Did not fish due to high temperature in the interests of fish welfare .

The walk to the river was ok fished the upstream section of the beat in the faster water
Started at first light took an hour to get any interest fished steadily until the sun got on the water it was very warm and bright called it a day at lunch time. The fish were all good condition ranging from 2 to 4 lb lost 1 better fish most likely a barbel by the way it went.

Fished from 7.00 am with gauge at 1’4”.
Too hot and bright and the river temperature rose quickly so I was finished by 11.00am.
No salmon seen.

early start and all fish came between 5am and 8.30 - lost a couple of decent fish in the rocks and snags on beat 2
-should have packed up when it got hot and sunny - but sat it out and cooked without a bite for 6hrs - with about 200 swans and canada geese my swim looked more like Slimbridge at feeding time, made it really hard work at times - not sure id fish this beat again til the younger birds have moved on.

2 Barbel, 2 Chub

Washed off Sunday, today was the Wye’s redemption. Looked in tremendous condition. Much lower level, 90% clear and cooler (and fresher) than a couple of weeks ago. Very little rising although I managed two on J G Emerger about 8am. The rest fell to a pink tagged hares ear variation, on the dropper whilst euro-nymphing in the many channels. Ideal conditions, until the sun really did come out late morning.
