Very cold day -6 when I parked up. Needless to say no activity, but a glorious day, will try again when it warms up a bit.

Very cold morning -3 ground was solid and the river was low and clear new I was in for a hard day decided to fish an in-line maggot feeder on a 4oz tip, baited up a few swims had a small Chub first cast didn't get a knock for the rest of the morning. Changed over to meat in the afternoon and sat it out in the swim that I had the Chub just as the light was going the tip sprang into life with a typical Chub bite after fighting to keep it out of the snags I had my first decent fish of the day 4lb 9oz Chub, well chuffed. Had a chat with bailiff in the day gave me a lot of advice on the beat which was appreciated.

2 Chub

It has been a cold day, around -4C all day, ice at the margins, wading a bit of a trial. Only 1 Grayling between us, caught on the float, not even a bite on the fly, but a lovely day on a very beautiful river.

1 Grayling

Air temperature minus 6 on arrival, river in good condition but I think the temperature was to extreme , saw two Mink during the day

First River Wye blank.
Numerous baits, tactics & swims tried to no avail. Even so, had a great day in a beautiful spot.

Water levels were manageable again after the amount of rain we received over the beginning of Jan. Managed to euro nymph without a great deal of extra weight on the line, point flies we’re getting down just fine in the flow. Caught 2 Grayling and one out of season Trout. All fish quickly released on barbless hooks in the net.

1 Trout, 2 Grayling

Only had a couple of hours fishing a new beat so pleased to winkle out 3 ladies

A first day on the river since October courtesy of the autumn storms. A chilly 3.5C, gauge at 1’6”, probably a little too high still, but clear.
As at this time last year, the river seemed to be devoid of any grayling today with the whole length of the beat below the bridge being fished without an offer.
An OOS brownie caught late on in the flats saved a blank.
A fine, crisp day to be out though with easy wading on the boulders and bedrock, the spates having given the beat a good clean out.
