Bright conditions

Yet again the big yellow ball in the sky was too bright. All we could manage was 3 grayling to 10”. Loads of fly life, and yet we only saw about half a dozen risers. It was a struggle, but once again, that’s fishin’.

3 Grayling

Warm and sunny. Water levels dropping and good wading. Wet nymphs. Three nine inch trout.
Called into Office and help and advice superb.

A great day and the perfect end to the trout season for me. Quite cool in the morning in the shade, but it warmed up and became brighter. A good flow of crystal clear water, the level was low, but fishable. A lovely small stream beat, not as tight as some (which was nice), a really good variety. All fish caught on nymph below a Klinkhammer. Most fish were small, 6-10", with one larger. All returned.

Started at the pylon bend and first barbel was a 9.04 gem, then nothing for the next 3 hours so moved to the top end of the beat just d/stream of the rapids. Had a couple of chub but no barbel so returned to the pylon mid afternoon and had the last three fish in the last 2 hours.

Pellets ledgered with PVA bags was the method.

4 Barbel, 2 Chub

Fished all day, did not see any salmon. Leaves just starting to be a bit of a problem.

Spent the day wandering the beats. Good flow but very sunny and couldn't find the barbel.

3 Chub

Managed to get a few hours in to round off the season. Weather was much cooler than previous day, around 13c where it had been 19c, not sure if this had a bearing but did not see much fly life at all, a few off the water but very little. No luck at all on dry, did not see a rise or a fish. Towards end of session switched to beaded nymph and picked up on wbt, a bit less than 1lb. An enjoyable few hours and just as I was leaving spotted a big salmon in the middle of the beat just down from the bend, if anyone is there over next few days as water level would need to rise for it to move up stream. Thanks WUF for another good season.

beautiful day in the wye valley. A few fish seen, but none caught.
