Water in good condition and level also good.
No sign of any fish!

River very low and clear, bright sunshine. Two decent fish on dries, nothing on the nymph despite some very fishy looking water. Trickle of flies hatching, perhaps half a dozen rises all day.

No fish caught.

A beautiful stretch of the river Wye, with seats all along which made for a very relaxing day, unfortunately no trout caught only two out of season grayling on the dry fly and then one fish lost, not sure if this was a trout or not.

Had a pleasant few hours at Gromain, but yet again no Salmon. Caught 3 trout on a 2" Silver Rat tube fly, one in excess of 2 lbs (all returned). The river is getting quite low but at least the possible lies can be seen
There was a small hatch of Large Dark Olives with very few rises to them.
Still I enjoyed myself, and look forward to the next flood

River running clear, no sign of fly life. All trout taken on green nymphs .

Could not fish the main part of the lake due to nesting geese and swans, so fished a little pool just where the island starts. When the swans stopped nicking everything I put in, it turned into a good day. Friendly heifers so watch your kit LOL. I tried lots of things to start with but found the normal yellow corn and pellets work best and got me 4 carp through the day, all between 5-8lb, all caught on float with the bait about 1.25ft (the lake is really shallow here). The lake is really silty so end the day with a method feeder and a white chilli chocolate wafter floating about 2inches of the bottom, I put this as close to the beginning of the island as I could and within 5mins it was off. I had to play it hard because it was headed straight for the snags, and all was going well until it come off LOL. After winding in, I saw that the size 14 hook had been bent straight, so there are some nice fish in there and I will be back. Spent the rest of the day enjoying the lake and its surroundings but no more bites. All in all a nice place to fish.

First outing of the year on the river. 5 wbt to goldhead ptn. A couple of tentative rises but not warranting a change to the dry.
