Beautiful day for fishing but just managed 1 trout of about 6 ounces and lost a smaller one. Caught on a gold head PTN, just below the weir.

Some grannom about, but no great response from the fish. Cought 2 grayling, the best just over a pound, both to a dry fly.

Much less in the way of insects hatching but still a few fish rising in some areas. GB - 2, VC - 1. The fish were a good size 2lb +. Picnickers on the bank, stick throwing dog walkers and another angler fishing the right bank did not help the cause.

Nothing landed, one hooked and lost, a couple missed. There were great numbers of large dark olives and grannoms (I think) but few fish rising. This is not the best beat for a sunny weekend afternoon. There were dogs being swum in the river and a large barbecue party on the bank, complete with swimmers and a rubber dinghy!

Very nice looking beat but again water was low and very clear with not many fish showing in the morning. in the afternoon fish started rising and took 2 x 12" brown on dry greenwells.

Stayed over night at Tan House Farm, high recommended. Weather was warmer than previous day, though still no rising fish. Caught 6 Brown 6 -9" and lost 1 somewhat larger. All caught on PTN or GRH in the faster runs.

6 small trout and 1 out of season grayling, nothing much over 8ozs, good fun though and a perfect weather until the thunder arrived in the afternoon. Fished New Zealand syle with all fish falling to the nymph. Only one take on the klinkhammer which I missed.

No fish caught between the 3 us.
A very pleasant day was had by all,the weather was warm & sunny, not necessarily good for fishing.
One of us had a fish'on' for a minute but it then decided it didn't like the taste of the fly so then spat it out.
The Wye valley is a beautiful valley, the river was maybe a bit low,but it was worth it.
I live a two hour drive away ( N,Devon )close enough for a day trip so hopefully I'll be back soon.
Finally the foundations service/website is second to none regarding the service information.

Thankyou,

Beautiful day but sun was bit too bright I think. Fished the first fast run as I knew sun would shining right down if I left it till the end of the day. Tried some nymphs below a klink, got a snatch on the Klink, so I switched to dries, no takers unfortunately.

Walked down to the bottom section by the big house, some fishing risng in the slow section, got one decent fish 12" on an Adams, another two small ones 6inch?

Got another five small fish on dries during the day but fish rising. Clouds of those litle brown jobs hatching all day, Grannom? March brown? Perhaps the fish had stuffed themselves the day before?

Lovely weather, disappointing fishing. Lovely pint of Wye Valley India Pale ale at the Bell

Grannom in clouds kept up most of day. Lots of small fish and 1 large grayling all on floating grey duster. Hooked several more solid fish but all got off. There were just a few larger sedges hatching later. River is now getting low.
