Well with th weather an absolute picture at six this morning , did the chores , feeding the pigs , pooch a good walk etc etc then decided to zip up to the Edw at Hundred House . . . .

Arrived at the bridge about half nine , looked superb and already alive with insect life , happy days , water a lovely level too , opted initially for small Parachute Greenwells , and started down by the bridge , the odd rise and up from the bridge ; nice pool , first six inch brownie on . . . Lovely feisty take , nice start !!!! Took a bit to really get going though to be fair , and by half ten some regular rises , often tight in to the bank , Great fun , some fish small this morning , but still a buzz on light gear . . . .

Some nice fish amongst a tally of twelve this morning too , two of the fish over twelve inches , lovely run around on the six foot , two weight rod , spot on !!!! The farmer was cutting the grass in the field next to the river didn't seem to affect the fishing too much , although I'm sure it picked up a bit once he'd finished . . . He must have startled a fox , because it came blundering down the bank into the river , didn't see me , shook itself dry and then just sauntered off . . . . Things you see hey !!!!!

Over all a cracking there and a half hours , some superb sport , and a real mix of fish sizes , lovely feisty brownies here on the Edw , and masses of insect life too , also fished a CDC and elk this morning , as plenty of sedge activity , and equally effective , with some splashy aggressive takes to it , Great fun !!!!! Shall head down here again very very soon , probably middle of next week , spot on !!!

On the river at 6.30 after ridiculously early start. As expected magical early morning on a beautiful beat. River a steady 0.70m and a beautiful tint.Bright sunshine from the off. Rock and Upper Rock are shaded so looked so fishy. No sign of salmo salar. Finished them both with fly no response. Switched to spinner and go a firm take on a black and gold SHFC in slack water just above fallen tree . Good fight .very fresh silver 13 lb cock landed and swam off strongly on release. A lovely day

1 Salmon

12lb cock fish slightly coloured from the rock pool on a small Red Francis

Water was a little higher than the last time I fished after all the rains we've had recently. Still managed to have a great day but had to work hard against the current haha!
Also managed to catch a decent sized chub which was a strange surprise.
As always, the PTN a great choice on this river when fished correctly and anything with a touch of pink jiggled a bit sends the grayling mad.

Thanks again W&UF, I still can't believe the access to great fishing you guys provide for such a reasonable budget.

Bright sunny day with just a few little clouds. Wind about 3Bft SE. I fished from the west bank and started with a wet and a buzzer under a strike indicator made out of yarn. I saw fish rising but beyond casting reach for me. I kept casting in the direction of the rises but I was about 30 feet short. When I noticed that trout was attacking my strike indicator, I changed to a bushy black dry and I got one serious strike, wich I managed to miss because I tried to set the hook by lifting the rod in stead of striking it with my fly line in the water and keeping contact that way. So, I didn’t land any fish, but I had a great day casting and one big adrenaline rush from a violent strike and all that in a stunning scenery.

The river was low, after the recent flooding.
lost a chub first thing in the. morning, quiet rest of the morning. Went to nearby pub 'Inn on the wye' for an early dinner, then returned for an evening session, where I caught 2 chub and a barbel around 9lb. feeder /pellet / boilie tactics used.
