Spinning with a bright spoon lure in the cove opposite the dam. Caught one rainbow trout

The river was running steady at 0.9m on the Erwood gauge and with a slight tinge, albeit decent enough clarity for fly fishing. With such favourable conditions I was surprised to not have a pull from a salmon. I only saw one all day, a grilse between the Island and Rock pools. I had a small pike on a sunray shadow so that spared my blushes.

Fished same two pegs as yesterday in the faster water. Same tactics with feeder and various hookbaits resulting in some cracking fish. Although we have left it late in life looks as though a trip to the gym is needed as some of the fights were exhausting for both us and the fish! Home for a week of well earned rest before giving the Wye another crack the week following including a further visit to HCC. Good to see Andy again.

This report and the next are for 2 anglers CT and AW.

This report is for CT - A "lifetime" Wye first for me was included in the "2 other" in the catch - a Rudd - I have fished this river since I was 16 years old and I'm now 60 and have never caught one before on the Wye !

The "other" fish caught was a Dace.
