From the tail of the Rocks.

Lovely evenings fishing to take my mind off the referundum result. River at 1ft 2" and still carrying a bit of colour (4-5ft vis) which is near perfect for the lower half. Missed one in Rectory and netted a lovely hard fighting 13lber for my friend.

A beautiful afternoon in a stunning place. Fell in, on the way to the first pool...complete change of clothes required! 30 minutes later, In the neck of the rectory, a small pull in the middle of the river and I wondered? The fly swing another yard and it tightened up gently, Chub I thought, turned out to be a 5lb silver Grilse. Nothing further until my last run through the same pool, at the very end fishing the rectory itself and whilst I wasn't paying attention, a wonderful strong take, taking a couple,of yards of line off the reel, a cracker headed down stream. After one hell of a tussle, a snorting aerial silver 13lber came over the net. Result! Can't wait to return to this addictive beat. Thanks WUF.

River at 1ft 6" and whole beat was fishing. Conditions perfect. The 2 rods fishing during the day had landed one and lost 2. I could only get to river around 5.30 pm and settled in for a evenings fishing. Started on lower half as someone was fishing Rock pool. Nothing in Mill race, Rectory or Rectory pot, but in the run a hard fighting colouring 22lb hen ate the Bann in the middle of the pool and a silver 8.5lb cock came from a lie in amongst the boulders at the tail. In Glangwye I had a strong pull, rod up 2 thumps and off.
Went up to top and settled into the Rock pool, which had been fished hard all day. It was good: 9lb Salmon, 3lb chub, Shad, shad, and finishing with a 14lb salmon with my last cast down in the tail! A fitting conclusion to an exceptional evening.

Two salmon caught today on Rectory beat on the fly. First, late morning. Second, early afternoon. Both fish in the low teens and very fresh. Both carefully returned. My first salmon caught on the Wye! Fantastic day.

Good fish lost in Bridge Pool and one swirl 15min later. Water with some colour but cleared in pm, persistant rain and lack of stamina drove me off the river in early afternoon. Thank you.

Two small trout caught on salmon flies. River a bit low. One salmon seen below Rectory Neck but not very responsive.
Excellent day.

Booked Rectory for 4 days. River low. Hot and humid. Forecast rain absent. Fished 3 hours Tue. Caught 4 chub to 4 lb on salmon fly, all returned. No salmon seen. Did not fish for rest of week.

Caught on a nymph in the rock pool. Water low. Access to pools downstream of the Rectory nigh on impossible with the bank severely overgrown with vegetation.
