Final day and despite the river being cloudy and up at 1.8m had to give it a go before putting the trotting rods away . The jolly green giant did the job just a couple of feet out from the bank in the slacks . 4 of the grayling were over a 1lb , whist the Trout have certainly plumped up ready for the fly lads and lasses

2nd day of the end of season session for the three of us. The river was falling still but plenty of water in so had to find the slacker water at the bottom of the beat. A couple of barbel to 8.5lb for our youngest member who was made up with beating his pb by 3lb! A tough days fishing but always good to be on the Wye.

Good day out, weather very windy making it quite hard to cast the flies, trout were going for the blob once you found them.

We were the only ones Fly fishing, I had 4 rainbows and one small brown (which was returned). Everyone else was fishing power baits.

River falling but still very high and pushing through hard. Found a couple of swims where there was a little less current. First produced nothing in two hours. First cast in second swim resulted in a good barbel bite. Fish hooked and played for about a minute then it found refuge in an obstruction on the bottom and that was that. No more bites in next hour and a half so packed up early. Disappointing end to what, for me, has been largely a less than successful season. Roll on June!

Level quite high, 2m on the Ross gauge and coloured. Struggled to find many places to fish due to the high banks. This is not a good stretch to fish in high water conditions due to the dangerous banks and lack of sheltered swims. Had one Chub in the morning and a single barbel in the afternoon. Fished for 8hrs for just 2 fish.

River was bank high but running almost clear, making wading dangerous as well as the water being cold. A few midges about and I saw two or three large dark olives as well as rising one fish close to the bank in slacker water. The only trout, at around 12" came to a tungsten beaded hairs ear on the end of a team of wet flys. Several other tugs and bumps to the wet flys but all in all a good day considering conditions and how little of the water could be accessed when it is that high. In a few weeks it should be amazing.

River was well up and coloured but managed to land three barbel and a chub, including a barbel on the last cast of the season. Cracking fishery although the drive up the hill in the wet was a little fraught
