Very bright conditons and river running at a good level. All taken on nymphs, nothing seen on the surface.

4 Trout, 3 Grayling

Evening session. Good hatch of very small upwings, not sure what they were. Plenty of trout rising apparently to emergers but very hard to get them to take. Best results, as ever, just before it is too dark to see.

Fresh fish showing in the rocks and rectory but not for me today!

No flies, no hatches, no trouts during the afternoon certainly because bright and sunny weather.
Much better in the evening. Nice trouts, bigger than on the Wye.

Bright sunny day, river slightly coloured just above normal level.
Caught most fish on feeder and pellet

3 Barbel, 4 Chub

A good flow and hint of colour after last weeks spate.
Fish were rising regularly when I arrived at Ten in the pool above the bridge so I started out with a para adams size 18 landed 1 and missed another 2.
Things went a bit quiet so fished duo for a while and caught 4 on the nymph.
Had a close encounter with an Otter halfway up the beat.
Fish rising again later so back to the adams which took a couple more.

River a lot higher than expected, a good 6 inches over the salmon boards. Nevertheless picked our way where we could and managed to pick up a few. No hatch of any kind really, only saw 2 fish rise all day some 50 yards or so near the far bank.
Highlight for me was to see a very large salmon maybe around 20lbs (give or take) completely air borne in the pool opposite the cottage.

4 Trout, 1 Grayling, 2 Other

Started fishing at 2pm in the middle section of the beat, this usually produces plenty of action but couldn’t get a bite in here . Moved upstream to some deeper water and eventually got into some barbel about 5pm , great evenings fishing , weather and conditions perfect , usual pellet approach.

A few salmon seen in the Tail but no takers.

Not much happening the few hours there. Limited fly on the water and very bright conditions made it quite challenging. The five to hand all taking single baetis beadhead. Size between 8 and 13 inches with five lost near the net one of which about 13 inches.
