Mid teens from the Heirag, silver on a #12 cascade

1 Salmon

2 salmon rods (PB, DW) and 1 trout rod (JB) – water falling slightly, down from 1’3” previous day to 1’2” on Llanstephan gauge. Given number of fish taken on this part of river latterly optimism was high – PB has yet to catch a Wye salmon – or any salmon on fly come to that. DW spent a good part of the day encouraging a half decent double spey cast from a lifelong trout fisherman – he deserved a fish for his efforts, but unfortunately none were forthcoming to either salmon rod save a 7” brownie to save PB’s blank. So as for JB with the trout rod – hay was most definitely made, with 13 grayling to 14” and 6 trout to 17 inches. Someone should have told the grayling they were a day premature! All taken on parachute ginger quills – best days trouting so far this year, many thanks. Now about those salmon…we will be back!

7 Trout, 13 Grayling

Breezy day temperature dropped to 13C in the evening. Very little rising all day despite heavy hatches of fly.
Majority of fish on nymph during the day, Beacon Beige and PHD were good dries for evening.

9 Trout, 12 Grayling

Water low and clear.Fish responded to spiders and dries. Managed 6 fish to 1 3/4 lbs. Could have been a much more successful day apart from a really strong down stream wind.

6 Trout

A very good day was had all in all. DH had a bumper occasion with 18 fish to 2lb. I fished for salmon all day but only managed 4 trout to 1lb. The day to be here was Tuesday when the water was perfect. Sadly some of us have to work! The wind was our biggest problem today being gusty and coming from every direction.

Very little sign of life at The Rock.
