Fantastic day on this lovely stretch of water. Water levels were low which enabled ease of wading but the bed rock was very slippery. 6 WBT caught, mostly small, but one rather nice fish of 10" long. Will return.

15lb salmon caught on size 8 double Tosh at approx 0915hrs from bottom pool Wyebank - I was certain there would be fish in the bottom pool, despite it being fished a few times with no takers, and was well rewarded. I waded the wharf pool to find that after owning this water for over 18 years my work to enhance the wharf pool in 1994 was finally showing fruit with a 10 yard slab of yellow limestone bedrock having been cleaned of gravel and stone in last winter's flood, to make a wonderful lie and nearly a foot deeper. As I waded towards the top end of the pool with 4ft of water at 4" plus below summer level, a big 20 plus salmon turned out of the lie and swam slowly away downstream past me. An awesome sight.

Cold until sun broke through around midday then intermittent hatches throughout the afternoon MB,Grannom and small olives. 4 to 12" on Elkhair and tiny goldhead. Saw many large grayling feeding on olives by the village.

Nil sorry to say. Conditions not good, low water, bright sun!

3 fish all returned. The morning wss very foggy with low cloud and we actually drove past the lake without seeing it!
By about 12.00 noon the day had cleared and we had lovely sun and a clear day. The scenery was wonderful and we had the place to ourselves. The fish were a bit quiet and were not easy to catch although I can well believe that on a good day people catch lots and lots. Thank you for the tickets. I shall visit again soon.

3 brown trout, best 12 inch. Some grannom but trout not much interested.

Great day with AK from Ludlow. All in all 7 trout between 10 and 12 inches on a mixture of dries and nymphs. There was indeed a quick flurry of March Browns (Yes, it was the real thing) which the fish very quickly turned on to.

Little moving and only one trout encouraged to rise. Low clear water but lovely day.

Blank. It's early in the season, but with the current heat wave on it's difficult to tell what might be going on. I thought I would go and have a look at least. I didn't see a rising fish, nor anything much hatching. A nice walk up the beat and a chat to other rods.

What a difference another day, and a guide make - a quite fantastic day, Kim Tribe took me to part of the beat which I have not fished before, and put me right onto a massive hatch of grannom. I had 9 fish in 40 mins without moving my feet, and finished the day with 12 fish:- 8 trout and 4 grayling all between 3/4 and one pound. I just grabbed a couple of days away, staying at the Caer Beris as usual, but didnt have time to fish the river there - too busy! Cant wait to come back in the summer. Thanks to all concerned.
