Fished from 11.30 till 15.30 with weighted nymphs on a Tenkara rod. Both fish around 10 inches caught in the last hour .
River was surprisingly low and clear.

A nice days fishing in spring like weather. 3 chub to 4lb caught on bread in the bottom field but a switch to fishing for barbel failed to raise a bite there. A move upstream to the church field brought 3 barbel late in the afternoon to bomb and pellet, best about 5lb. It was a pleasure to witness the other angler fishing having a very good days fishing close by, he certainly knew his stuff.

A few days mild weather tempted me back to the Wye. Found the river still falling slowly with a bit of colour. A few hours fishing from midday produced fish until about 4.00 pm, when they switched off. Barbel in the range from about 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 lbs, with a much bigger fish, quite possibly a "double" lost when the hook straightened. Chub up to just over 4 lb. A lovely day on the river - hope to get out again before the end of the season.

Fishing the wild streams is for me a solitary period of time. I have to admit I spend a lot of time talking to myself! Today was a rare occasion when due to there being two separate parking places at either ends of the beat two us must have arrived simultaneously at each and then met on river. I must say it was a pleasure to meet and chat with knowledgeable O.B.of Gloucestershire and we comfortably shared the beat.
2 small grayling 8" and 10" to a size 18 tungsten bead PTN under a big dry. Unsurprisingly my fellow fisherman did much better! Lovely day with a hint of spring but there are Goosanders around.

5 x grayling 11-18 inches, trotting. First time for me on this beat, which is a long haul from where I live. A difficult morning to begin with, but some grayling, including several really nice ones, turned up as the day went on. An interesting chat with - and thanks for advice from - SC from Llandeilo Graban who fishes this beat a lot. I opted to trot as maggots were already in store, but I suggest it's probably better as a fly water. I would love to be here with fish rising.

Fishing was a bit slow! But weather was mild we fished one rod maggot feeder with not a single bite! The other rod switching from cheese paste and halibut flavour meat. Nothing on cheese paste but one missed bite on meat decided to fish both rods on meat and was rewarded with our first barbel of 2017, a beauty 9 lb to my son Christopher !
