Spinning and wet fly. No fish seen or bites.

Beat was looking good after heavy rain two nights before. Weather warm and sunny, light north easterly wind. Plenty of fly life but very few rises (too bright?). Fished with dries because that's what we like. Took a brace of trout each. Missed a few rises too. Only problem was the frisky herd of bullocks mid beat. I'm from a farming family but did not fancy spending anytime with them. Made a very nice middle stretch of the river unfishable.

Water still coloured but dropping after Friday’s storm. Should be excellent Tues when most of us are back at work!
Had to go up to a #4 double on the tube fly and a 1/0 Aberdeen on the FC to prevent the Shad hooking up; didn’t stop the blighters bumping the lures all day though. No Salmon hooked but had a good hard tug late in the evening at the Hut.
One day I’ll fish this beat in better conditions. Oh, and the canoes were polite if heavy; had to wade like a loon at one point to avoid being flattened by one bearing down on me sideways. Such japes eh?

What a great beat, the weather was perfect and the river on top form. I took 3 perfect brownies one 6 inch,one a touch bigger, and one beast of about 14 inches. All were from the same run on a small dry daddy. All returned in perfect health.

Didn't fish this morning, massive storm last night, I have never seen a river colour up so quickly, I'm surprised there's any soil left in Herefordshire, this silt seems to be getting a lot worse on the river Wye.
