How to fish it · for Grayling
When
Midday window — grayling feed best from late morning into early afternoon.
Where
Work runs and glides — grayling shoal in the bottom third of the water column.
Method
Tight-line nymph the bottom third with weighted patterns.
Kit
10 ft #3 rod, floating line, long leader to 4 lb fluoro for nymphs.
Why this works
Poor — barometric pressure is working for you, but water clarity is the limiting factor today.

Wye & Usk Foundation (Fishing Passport)
Just under 1.5 miles double-bank River Arrow (upper) just upstream of Kington. A small-stream trout fishery with good mayfly hatches — 7.5ft rod recommended as a maximum. Fishing rights retained by Kington Fishing Club, who may share the water. Grayling only an incidental catch here — this is a trout beat.
Fishing Passport, max 2 tickets/day, no dogs.

What would change the calculation
Cooler water — back toward the 4–14 °C ideal band — would lift the score and ease welfare.
A drop and clear would lift the flow and clarity scores.
The dawn and dusk windows score higher than the midday lull.
