Not to many hatches coming off the wind and rain did make conditions tricky, river height was a good level we did pick some rising fish with olives fish also taken on the french leader in the tail of the pools best 2 grayling close to 2lbs

Small grayling rising for most of the day in certain pools but managed to avoid them and found a fair few fish to 15", mainly on nymphs but rising a few to the dry as the light began to go. Nearly 20 sizeable fish in the end to hand; would have been more than twice this number had they all stuck

A late start. Took 3 good graling fairly quickly - two of which were in the 16 inch class. One on a hairs ear and two on a black Dibbler. A large hatch of blue winged olives was interspersed with sedge hatches later on but no more fish caught. This is a superb and varied beat that is also very accessible. I will be back again soon.

Another hard day to tempt anything. There was just nothing rising. Tried everything but they just weren't interested. Still managed a couple though and on this beat and the upper wye in general it is just great to be there.

Very hot day and difficult to tempt much. A couple of grayling grabbed my sedges. River was quite low really which was just as well as I took a dunking. After drying out went back to meet the owner for the evenng rise but still struggled to get a take, even with a 12' leader ( although this may have been due to my casting ability). Many thanks Shaun. Decided to head off to the Elan tomorrow.

Mixed day but enjoyable as ever. Mid size grayling came to soft hackle dries and small sedge.

River carrying some colour & higher than ideal but I persisted during the day taking shelter under trees from the torrential showers & picked up a couple of trout & grayling on nymphs. The weather cleared early evening (as forecast) and I was rewarded with a hatch of BWO. Had most of the trout in the last hour on a BWO paradun.
