Should have nymphed from the start but I didnt have a French leader and I thought it could be too tight to fling a duo around.

I set out to catch on the dry and the first cast raised a splash so I thought it was locked in from there, but didn't get sniff on the dry after that.

Fished the section from Rossett to the sewage works missing out the railway bridge since someone else was there and corn field since I was running out of time. It was on a mid-september sunny/cloudy day after recent rainfall so perfect conditions. Lots of sippy rises but they weren't taking anything nd were spooked very quickly.

A lot of the paths through the vegetation drop in immediately into pools, something I should have clocked earlier to set up a duo/indicator.

All the fish came from the sewage works pool, almost every cast had an anticipation of at least a nibble with the duo rig with a 3-4ft dropper.

Bottom of the beat again for the afternoon, 2 small grayling and one around a pound. Trout around 3/4 pound on the klink.

A beautiful stretch of the Wye. Hot and sunny - water low. Had great fun trotting for chub on light gear. Biggest was upwards of 3lb caught on a halibut pellet casting back towards the bridge. Caught another decent one around 2.5lb trotting in the fast flow at the bottom of the stretch. Really good fun. Caught four more much smaller fish on a mix of trotting from various swims and feeder fishing. Trotting by far the more successful method. Didn’t seem like the barbel were about. Shared the stretch with a nice fella (Bill) who targeted barbel in the deep pool downstream but no bite and by the time we left (around 5pm) he’d switched to attempting to avoid a blank further up stream. Lovely way to spend a day.

Tough days fishing at Courtfield as the river level was very low. I think two Barbel were caught and one lost,all of us using pellet on the Feeder and Trotting in the afternoon. Have fished here before and had a great time shame the river was low but will book again
