No salmon caught or seen. River very low now. Caught 2 shad and a small trout on the fly at Glangwy, caught another shad on the spinner on the Rectory Pool and many other follows from shad. Caught a 10lb pike on the tail end of Ty Mawr pool on the spinner.

No salmon seen or caught, river very low. Caught 1 chub on fly at Glangwy and hooked two shad on the spinner below Mill Stream.

1 Chub

Nothing caught.

River quite low. Chubb caught on a nymph pattern. Two trout on nymph (hares ear). Remainder on pale dun, but these were only being taken by small trout in the evening. No fish were rising for mayfly, even though there were quite good hatches.

6 Trout, 2 Chub

River level now 9 inches so concentrated on the runs and necks, nothing on the fly early so tried spinner in the neck of the Rectory. Soon hooked nice silver fish of about 10lbs only for for it to come off after long fight, thought I had got it !! Continued on down the run and hooked another only 10 minutes later, fortunately landed this one at 14lbs, again lovely conditioned fish that swam of strongly. Caught a nice sized shad in the Mill Stream on fly later.
First time I had fished these bottom pools and notes were invaluable, thanks WUF. Although had a real struggle battling through the under growth to some pools and could not find a way through to Upper Glangwye !!
Another very enjoyable day on the Rectory.

River at 1ft 4" and still carrying some colour from Ithon. Could only fish from 7am to 9am. We tried all the choice spots and saw a couple of fish in Rock pool, but only shad and a single trout where interested in our flies.
Spectacular morning and the beat was looking fantastic.

Fresh 15lb salmon on a boyo from upper Glangwye.

Fished all 12 pools of Rectory beat. One rod with fly ( cascades, willie Gunns, Black Wilkinson etc on floating line ) other rod span ( mepps and yellow belly). One salmon c. 12lbs seen cavorting in tail of rock pool . None taken or touched. Weather dry! and warm with a barometer bouncing up and down between 995 - 987.
River - Brown and high though falling. Wading possible throughout and with studded boots - ok.
Do not know which/where gage relevant to this beat is but am certain that with less water and more clarity the results are good.
Very pleasing and accessible water and notes and map clear. Thank you
