Arrived at the river at 7 30 with BS, river looked in good nick and a tad higher. Brian fished the fly down first with me second but nothing , we then got the spinning rods out, I went right up the to the rapids at the top of the pool 4th cast and bang, yes I thought first fish of the year, sadly not to be but a great looking Chub and at 4lb was looking good.
We moved down to the Mill run, I went first this time fished an Alley shrimp with nothing touched. Brian came down with a single Usk Grub and bang, into a 16 lb lovely fish. I was gutted. We let the pool settle before I went back up to the top of the run and started to spin with a small rappala. Same place that Brian had his fish and BANG it was a salmon this time, 20lb of pure Wye muscle, returned strong. Fished the Rectory pool with no luck but the one fish will do me.

River low and clear, weather was changeable, starting off cloudy, then sunny finally a thunderstorm.

The fish were in a feeding mood, sadly I wasn't on form. I fished dry fly all day and despite having dozens of takes, and at least a dozen hooked or at least touched, I only managed three trout. I just couldn't keep them on the hook today.

Despite this it was a nice day out on one of my favourite beats, despite getting soaked on the way back to the car.
