7 BTW upto an impressive 13". Fished Klink & Dink. Most fish came to size 18 pheasant tail. Very enjoyable afternoon.
Note: The bridge, mentioned in the map, is closed. For those planning to visit in a near future, please plan alternative routes. There is no phone signal there. It's a good idea to have offline map downloaded before hand.

Bright, warm day with the reservoir very low. The concrete features at the top end were exposed. Had a great follow right up to my rod tip in the top end river mouth from a leviathan of a trout which in the end failed to commit but left an impressive wake!
Ended up with just the one of about 8" from the place where the stream comes in by the bridge pillars.
Lovely to be out in the wilds nonetheless. I still can't believe such a great fishery is only just over an hour from Bristol.

Arrived 11.30 am with the gauge at 0.72, having reached a peak of about 1.1 on the Thursday afternoon. Water was clearing and dropping, with a visibility of a couple of foot or so, but still some colour. It looked very promising. But it was not to be. Fished the Rock a couple of times through with a size 12 Bann Special then moved down to the lower half of the Wood Stream, to under the bridge and then the Bridge pool from the gauge steps. Switched to a Stoats Tail and ran through the Rock Pool a couple more times. I had expected to at least see some fish but nothing. I couldn't find a way through to the upper Rocks Pool but having had a good chat with Barry at the bridge he is cutting back the undergrowth after the last few strange months. I would have loved a fish but getting out on the river was such a tonic. Apart from practising my very rusty Spey casting, I loved the dippers, kingfishers and the hope, the hope....

Bright and sunny conditions after midweek rain had pushed the level up. River was very coloured at start of session with visibility down to a few murky brown inches. This improved as the day wore on and the level contined to drop. We had twelve good chub all on flavoured or standard luncheon meet though we did try the ubiquitous pellet. This is a lovely stretch of the Wye, will be back when it is running clear.
