I had two fresh fish this morning on fly Wyebank. Yellow flamethrower. perfect conditions, mild, water temp mid to high 50s, overcast, light westerly wind. est 12lb from lower crib and est 14lb from bottom pool. The water has held steady for 5 days now at 2" below summer level on the Lydbrook gauge and lots of it - a different place without weed backing it up and great to fish with fly.

2 Salmon

Cloudy cool day with a low river.
The fishing was good with trout rising readily to the dry fly. A drop of rain would do no harm however.

Few olive's hatches. I did catch 6 small trout (8"to 9") on dry flies. Water level quite low. Nice day out.

6 Trout

Fished wet and dry fly and nymph. Dry conditions on 7th, but
consistant rain and wind on 8th and 9th. Although no fish caught, I still enjoyed fishing these
beautiful scenic waters.

1 Parr, no Salmon. River running very low, with wind getting a bit gusty. Still a great place to spend the day.

Regular Wednesday rod on Duke's Water. Estimated size 20lbs.

1 Salmon, 1 Pike

6 Trout, 2 Grayling

Blank. Oh my, I do find this one challenging! You need to be early, before the vegetation grows over it, you need a windless day to help you cast accurately up the tiny channel, and it should be warm enough for fish to be rising. Nothing was rising today and no less than four heavy tractors planting potatoes in the top end fields next to the stream didn't help. As before, saw plenty of fish in places, including some fat trout running for cover, but all of them seemed already to have been spooked. It's an amazing little river though, full of life.

Beautiful beat and glorious weather for sunbathing. River already getting a bit low so combined with sunshine made for difficult going. No fish seen or contacted apart from zillions of fry.

Very warm and sunny day. Never saw a salmon or had a pull all day, though did see a large pike below the bend, and a trout chasing minnows in Vanstone.
