Very good day, although very windy & rain at times. Diwall bach did the business, just a note of caution, the lake & banks are very flooded at present, & the track down also. Take care.

Very windy day. Just one missed bite, probably not helped by a number of people swimming and throwing sticks into the water for dogs. Beautiful setting but don't expect seclusion, this is clearly a very popular route for walkers/wild campers etc. Maybe quieter on a weekday?

Back again for our annual trip to the wye, this is our fourth trip to middle hill court. Good to be back.
River was low and clear paired with bright sky's made conditions hard. Not to mention loud drainage work that was being carried out down at the lower end of the beat. We did manage two barbel, biggest was 7lb, smallest just under 7lb. Not a productive as other sessions but thoroughly enjoyed are time there.

Many Thanks.

Great day fishing, lots of grayling once you know where they hide out! One brown trout only. Saw a group of six cormorants in the river, this should be checked out. Maybe the reason why trout very few and between?

Picked a warm, calm day with a few PWs from quite early and the odd one on and off, together with some sedges, later during the day. A few YMs as well and even some mayfly at the mouth of the Edw. Some rising fish throughout the day so, as there was some fly and fish were clearly looking up, I stuck to emergers. That said, fishing the foam, more of the fish caught were non-risers rather than risers. The trout were 12" fish and all but three of the grayling were 8-10" ones and the others were only 12-13". The preponderance of this year-class of small grayling (and I even caught some graylets as well) seems the norm this year at Abernant , Ty Newydd and GPIAC, when I've visited, and I wonder where the numbers of the usual larger fish have gone as, if these guys are looking up, so usually are the larger ones? Great for the future though as it was clearly a very good spawning year when these guys arrived on the scene. Let's hope that the FEBs don't get them before they put on some more meat! Most fish taken on a size 18 pale HE Duck's Dun and the rest on good old Grayling Steel Blue. A huge thank you to WUF for getting the strimming done on the bank on the top half of the beat. Made for a much safer walk up and back - a job well done.
