Again a blank. Appears to be fish throughout the length but ignored my flies. Mick took water temperature at 68F and air at 62F..... could this be my reason for my lack of success?

Cool day with light rain. River at normal summer levels. Fishing slow and moving around to locate bites necessary.

Oh dear, never mind - another day chasing the elusive silver tourist, only to find that he's gone on holiday!! 2 decent fish were hooked and lost on a #14 double Connemara Black and a #14 treble Cascade. The promised overnight rain didn't happen, and that's all that's needed to freshen and stir things up. We can all come up with reasons and excuses, but at the end of the day, the salmon remains the King!!!!

Another great day on the Wye at Wyebank . Arrived at 6.30 and caught from the start on ledgered hinders elips pellets . Catch rate dropped dramatically when influx of coloured water came from 9.30 till 12.30 . We left at 2.30 after using all our groundbait . Raining most of the day . Back next year .

Fished the wooded section from mid afternoon until dark, river had a bit of colour to start with but this cleared later on. Caught barbel to 7Ib and chub to 3Ib also one eel, all on halibut pellet.

Slightly coloured 11 pounder caught on size 10 Cascade at Upper Planks about 6pm, where the flow was just about right in the streamy water, even if (at 10") it seemed a bit low for Bathing Pool and Lower Planks, etc

1 Salmon

2 salmon hooked and lost , and forecast rain did not arrive ,but still a good day on a fascinating beat.

Very nice beat, fished the stretch just up from the hut, as I'm sure most people do - going further down requires a bit of commitment - took a break in the middle of the day to have a look in the wooded bit . some tasty pegs in there, but don't be tempted to take a short cut - the wall of mud is completely impassible with fishing gear.
This stretch was stuffed with salmon crashing about - and a few barbel as well, had five and a few chub, quite tricky fishing with a very snaggy bottom. Great place to spend a day, plenty of fish about
