Water going with a good pace but terribly coloured up. fished duo tungsten with a 3mm gold beaded Baetis with a hint of orange at the thorax and a pink bead on dropper. I did not think the pink beaded flies would be out till December but with the water the way it was it was the only bead in my box that I could see 6 inches under the surface.. and most trout and both grayling took the pink beaded Baetis on dropper. this beat to me is a cracker , there are some decent fish within this beat. it,s just finding them!! . trout ranged from 6-14 inches and both grayling 10 inches. I hooked a few a fair bit bigger but once in the fast water all managed to slip hook.

Fished from 5 till 8 pm. Not a lot happening but managed to catch 3 on dry. 1st on Griffiths gnat, other 2 on iron blue. All in fast water at heads of the pools. Had a few Kingfishers and a water vole? As company. Water still a little coloured after recent downpours.

Was hoping to have a go at the many chub and barbel with the trotting rod after a quick swing of the fly-rod but alas the river was too high and coloured for both; rugby was good though!

river was running a bit and coloured.
First ever Barbel for Alan around 8.30 and a second within an hour to just short of 9 Lbs so he was very pleased with that as was I for him. Missed bites and lost fish followed. iddle part of day was quiet. oth had more bites and lost fish before a late fish each to my relief to round off another good day on the Wye. All fish to pellet and feeders in the slacks, a misplaced cast helped us on our way. Faster water was unproductive.

River was high but weather was good. We fished at the top end of the section as most of the other swims were unfishable.
5 barbel and a small chub caught between us although all were caught from the last swim on the stretch.
