3 Trout, 1 Chub

River on its bones now. Not much hatching. Landed 5 grayling 4" to 12", on a small beaded GRHE from deep pools and on small grey duster para. Saw no trout except one that took the para and then came off quickly. More encouraging, there were small fish in nearly every run, splashing around - managed to catch a couple at 4", both grayling so the assumption is that there are a lot of grayling parr in the river. So much so that they were usually first to splash at the para everywhere. Stayed till 7.00pm but no evening rise at that point.

12 hour session mainly on bottom pool. Overcast mainly. Pellet accounted for all fish which were caught in faster water. Most fish were in the 1 to 3lb bracket and came around mid-afternoon but biggest barbel (5lb) caught early evening. Lost around 10 feeders/leads/rigs in either weed or rocks but c'est la vie with Wye barbel angling.
Nephew had a debut barbel with first cast and the 5 pounder late in the day - a good way to finish the session.

Clear bright hot day we both fished several swims using feeder pellet tactics which produced 4 Barbel two to each of us biggest 9Lb 8oz and two Chub largest 5lb 8oz. A good result on a hard day in beautiful surroundings.
