klinkhammer size 14, lost two others. River running at a decent height today. Great place to pass a few hours in autumn. Like what they've done to the old fishing lodge, ie knocked it down and replaced it with a building that suits the surroundings.

1 Trout, 4 Grayling

Two out of season trout - about 10 and 12 oz. One on dry fly and one on nymph. Two grayling, each about 6oz - both nymph.
Warm sunny day but only a few fly around, and only the very odd sporadic rise.
Very beautiful valley.

No sign of any Salmon

River dropped to normal levels, beautiful day.
Caught 2 really nice Barbel straight away then struggled.

2 Barbel

had one small barbel in the morning and that was it for the day . fished the legg meadow but didnt get any
action for the rest of the day. we ought to have been a bit more mobile and moved around a bit but for one reason or another we stuck it out in one swim and hoped the evening would bring the bites. it didnt . but thats fishing. lovely place to fish .

1 Barbel

Fished the meadow, had 4 barbel, 10lb 4oz, 9lb 14oz, 9lb 14oz and 6lb. Two good sized chub as well. River seemed in good condition with plenty of large looking pike seen chasing fry out in front of me all day long. Should have packed the lure rod too! King fishers, buzzards and tree creepers were seen regularly and definitely outnumbered the canoes today! Fish came to simple Pellet and small PVA bag tactics fished in the faster water mid stream. Nice to meet Don the bailiff who was very friendly and helpful. A lovely beat, the only improvement as mentioned in the report below would be a little more room for parking if more than a couple of anglers are booked on.

4 Barbel, 2 Chub

River at normal level with a little colour. All fish caught on the centrepin trotting corn and luncheon meat. The barbel were around 8lb and the chub between 3 and 5 1/2 lb. All were in excellent condition.
