2 brown trout 19' and 15' on pheasant tail. Missed another large trout. River was a bit low, no rising. A good day out.

A tough day which was bright and with a cold downstream wind. There were some occasional rises to the sparse grannom hatches but otherwise, little surface activity. I fished the bottom section up to Llangoed rapids with both dries and nymph, which has some very attractive water for a trout fishermen. It is also probably the easiest wading I've experienced on the upper Wye over the flat bedrock. Looking forward to returning in more favourable conditions.

Sunny morning with afternoon becoming overcast. Cool light breeze. Steady trickle of LDO and grannom, very few rises so stuck to nymph patterns. Not much in the way of interest but we managed to connect with three fish, GRHE goldhead seemed to be the preferred lure. The river needs more water to bring it to life. Great day. We also enjoyed the fly past of two RAF Hercules flying up the valley.

Light hatch of grannom in am. Very few rises. Trout took gold head nymph, grayling took blue dun . Downstream wind a real pain.

6 out of season grayling to 12" on a black spider and beadhead hare's ear. Quite a few olives hatching stimulated fish to rise fairly freely at about 10am but much less so thereafter. A stiff downstream breeze mid afternoon made casting hard work.

Blank I'm afraid, except for accidental trout. Another cold start with what felt like a heatwave in the afternoon.

This was my first day on the Wye this season due to the flooding which began the week the season started. The water was at a good height, and there was a large amount of fly life which was good to see. There were few takers however. I saw just a couple of trout but more grayling, I think they were.
I saw no salmon. I hooked a couple of trout, one of which was a good 2lb but lost both. Beautiful stretch of water. I am longing to return !
