River was reading 0.701 at Cilmery and was probably a tad too high, but it was clear. Fished euro nymph set up but struggled with the breeze and getting my nymphs down quick enough in flow. Did manage to land 7 oos brown trout but no grayling. Most of the fish were caught in slack water out of the main flow, where you'd expect them to be if the river wasn't carry so much water.

7 degrees and overcast when we arrived with 1.93m on the Ross gauge and an 8.9 degree water temp.
2 started down the bottom and one up the top. The one up the top tried 2 swims and blanked. One of those down the bottom had one chub from 3 swims and then had 3 chub up the top (flavoured meat). The remaining angler had a great day with 2 small barbel (4 & 5.08) and 21 chub to 4.08 (mostly 10mm halibut or meat. I guess it will take until the river drops (cold dry spell coming up) for the fish to spread out again.
Still a beautiful autumn day on the Wye and great to chat with Steffen too. Thank you WUF.
