8 x grayling 10-14 inches, 2 x trout 7 - 8 inches, a midday session ringing the changes with dry flies, Sturdy's Fancy, Red Tag, Grayling Steel Blue. Would like to see some more water in the river though.

Tough day for my first ever session on The Wye, conditions looked good,bit of colour in the water.
Morning slow with only a Chub, but a real belter, particularly compared to the usual stamp of fish found in my area. The afternoon started with another good Chub, and I was starting to think my first Wye Barbel was going to elude me. The thought of a cold Beer was tempting me to pack up, but I resisted, and finally got the '3 ft twitch' about 4pm which resulted in a Barbel around 7lb. I carried on for another hour or so and had another good Chub and a small Barbel.
Most successful tactic was bag and pellet.

Not its usual prolific self but an enjoyable day nonetheless

Hardly any fish in the first beat was very disappointing !!!

Two WBT to half pound, another to 1lb + lost. River very low and clear. Both taken on gold head PT in the deep.

Fished at wyecliffe, Hay . Bought tickets direct from owner who was very helpful and gave us a map showing best barbel swims. I had a 7lb03oz and a 6lb 02oz whilst setting up my sons rod. He then caught his first barbel of 8lb03oz. We packed up and went home happy after just 4 hours fishing
