Another nice fishing day in this beat. All good sized trouts (30-45 cm) . From 10am to 15pm. All with small dry flies. I will be back this autumn. Had to leave when fish was still feeding

7 Trout

A beautiful day but sadly no salmon! Trout were rising about midday so I grabbed my trout rod and caught a few on The Flats and hooked what I think was a large grayling on a Usk Grub just after lunch - maybe 2 or 3lbs.

Maybe I'll catch a salmon tomorrow!

Two of us fly fishing for Salmon, with resident gillie Mick. He did a great job of guiding us to all the fishy famous hot spots. Lovely well maintained fishery. Water flow good gin clear, but no sign of any fish. Bright hot sunlight did get a little bit over tanned. Will definitely do this again. Off to the upper Wye tomorrow. We are staying at a beautiful self catering accommodation called Riverside Cottage at Lower Eason Baset. It is well located for fishing lower middle and upper Wye. No drive more than 40 minutes. Our wives are having a good time visiting many interesting places each day.

Went for an hour with fly just on the dusk with it being to sunny most of the day went down the bridge pool second cast and bingo salmon 15lb .

Went after work and nothing was happening at all until about 7pm, at which point there was a proper evening rise - fish everywhere in the bigger pools and deeper runs. All on dries (is it almost summer, finally?!) olive klink probably took most but size 14 hare's ear DHE was popular, and took a few on a Grey Wulff. Mind you, I think some of them would have taken anything. All 4-9inch and returned safely.

Tough day - very hot and bright. A blank for me, and 3 fish managed by my companion - clearly the better angler. A terrific beat, beautifully kept - certainly one to come back to.
