river spot on didnt see or touch a fish

Cock fish about 15lbs from the Orchard on a Francis

1 Salmon

One hen salmon caught on Dol-Meudwy in the rain at about 2pm. A hen fish, good condition though dark, measuring approx 27 inches long, say 10-12 pounds.
The river was high and coloured but not muddy.

A lovely day on this beat, which I haven't fished before. Bright sunshine and low river made fishing difficult, but still a few fish about. Trout all on the small side, but grayling were better. The best dace was 1/2 lb! I saw some large chub cruising around. Comparaduns to rising fish, otherwise emergers, kinks and nymphs (16, 18s).

No water, and no fish !!!

The river had a dead feel to it, and I never really got going ; switching between dry and nymph (conventional, NZ and Euro style), with each method equally successful (or should that be unsuccessful?). Two heart stopping moments provided by a couple of decent sized Chub, one on a nymph, one on a dry. I have nothing against Chub, and spent a lot of my youth trying to catch them, but not what I got out of a warm bed at 05:30 this morning for

A very nice spot and great weather, if a little too hot. Lots of surface action (including some seriously large fish jumping) throughout but difficult to get the pattern right to attract much attention.

As a note to further anglers. We parked our cars in the provided location only to have them attract the attention of a herd of young cows. As lovely as they were, we did not appreciate the mess they made of both vehicles: they licked them both 'clean', causing scrartching of the paintwork; they smothered them in dung; they also chewed plastic parts of the bodywork and tried to pull screen wipers off. So, if you see any young cows in the vicinity and if you care about your car, then I suggest you leave it in the farmyard and walk to the river.

Quiet day (great weather) until 5pm and then 8 fish in an hour. First day of trout fishing with my son on the Wye. Would have loved to stay later as the rise was starting. Covered a small area of the upper beat, will return to work out what we missed.

Grayling caught on Adams and PTNs. Brown on Adams.
