Very tough day - the advice about the wading being difficult was certainly correct! Appeared lifeless for the first couple of hours (arrived just after 12) but then suddenly fish started rising. One grayling took a dry Grayling Steel Blue but came off and the fish then always seemed to remain just out of reach. Beautiful spot - we will return!

A very pleasant day fishing in superb surroundings. We all started off the day in the woods and further downstream and caught steadily thoughout the morning using pellet and feeder tactics.
The afternoon was spent fishing the croys in the top field which was alive with small chub and dace, a good sign for the future. We spotted a fishing masterclass from a couple of kingfishers which had me putting down my rod to watch and marvel at. Best barbel was around 9lb ish and best chub 2.5lb.
As usual great service from the booking office. Many thanks.

Fished a relaxed afternoon session in low clear water. Leaves starting to drop but the weather was still quite warm. No fish seen other than a lively trout. I wish the salmon well over the next few weeks and here's to continued recovery in 2016.

Best grayling was the first at about 12" and never managed to get into a shoal but an enjoyable day nevertheless.

Water in perfect condition. Beautiful and secluded landscape. Beautiful day with no rain. Very limited number of grayling caught/seen. Very little activity with nymphs and most captures on dry olive ephemeras 18 hook.

Hi, whilst we enjoyed our day a lot, I would have the following comments to make. The fishing pegs are very very limited. Not having fished the stretch ever before I decided to walk it from top to bottom. I counted probaly 8 pegs in total that could be fished but 3 of these were really really awkward to fish and in fact most anglers wouldnt have even contemplated looking at them. 2 others at the lower end were in extremely shallow fast water and not really an option. With any water on then one of these would have been a no no so in reality there were about 4 pegs. I believe 4 anglers are allowed on it so possibly okay but then no options to move at all. We were lucky enough to be the only 2 anglers so we could move a bit but at £22 each we thought its very very expensive for the options available. With a little bank work the difficult pegs could be made better and a couple more created at the upper end. I suppose the question would be, would I return? The answer is only possibly if I knew we were the only 2 on there as 4 is to many for the stretch as it is.(from an angler thats seen a lot of river over many years). Thanks.
WUF note: Wyastone Leys, like many Passport fisheries, is a 2 person beat with an option of a party of 3 or 4 to book. 2 groups of 2 or 4 individuals would not be permitted.
