Last chance for a Wye salmon form this season but sadly it wasn’t to be. The river rose around 14cm during the day but the level and clarity were pretty good. I possibly saw a salmon out of the corner of my eye, albeit not close enough to cover. Lovely day out on the river and it was nice to see the owner and her husband.

Lovely morning till the freezing cold wind turned up and the bite’s stopped

River running very low and clear, tricky conditions during the day for barbel. But soon as that light dropped the barbel got on the feed, making for some great fishing. Lovely place to spend the day. The fish were in great condition from this area.

One small barbel around 2 lb and one just a few ounces shy of 10lb. Lovely day!

One very nice chub and a smaller one. No barbel today.

One strong pull from what might have been a salmon, although owner Sean who was with me at the time said it was likely to have been a big trout. Some smaller trout managed to attack the salmon fly despite all the leaves in the water. Otherwise no salmon seen or encountered. That was more than compensated for by some brilliant spey-casting tuition and tips about the beat (and many other fishing matters) from Sean.
