The water level had dropped by about a foot overnight but it didn't help with the salmon - I didn't see one all day despite casting a fly in almost every pool. However, I did catch 3 small trout on a size 12 posh tosh then a 1lb chub on a Ally's shrimp after lunch. My first trout and chub on salmon flies!

3 Trout, 1 Chub

IT's been a bit lifeless on the river recently, including salmon-wise. I hooked a good fish which snapped my line, and another I didn't expect which took and got off.

On the bright side, I bumped into Jeremy Wade! I wonder what 'River Monsters' he was searching for on the Wye... !

River high and water coloured. Did not see a fish all day!

Did not fish due to work commitments.

Low water (9") and bright sunshine. One 85cm 12lb slightly coloured hen caught in the Mill Stream on a size 12 Silver Stoats Tail.

1 Salmon, 1 Trout, 1 Grayling

Nice august day to be on the water but river slow and no sign of salmon.

Always lovely to get on my favourite stretch of the upper Wye. Due to a family medical emergency wasn't able to take up my rod until about 3pm but had a nice few hours till I had to dash home. Met and introduced myself to the other rod, a visiting angler from Angelsea who had just caught and nobly returned a 10lber just as I arrived and said that another angler had recently been through all the pools with a spinner so I shouldn't be too hopeful. Went to the top end of the beat and fished down to the Rock Pool just below the bridge but nothing happening despite water being very fishable. Proceeded to fish from the Mill Stream down and noted and appreciated that someone had trimmed the banks/paths in this section making them much more accessible than previously.

No fish today. River low AGAIN!!!
