There was some insect activity but very little rising.
All the fish came to weighted nymphs. The result of the previous nights torrential rain arrived at around 2pm bringing the river up about 6 inches in 30 minutes, fascinating to see but pretty well put an end to the fishing. As ever a stunning beat to fish with the early signs of autumn in the leaves. Will look forward to being up here in the spring.

Hideous day, alternating between drenching drizzle and full on downpours but river still quite low at first. Persevered and did get two solid takes (CDC / deerhair caddis) although in fairness the better fish (16 - 18?) didn't quite make it to hand. Small pale winged beasts coming of at times but couldn't get a take then and completely blanked on attempts with various nymphs and cdc emergers. Flies floating in box by end of day......next day was a wash-off. Character forming!

A very wet evening on the banks of the Wye! We travelled down from Yorkshire today and got to the beat about 5pm. After what can only be described as an interesting walk/slide down to the peg we quickly took cover under our brollies.
M had 7 barbel and 2 chub and despite Dman fishing the same swim with the same tactics he couldn't get a proper bite. Very odd but a good laugh and a memorable evening as always!

River quite low and clear but rained all day which probably explained the lack of canoes! A lovely place to sit and enjoy the beautiful scenery in spite of the rain. A short stretch of river but enough for 2 anglers to share. Had 3 nice chub up to just under 4lb from the deeper pool at the bottom of the fishery on the left bank, and 3 chub averaging 2-3lb and a small barbel of 4lb from mid-river half way along the right bank as dusk fell. Fish came to a mixture of pellet, luncheon meat or boilie fished on a straight lead.
