grayling 8-14 inches and 3 small trout. size 10 grey duster parachute and 14 Waterhen Bloa, cast to rising fish. Great few hours.

3 Trout, 15 Grayling

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.

Fished the bottom of the wood and field below, started on the float with bread before putting some bait in for barbel. Did not have a single bite off anything on any of the swims I tried. River low and clear.

Great to be back on this beat and only fished the morning. Started by the Lower Planks but found the fish up in the faster water of Bachawy Pool. It was slow to start with but by 12 o#clock they were rising well, all fish taken on size 16 brown Klinkhammer. Brown seems to be in favour this year and the normally productive Grayling Steel Blues stayed in the box! I would just echo OB's comment in his report that grayling seem to come in cycles and the fish seem to be smaller this year, most of them around the 10" mark. I have every faith that they will soon grow to be the specimens that we come to expect on this glorious river.

With the weather very mild I arrived to a very low and clear river and as a consequence suspected that a struggle may be on the cards...however the barbel and chub were very much active with fish coming throughout the day all to the usual methods, tried trotting for a while but the fish appeared to really be responding to the dinner bell effect of the feeder.!
Barbel all between 5lb and 8lb and chub to 4lb A fantastic days fishing on an outstanding stretch of the river Wye.

I fished a red tag/coper john duo for 2/3 hours in the evening. Caught 1 small oos trout and hooked what I think was a smallish salmon that took off on a huge unstoppable run across the pool and promptly snapped my 3lb line.

Fished from 12pm until dusk. Great coarse fishing. Five chub and two barbel. Would recommend this venue. Easy to book with good directions on the website. Very nice surroundings. Many thanks. Steve.

River low and clear fishing hard.

The water was very low and crystal clear. We fished all day - not even a nibble.
