1 Salmon, 1 Trout

Fished in the morning with the Salmon Rod, starting at the Rock Pool where there was no sign of any Salmon but did take 3 trout, all 8-10 inches, How they managed to get a double hook Cascade in their mouth is beyond me!
Saw a Salmon move on the far bank just below the Mill Stream, approx. 8lb. Struggled to cover from the Left Bank so crossed over, but to no avail.
Got the trout rod out for a few hours and took a few small fish, very difficult fishing with nothing rising of note.

7 Trout, 2 Grayling

A warm and bright start to the day was soon overtaken by strong gusts and showers. Fished through to dusk on this lovely beat, but no salmon seen. Two trout caught on a fly, both returned. The river was quite low at 1'4".

2 Trout

With a gusting downstream wind all day I spent a lot of time sitting on the bank disentangling myself, the river bank & my line. Arrived at about 10am with a wall to wall Grammon hatch, with the beasties crawling all over me as I frantically tried to tie on a suitable match; Needless to say it was nearly all but over by the time I made the first cast but managed 2 fish before all went dead. Persisted with the dry fly trying to induce a rise but in the end resorted to a weighted nymph to tempt a few more fish from the 'riffly' water.
Thank you W&U for another day far from the madding crowd.

Fished from top of beat to road bridge in the 3 hours I had. Nothing seen or caught.

Guiding the Young family. Fished late afternoon. Just the one trout about 13 inches, together with a collection of out of season grayling, on various dries. Some grannom on the water.

The longer evenings now allow for a decent session after work. Water 1ft 8" and very clear. Saw a fish in Bridge but couldn't get it to take properly. One was lost in Upper Glangwye from the Spreadeagle side.

Afternoon on the river on a glorious spring day, no salmon seen but river looked good. Hearing of all the action in Hereford it shouldn't be long before they will offer them selves up anywhere on the river.
Message to self, put the trout rod in next time, lunchtime was alive with trout rising to a half decent hatch of olives, 14:30 onwards till 16:00. Spring is here today but possibly gone tomorrrow.

Great end to season, 8lb hen fish. Another one on briefly and a great display of fun in the fast water from an otter.
