A second day trying for a salmon, plumbing the pools with various sink tips - no joy I'm afraid. This was a dull cloudy day, but still quite warm for March. Again trout were rising for large dark olives which kept trickling off over a long period. A few march browns were on the water also.

Just returned from a few days trying for that large Wye early springer with no success. Fished three beats Wyesham, Cadora Backs and Upper Bigsweir. A bit high and not many fishing but enjoyed all beats. This time last year had to wear neoprene but water warm, enough for breathables, even fishing one day in just shirt, in March! First time at Bigsweir and will return as some of pools looked quite interesting for fly although spinning heavy flying Cs and Devons were the order of the day this time.

No salmon seen or felt. Great hatch of LDO from 12-1.30 taken advantage of at the flats with a CDC olive.

River looking good but should have been here yesterday ! (When trout were rising freely on a warm day) Much cooler and only saw 5 olives hatch all day and just one riser. Spent two hours swishing the cobwebs off the 15ft-er, great to be back. Switched to trout Rod for a few hours and had a fit 1 1/4 lber on a Waterhen Bloa.

First time out this season, and we were met with ideal conditions on this very attractive beat. Sadly, the fish eluded us, and after a long day - trying every method we know - only 1 trout came to the net. Be back in a couple of weeks !
