Hard going, very low and cold, not fly active as such and found it difficult to locate any fish at all at first, but as the temperature rose managed 2 Grayling and 2 trout from the top section of the beat. Nothing bigger than half a pound

Water fairly low again - and as per beat description, it is quite flat and shallow in places but access is easy and I managed to find a couple of fish, 12" OOS Trout and 8" Grayling. Failed to convert a few other takes, all on nymph end of duo.

Day two of a mini-break. I stayed in The Lion Hotel in Builth Wells - clean & comfortable, off street parking, good breakfast, good price. Recommend it if you are doing Upper Wye beats.
Today the temperature had dropped significantly from Thursday and it felt very cold in the gusty wind. There was plenty of action on the river with fish coming up to the dry and taking the nymph on the same duo set-up (see my 25th Oct feedback from The Rocks). Early afternoon the fish started rising to a sustained hatch of pale up-wings and for a time I switched successfully to a CDC dry.
My problem today was keeping the fish on! I lost at least half a dozen after the first grab, and like all who blame their tools, I began to curse my barbless hooks. Anyway 4 nice Wye fish came to hand, 3 sturdy 14" Grayling and a similar sized OOS WBT. All returned fit.
PS: The beat instructions ask for catch return to be left on forms to be found in glass case in carpark. I couldn't find the glass case but it could have been a "boy look"!
1 Trout, 3 Grayling
