Got down for first light and all quiet. First fish seen porpoising around 13:30 in the Vanstone. Couple of touches from the Corner Tree, Vanstone and Gabions. RC had 2 pike around 8lbs and a very well mended kelt between Corner Tree and Vanstone. BB...blank. Stayed till dark. Mention must go to WUF for the superb job they have done improving access to the left bank from the Wires upwards.

On his first visit to the Carrots fishery r.s from Coventry managed a superb fresh hen fish weighing 23.8 pounds, taken at around 8.30 am the fish was caught on a black and yellow flying C. Whilst fishing (until around 1pm) we saw 3 very large fish show. Well done Rich!!!

1 Salmon

More or less first cast and a 32'' fresh cock spinning in first pool above top island. Nice beat with 2 distinct halves - nice fly water in bottom half and deeper spinning water in top half. Early evening had a great pull on the fly nearing the bottom of the beat. Stayed connected for all of 5 seconds so still waiting for my first Wye salmon on the fly!

Weather better (warmish drizzle) 0.7m on gauge. Fished Rock with 15 footer no sign of salmon. Moderate hatch of LDOs for 1 hour at 1pm. Still only a few trout rising. Caught one 1/2 pounder on an olive nymph (safely returned}Just a couple of grannom seen at 3pm. Lovely to be out after feeling stir crazy for the last month!

Fished heads of pools with beadhead nymphs size 16. Not a sign of a rise all day, only the odd Olives trickling off. Managed 2 of 12 inches and one of 8 inches. Sport is still very slow.

Brilliant couple of hours after a significant LDO hatch on Wednesday afternoon. Otherwise sporadic activity with nymphs. Fished hard for Salmon either side of rise to no avail but will return later in the summer.
