Pleasant days fishing with weather wet during morning period changing to overcast during afternoon and evening.
No fish caught using spinner but successful after changing to ledgering with inflated worm.

Low water, sunny sky,... most of the graylings pretty small.

Beautiful autumn morning, 4 grayling to a very pleasing 14inches on a gold bead nymph. Perfect.

Another difficult but enjoyable day with the motto being stick at it. All 3 barbel came in the last half hour of fishing as the light faded.
A well maintained beat and the work being carried out on the Groynes is impressive.

River very low and gin clear, until the cattle decided to muddy it! Fish very hard to find in such clear water, also the bright sun probably didn't help.
This is a pleasant beat but where have all the bigger fish gone, all grayling were fingerings and the oos wbt was only 6".
Be aware the cattle are inquisitive and crossing the river to avoid them was a waste of time as they followed and really stirred up the mud.
Thanks again to all at W&U.

With the water level even lower than last time we were not confident of catching.
Nevertheless we worked hard trying as many swims as we could but we couldn't buy a bite until almost dusk when a 2lbs perch fell to maggot feeder and hook bait.

More and more difficult to catch big grayling with dry flies. We catch many trouts size between 25cm and 30cm

A tricky outing to the Wye (as expected) due to mainly sunny skies & the continuing low & clear water. The usual range of baits & techniques were tried throughout the day. Doing nothing significantly different, our perseverance was eventually rewarded in the last few hours, with the sky now more overcast & the light levels dropping We caught our target species on static baits from areas of deeper water. They were all between 6 - 8lbs & in excellent condition. Challenging & enjoyable as always
