29 x grayling 6-16 inches, 3 x out of season trout 8-13 inches, trotting and Tenkara. River very clear and down now to 1 foot on the Llanstephan gauge, so quite low by mid-winter standards. Weather dull, reasonably warm, but with strong downstream winds at times. A nice range of grayling, all sizes except very large, which speaks well for future stocks.

A very cold but beautiful day.The river was running at perfect height and crystal clear, a slight upstream wind and so perfect conditions. I caught fish right from the first cast trotting maggot, the biggest Grayling was 15' in perfect condition and very solid and substantial girth. I would say around 1 3/4 lb. also 3 out of season WBT .

very cold in the water today, wished I had put another layer on ! fished the run in the middle of the beat and could only find the odd fish here and there. went up to the top end and had a bit of difficulty getting out due to water level. but in one spot I did find a shoal and quickly had a few more, and also lost three grayling. went back to the earlier spots... still nothing much happening. in the end I had grayling to 14" and oos trout to 10". its been hard work catching fish this week, and looking at other anglers reports I was not alone ! still it was great fun trying, I really love it over here in wales, and many thanks to WUF for letting me do this.

My son Christopher has wanted to catch his first Grayling for a long time. So we asked the foundation for advice ! They recommended the Upper wye at Abernant, great choice we trotted single and double maggots with a stick float and caught steadily all morning, in total we had 9 Grayling up to a pound and a quarter and 5 beautiful wild brown trout up to 12 oz .as soon as the sun came out about 12 ish ,the bites stopped,so we packed up about 1 .30 an absolutely great day ! Thanks guys for the advice,
