We caught 6 good sized grayling and 2 brown trout between us. We were trotting with maggots and also caught lots of very small young grayling (2 to 3 inches long), which looks good for the future. One of the trout had a cormorant stab wound on its flank.

2 Trout, 6 Grayling

A pleasant day's trotting on an attractive stretch of river. Largest grayling around a pound and a half, some of them hooked at epic distances. Thoroughly engaging fishing.

1 Trout, 40 Grayling

Lost a couple more but the one grayling I caught on heavy GRHE was about 1lb 8oz so well worth it. Shame it had cormorant damage but was healthy enough.

1 Grayling

The river was low and clear, some fast runs but the fish were very shy. We both fished with pellet, corn, meat from 8am to 4.30pm only 2 takes all day.
I have fish this stretch before and have done much better fishing the fast runs.

2 x parr at less than 6 inches is all I have to declare on the grayling front. Plus 1 x out of season trout at 15 inches - a non-native with a blue spot on his belly; I guess we can blame Tregate Anglers downstream for that one. So, not a very productive day, but a peaceful and charming one: the mild winter weather and the valley at Skenfrith were just about perfect.

River in nice condition but disappointing fishing. Several cormorants seen. I'm sure they are not helping.

1 Trout, 1 Grayling

Two small grayling in the morning,and two 16" grayling about 3pm on a grhe goldhead, water was crystal clear. Also three salmon seen.

4 Grayling

River low and clear, just one grayling about 40cm, and one trout. No other offers, struggled on quite a mild day on what felt like a good fishing day. A few olives trickled off between 11-2. Really quite tough and a tad disappointing.
Watched a number of salmon chasing each other around and spawning which was nice to see.

River low and clear. Lost 1 Grayling and caught 3 brown trout trotting with maggot.

Pleasant beat but river was very low and as clear as gin.
No contact made with any grayling. Requires a bit of water I think. I bet it fishes well in summer for trout which is when I think I'll give it another try.
Large salmon of about 10lbs lying dead in the river with large bite out of it.
