River about 2ft above summer level, but clear.
Moved twice till I found the fish. Managed 5 barbel and 12 chub fishing mainly maggot hookbaits.

Slow start but 2 barbel late in the day- 8lb 8oz and 9lb 7oz. Both fish to pellet. Thanks to all at WUF as always. Also good to see EA baliffs out checking rod licenses.

Several small grayling (up to half a pound) in various pools upstream of the bridge; all taken on size 16 goldhead PTN fished above a heavy nymph. Great beat. Peaceful and very picturesque.

Another fab day on the Wye. Caught 6 barbel and dozens of Chub. River quite low and clear so maggot the best bait.

2 x Brown Trout biggest 11". Tough going in blustery conditions.

I finally managed to land my first ever Salmon from the Vanstone pool.It was a kelt in poor condition with damaged fins. Weighed seven and a quarter pounds. Returned after a lengthy resus and a salute from me. Took a yellow Flying "C" around 2.00 pm.

A lovely days fishing on The Hut & Coleman Beats. Although fishing for Salmon I caught a small 1lb brown trout on a light brown and silver toby at the Coleman pool - released.

It was a cold, overcast day with only a sporadic hatch in the early afternoon. Two of us fished. I Czech nymphed most of the time for just one grayling and one trout. My friend fished a traditional team of wet flies and had a little more success taking three grayling and a trout. All the grayling were around the pound mark and gave a good account of themselves. All in all, a very enjoyable day in spite of the very cold water and overcast conditions.

Two browns - one just under a pound and one about 3.5 pounds or even more. Both taken on an olive nymph, both returned. A trickle of LDOs about lunch time but no rises and generally hard going.

Bright clear skies in the morning with increasing cloud pm. Cold SE breeze.
Three rainbows of approx. 1,5 lb in weight caught and taken whilst spinning and fishing the NE bank. Resevoir very full. No one else in the area.
