River low and clear . The day was blustery with a good downpour for the first hour , during this period the only two rises were witnessed and two fish caught one on dry fly one on deep fished nymph, both fish approx.. 8 inch . Fish just not interested in rising and few hatching fly .Third fish of the day taken in the afternoon on deep fished nymph and probably 12 inches..
A most enjoyable day in a lovely part of the country .

Caught two Grilse today (Wed) 5.5 & 4.5 lbs, smaller fish was silver fresh. Both fish took a 1"gold mylar tube fly and gave a good account of themselves. River then rose 9" in two hours which unfortunately put pay to any further fishing. Several fish seen ascending the weir.

CM and GW second day on the Wye. Both had a good day with fish being caught steadily throughout the day. Fished from 11am until 6.30pm and had 17 Barbel and 1 Chub between us. Thanks.

It was a hard day as the river was dirty and very fast. Fished in a back eddy. Both fish were biggish. One at 7.5 and the other just. under 9.

2 Barbel

Water running way too fast only fished for an hour then came the pouring rain bit of a wasted journey, I wanted to fish the Irfon but again in spate

River rising all day but we managed 6 between us.

Wet fly fishing. Overcast with brief spells of sunlight. River clear and in good condition. One fish hooked but lost immediately. No sign of fish rising.

This is a very attractive stretch of the Wye but a long walk from the car park and a tricky one to find safe swims on, especially in the very high water conditions with large trees, branches and weed rafts coming down. We could only fish the near edge with 180g feeders and braid using floodwater rods and were pleased to find a few barbel.
