Stop the poaching up there in the nights and they may be fish for other people to fish with spending 33 pound For 2 of us And no fish because the people goes up there poaching during the night it's not on it's a totally waste of money time and energy went past on Monday coming back from the midlands round one o'clock and the light up with people fishing.

Despite the one foot lift in the upper river earlier in the week, the Llanstephen gauge was back down at 8" by the time I pitched up at riverside at The Rock at 8.30 am. The water was clear, even if would have preferred another foot. The Rock only gave up a feisty brownie on my Usk Grub. Fished down through the Mill Stream and into the Rectory Neck. Not a peep. And the blazing sunshine probably didn't help. I fished these down a few times and was off by 1pm for the long drive home. Two other anglers were booked for today but I didn't see them. I suspect that the earlier rain may benefit the middle Wye beats - the Upper Wye may have to wait for a more substantial flood. Beautiful though, as always.

A wonderful day on such a picturesque beat. Plenty of insect life and steady rises throughout the day. As a novice I always find this to be a tough beat, tormented by fish rising but not taking despite numerous pattern changes. Think I need some more coaching… one very large trout jumped clean out of the water 10 feet away from me. I eventually found a dry pattern that gained interest, 3 knocks and one brownie landed that wasn’t much bigger than the whitebait I had at the Seven Stars in Aberedw last night which by the way is a cracking pub and the rooms are good.

River low, clear, and the sun very bright, but a nice leash of trout for Phil Travers of Gloucester, 15.5 inches, 15 inches and 12 inches, on a size 18 Grey Duster fished on long fine leader.

Two on a PTN fished under a klinkhammer NZ Style, one on the dry. All from the deeper holes. Good steady hatch throughout the day of an assortment of fly - beyond my entomological abilities to ID them.
