River at a good level but quite coloured. Had about a dozen small trout, biggest 10”. Many more bumped or missed. Not much rising but a CDC and elk brought them up plus a couple on beaded ptn.

One brief encounter with a salmon in the orchard. Felt the take and then just as quick it was off. Saw it break the surface and it was definitely a salmon, looked fresh too......next time

First time on this beat and loved it. Lots of different types of water to fish. Really beautiful location - very peaceful. Parking not too far from the river. Tried some float fishing throughout the day but no joy. All fish caught on feeder and pellet throughout the day. Two of the barbel were biggest i've seen on the Wye - must have been close to 9lbs
Cracking beat.

Don't know what to think really... After the rain over the weekend and good levels and water quality today, I suppose I was expecting to see some salmon, but again it was a very quiet day. In the afternoon some trout started to rise, but not many.

In a favourite spot, I was casting in the hope of a salmon more then expectation. I kept hooking some boulders with weed on, Getting frustrated after snagging one I yanked the fly off. The 'boulder' leapt out of the water with my fly in it's mouth! It got off of course, but it was a least a salmon.

No other sightings.

Nothing doing

The perfect day for salmon, with water .775m and slightly coloured. Hooked 2 nice trout on spinner throughout the early afternoon around half pound each then hooked and landed a cock salmon of 7lb in pool above bridge.
John landed two trout of one and quarter pound each on fly in woodstream

Gave Gromain a thorough fishing, 12 hours in total. Had a Grilse of 4-5lb in the tail of the Spring pool at around 3pm, another heavier and coloured fish was seen rolling slightly further up the pool. Due to butter fingers the Wye claimed my phone, but other than that a nice, full, day on the water was had with the river in great condition, all pools fishing nicely.

High risk strategy: taking my seven year old daughter to fish on the Wye with me..... We decided trout and grayling would be our targets and once we started to strike at the movement of the indicator fly more aggressively, we started to consistently connect with fish. Best around 12"+ so big enough to be hugely exciting for Sienna.... "the best day ever" was her considered verdict after six hours on the river!!
All fish were taken(and returned) in Lady Alexandra's in about three feet of water on a tiny gold head on the point. A few splashy rises at the dry, but nothing connected. First time back at Abernant for some years so a real joy. A pair of kid's waders is the price for such a success.... we will return for more
