A difficult day today, weather mostly overcast and cold with a brisk wind at times. A gorgeous place to be but neither of us caught today. Back in May so hopefully things will have warmed up by then.

Lovely day on my favourite wye water - good fishing height and great to practice with a new switch rod. No salmon seen or caught despite decent water height, though I did manage a small brownie so not a blank day. Will be back again in the summer to cover the hotspots once again and hopefully more fish around.

Couple of hairy moments wading the top of the Mill Race - Do exercise caution. Note to other fishermen the shop in Boughrood does coffee, but is closed 1-2. Pub the other side of the bridge was closed : (

It was a lovely stretch of river but it was a shame that the river was really dirty; there were plastics, empty cans and other litters everywhere. After an hour of fishing I packed up.

WUF Note: With regard to the litter, Merthyr Tydfil Angling Association work very hard in removing it from their stretch of the Taff. Unfortunately, it is a curse on this and many other urban rivers across the UK but please be assured efforts will continue to clean them up.

I fished the lower section in the morning , no sign of fish or insects..saw goosanders and a mink. Gave up around midday , too early in the season I guess.
