A bit windy and rainy, but managed a few good figures at the end. Water with slightly increased level, but clear.

This was an evening session starting 7pm finishing about 9.30pm concentrating on the Rock Pool at the top of the beat. I'd seen reports of a wide variety of flies hatching on the upper Wye in the past few days and that was the case again with various olives plus midges, sedge and mayflies making for clouds of fly life above the river - great to see.
I stuck to the dry fly as there were plenty of trout rising but they were selective and the usually reliable cdc shuttlecock emerger was refused by everything. A switch to a Ducks Dunn produced a few with some more coming later to a spinner pattern.
The river is unbelievably low and with the good clarity, the fish are very spooky. Stealth and presentation is everything in the calmer water, even for the smaller fish. No monsters this evening, biggest was around 11". A few barbel spotted too.
