3 rainbow trout by small nymph. Average 30-35cm.

Guiding 1 x client. 1 fish of 1lb caught and 2 fish lost, all on nymphs.

Stephen had 2 in the morning, 17lb from Rock pool on a 1 1/4" tube and 19lb from Ty Mawr on a flying C. I fished in afternoon and added another from the Rock pool on a small shrimp fly, a bar of silver but only 7.5lb. Gave me a surprisingly good scrap for its size and went back strongly. River at 2ft 2" 5ft visibility and dropping very slowly.

3 Brown Trout. Largest 1lb 8oz all on a black tube fly opposite Ty Newydd hut. No Salmon seen.

5 rainbow trout, 4 caught on worm fished on the bottom and 1 taken on a bubble float.

All fish caught in front of the house near the dam.

2 rainbow trout by fly

4 Rods, 2 fish. With the water high, wind joining in, and temp in single figures, May? We caught or rose every fish brave enough to show themselves. River very clear considering the level.

Fished from 6.00am till 12.00 noon - beautiful, tranquil amazing. You must offer some of the best wild fishing in the world.
Started off in the morning the water was around a foot above its normal level and also coloured up a wee bit. I fished nymphs up stream and czech nymph style and managed around seven grayling (small around 6/7 inch mark, fin perfect) great to see lots of young grayling. Also three brown trout, one of which was over a pound, a beautiful fish.
Thank you for a great weekend.

Took dogs for a walk mid afternoon behind the house and spotted a few trout rising in the Pinsley Brook. I have access to a stretch a bit upstream of the Roving Voucher sections.
Started with smallest black fly I had but could not tempt any risers. Very lazy and tied on a ptn on about 12" beneath the fly. Had a fiesty wbt about 10". A very enjoyable hours fishing.
This is a lovely little brook and I expect the Voucher sections will also be productive. Dont' expect easy fishing - vegetation rampant after all the rain and channel already narrow. This is real wild fishing.

Kept going west from a very tasty looking Wye until I could find a Roving Voucher beat that wasn’t too high and looked like chocolate! Also took the opportunity to recce. a few new beats to me. Looked up and down the Dore and decided to give the Abbey Dore section a go. Not of great length but time was running out. Water a foot above normal, according to a local source, and slightly coloured. Wading was “interesting” with higher water and some trees having dropped over or even into the river! Access in and out to get around deeper pools is not for the feint hearted even with the excellent gates/styles installed by the Foundation, well done guys, not ’till levels drop anyway…..Having said all that I did pick up 3 WBT of 8-10” and another very fat one of 12”+, all on a Whickhams Fancy fished downstream in the longer glides. Nothing in the pools no matter what I tried, too much colour perhaps, and the riffles were heaving through at such a pace that it was difficult to stand at times. I look forward to fishing this river for the winter Grayling.
