The other were perch. Fished beat 6 through to start of beat 2. One angler wading and one angler static. Peaceful beat, good in the morning but bites dried up after 1pm.

After visiting the Wye in May and leaving very despondent at the distinct lack of life in and around the river it was nice to see one or two aquatic insects and a few rising trout this time.
The river looked good for a Salmon after the recent heavy rain with it carrying some extra water and being a nice beer colour so I was quietly confident of a pull. I spent about four and a half hours slowly fishing through Lady Alexander’s Catch and into Stone Catch. It was lovely casting a fly and letting it swing through the current, I did hook a trout and had a decent tug which may or may not have been a Salmon but I’m beginning to think the whole exercise is a nostalgic trip dreaming of how things used to be rather than a serious attempt to actually catch a Salmon with the numbers being what they are.

A lovely beat on the Wye although swim options are a challenge as it looks as though the banks have collapsed on the upper stretch. All fish caught on feeder tactics and caught throughout the day.

Good day. Mixed bag of fish.

I was hopeful after a week of cool wet days, that a sunny afternoon would have produced some better activity however the quietest evening ive experienced at Dinas with very little rising.

Another ‘Ground Hog Day’! Barbel 4 to 6.5lbs. Chub 2 to 4lbs. Other eel. The barbel don’t seem to want to feed in earnest, I expect that will all change in the Summer! Many thanks to WUF and the various Landowners of the beats i have fished this season swims well strimmed and access mostly good
