A cool day at 11 degrees, and the water even colder at 9 degrees. Winter is on its way. Will wear the thermal LJs from now on - brrrrrrr! Some olives on and off from about 11 a.m. but not too many fish rising to them. Mainly fished duo (but only two fish came to the nymphs) or just an emerger. Had no joy bugging. Finished the day with 8 grayling and 5 trout. Best trout 13-14" but most about 8-10". Had two 16", each about 1.75lb, and one 14" grayling; the rest 8-12". Rising or non-rising fish either took an E H Caddis or a small dark olive Duck's Dun. A really nice day on this lovely bit of water.

8 fish caught, a combination of Chub and Barbel with the largest Barbel being 7lb. A big Pike lives on this beat. The access road down to the fishery from the car parking area is in a poor state, park up and then a 15min walk to the beat.

River a couple of feet up and holding. 11 barbel (from 3lb to 8lb) and a couple of chub caught. All fish came from either the pool at the bottom of the beat or the well trodden peg in the middle before the line of poplars. All fish caught on halibut pellet.

Rod 1 - 4 Barbel 7-8lb.
Rod 2 - 2 Barbel 7lb, 3 Chub.

1 small trout on maqggot - returned (only bite). River high but not too discoloured.

Started above Rock Pool and had a hen fish of about 13lb on back /gold Flying C. Single hook for easy release. Fished through Rock Pool with no result so went below bridge [Bridge Stream Fishery) and had a 10lb cock fish again releasd. Fished Scottish Dee last week for 1 fish. Grass is not always greener!

I came, I saw...and that was about it! Water was a bit high but nice colour, but didn't see a fish all day, which was surprising.

Fished lower stretch, caught 2 barbel, 6lb 4oz and 6lb 12oz on pellet It was a pleasure to fish this superb stretch of river.

River 2.5 feet and dropping. We all fished where we did yesterday. The bottom swims produced 6 barbel and 4 chub, all average Wye size and all on pellet. The island swim produced one barbel of 7lb.

On the water at 9am, 4 brown trout caught and released on a Brown Goldhead Nymph and 1 grayling caught on an Olive CDC. Later level up and slightly coloured but a lovely mornings fishing, the otter I saw seemed to be ejoying himself aswell! Left river at 2pm.
