Beautiful day to fish this little stream. Trout into double digits to hand and missed others that were like greased lightning. Most were between 5" to 10" with a few larger ones too. Parachute adams did the business all day. A drop of rain wouldn't hurt but there was enough flow to drift from pool to pool to find them.

An excellent day on the Wye despite higher then would have liked water. Over a dozen trout caught on wet olive flies, most fish around 9" mark, two trout at 15". Plenty of missed takes. Very interesting day. Thank you.

15 trout and 3 grayling, 5 trout between 12 and 14 inches and 1 grayling 1.5 lbs,very good days fishing,fish taken on klink and dink, most coming to size 18 gold head PT.

Second day, different beat. Really liked this attractive stretch, despite very steep foot only access and stile to river bank (why not a gate?) which puts elderly, trolley-encumbered anglers (me!) at risk of cardiac arrest. Managed it, and results well worth the struggle. River fining down, weather hot and bright but barbel, perverse creatures, fed in two concentrated spells at midday and in evening. Seven beautiful, hard-fighting fish betgween 5lb and 9lb, halibut pellets over hemp. Feeding hard when I had to pack up to tackle the great ascent back to car.

5 Barbel to 7lb

I fished the Lower Crai on Sunday - outstanding beat, 16 wbt caught in 3 hours!! It’s very encouraging to see this tributary in such fine shape.

Off the mark at last!! water 0.57m and coloured. No salmon showing. Hooked a 6lb grilse at the tree root in the Rockpool on black/gold FC. Hook came out in net, so returned the hen fish without handling. Hooked a larger double ten yards down, which had three strong runs down toward the Chine and came off. Both at 6.30 - 7pm.

Sparse trout rise late on probably due to colour. J P fished am and pm with no success.

4 fish released between 8" and 13."

2 WBT 13" to klink #16. Lost a big fish after furious fight. Good day with some showers and sunny spells. Brilliant beat, friendly owner. Thank you.

River levels very low on the day,locals saying that they never see fish in the river, very stroppy Welsh Black cattle roaming up and down the beat,filthy weather....but I had one of the best days fishing I've ever had..... a small 7' brook rod and a couple of dries,(from a great shop in Prague by the way, called 'Spin and Fly'...well worth a visit)
Two brownies that took all day, stayed a couple of miles up the road at the ALLT YR YNYS country hotel (A465 HEREFORD, TURN LEFT AT THE PANDY INN....not before having a pint of course)great accomodation, food more than a little heavy! but they let you fish the river in front the hotel....very good breakfast.
