A day filled with much hope at the start, river: perfect height, moderate amount of colour, but clearing with every passing hour & overcast. A full day fishing and no catch.. certainly made me question my approach considering another chap fishing, Connected with 5 fish landing 3 of them! A blank is one thing, but when there is a lot of action for another fisherman you do start to become confused! Great to meet both him and Chris, hopefully see them again soon.

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.
