Perfect weather , the river was perfect, there was a perfect profusion of flies , my casting was perfect , my sandwiches were perfect , ........................Blanked ! Not an hint do a fish all day not a sniff , nothing zilch !

No salmon caught or seen. Many WBT (16 or 17) on dry flies but all small : average 20-25cm.
Nice day out.

Bright sun and low river levels, lovely stretch but nil return.

One possible take from Lady's pool, no other salmon to report. As usual, two hours with trout rod resulted in 5 oos good size grayling and 4 trout up to 14". Plenty of shad on the beat, few Lampreys gave me a bit a fright but great day out overall. Thank you!

We had a great day on the Wye, a pleanty of noisy shad, two landed accidently, Sea Lampreys present on the beat, one salmon lost in Lady's pool to other rod, 3 OOS grayling up to 19", 6 WBT 6-15" on dries. Thank you!

No fish seen or caught but a nice day out.

Fantastic day on this beat we are getting to know quite well. A fair few fish showing, most of them silver slabs. One salmon on a hitched tube - came half out of the water to engulf it! Deep sided, fresh fish with lice marks on, estimated 14lbs (from length). What a fish! What a day!

Cool day with downstream wind but persevered with various dry flies and the occasional wet resulting in 10 trout to 12" and 8 out of season grayling also to 12". Most were closer to 6" though! Thanks to the previous days excellent guiding from Oliver Burch - we feel much more confident about this type of fishing.

Great day. Caught a salmon of 15 1/2lb from Lady Alexander's Catch on an Ally's Cascade, 9.00am this morning. No other pulls. Lovely river. Although I'm an experienced salmon angler, I'm thrilled to bits with the catch as it is my first Wye fish on my first visit.
I feel very lucky and very privileged as I thought this would take many visits getting to know the river and various beats.

Managed to grab an evening post work and encouraged to see a heavy fish slosh in the stream as I arrived with river level and clarity excellent. Thus inevitably -apart from an occasional suicidal trout - no action at all until dark when another big fish lunged at the surface and gave me a final derisory sendoff, no doubt mocking my efforts!
Still -worth the effort and anticipation
