Members of the Welsh Rivers Team fished a very low river here on Sat. Quite a cold day, coupled with a strong wind meant the river was at times carpeted with leaves, difficult conditions to say the least! A good hatch of Large dark olives around midday however, had some fish looking up, and quite a few were taken on dries. Other than that, klink n dink, and nymphing methods produced the bulk of the fish. River badly needs a good flush through!

I would like to thank Shaun and pals for their French leader coaching, really helpful. Fishing was a little slow, in spite of what looked like perfect conditions, but I did manage 5 grayling biggest 2lb, all on tungsten bead heads.

Fishing hard. River was low and clear, needs a good rise.

River fairly low but another great late October day. Many small grayling coming to a size 18 Griffiths Gnat and a Para Dun kindly given to me another angler. Picked up 4 good Grayling later on from the tail of the pools on a hotspot PTN, biggest around 16 inches and a good out of season trout. Learning more every time I fish the upper Wye from other fisherman and my own experience. I look forward to next year.

Lovely to be back on this most scenic and accessible beat - lots of small fish rising with which I consistently failed to connect. Had a good out of season trout later on a hares ear nymph. River fairly low today.

A lovely autumn day but a strong breeze made casting difficult at times. Started out fishing duo style with dry and nymph on the dropper, but getting no takes at all on the nymph, so switched to dries only. Although few fish were rising, the did come up to the dry fished over likely lies, and finished the day with 11 grayling, mostly in the 12-15 inch size range. A satisfying days fishing in beautuful surroundings.

Harder going than expected as I had a very good day here last year. Fished Masses Creek without a touch so moved down bekow the island and found grayling in the pool there. Could only touch them on wets, March Brown being the most successful though I missed one on a dry. None of the fish exceeded 10", they seem to be a bit smaller this year.

Had a good day with 8 good grayling and 2 out of season brownies, had 1 to czeck nymph and the rest on the duo, most of my success came from the lowest beat as the river is a little easier to wade. Great day
