Lovely conditions. Water at 1'10 in the morning and dropping very slowly, perfect clarity.
Great to be out and spend time with two highly experienced anglers and thoroughly nice chaps, Joe and Gordon - I learned lots of tips. Also nice to meet Creighton and his friend later. We all fished well, but nothing caught that I know of. I popped up to another beat in the evening and had some luck there.

Wonderful day on the Wye. What a magnificent river and what a magnificent springer. Fishing out the tail of the rock pool at 2ft on the gauge. A 1 inch snaelda caskade tube did the trick. A relatively gentle, but solid take and then off it went like the Flying Scotsman! A very special experience to catch a Wye spring salmon with birdsong filling the air and bluebells on the bank. I was warned by a wise man that this spring salmon lark is addictive. I am already planning the next trip to the Wye although I fear for the future of salmon in the UK what with climate change affecting sea surface temperatures and big reductions in marine survival. Will my boy be able to catch a Wye spring salmon when he is my age....? Well if the Wye and Usk Foundation have anything to do with it, what with their stirling work, then yes with luck. This 9lb salmon was very fresh and in great condition. No other fish seen or touched all day. A torpedo. Carefully returned and it went off like a rocket! Thank you WUF for a day in heaven.
