No fish caught 1bite all day don't think they're putting many fish in because not many going there,need to get the ticket machine's back then more people would go fishing ????

Cruel N.East wind and broken sunshine on a low river. Lovely beat with a variety of pools, runs & flats. Didn’t see any rising fish until midday. Good hatch of March Browns in the sunshine along with some LDO’s . Fished duo and nymphs early on then switched to dry as fish started to rise. Landed 4 and lost 2 good fish on dries, one on a March Brown spider. Challenging day but good fishing.

A bright blustery day . Water level and clarity perfect for the fly . Unfortunately no salmon
Some lovely pools . Shame about the planks on the bottom beat where the floods have moved the concrete. Making this difficult to fish the two pools . A beautiful section of the upper Wye .

Sunny day with some cloud. With a cold upstream wind. Very slow hatches of LDO and March Browns from noon onwards. Successful patterns were jinglers and March brown emergers.

River around .9
Very clear
Conditions looked good - beautiful weather but with a bit of a nip from a N/NNE wind
Quite a lot of sun on the river as the day progressed and water level falling
No fish caught - no takes and no sightings
Had a great day though
Lovely beat

Sunnier day, a bit warmer and more flies but still little surface activity. Three small trout.

River 0.9m dropping slowly and surprisingly clear. A lovely day albeit with cool downstream wind making Speycasting quite challenging at first. We all improved as it dropped and close season rust reduced. A very social gathering although we fished quite hard. No trout or salmon showed and there was a moderate hatch of Grannom in the middle of the day. No Olives or March Browns. There has been a shift in the river bed on Upper Rock as described by owner Barry. This has resulted in less trip hazards and made wading in this spot easier. Beat scenic as ever and plenty of pleasing flywater.

Nice and quiet today had 4 in bag in all

Proper silver Wye Springer of 15lbs caught during an organised Sportfish tackle demo put on for 30 members of the Midland Fly Fishers on Thursday. Water looked perfect but sun very bright with strong upstream easterly wind. Got bored with casting a bit of wool so tied my favourite fly on to cover a known taking spot. The rest is history.

Fished from noon, and from them into early afternoon there were some flurries of March Brown. Caught three trout in that period, all to rising fish, two were beauties up to the 2lb mark. Fish all in beautiful condition, not a mark on them and had obviously been feeding well recently - very plump. Once the March Browns stopped it was much quieter, still got a couple of bites but the middle of the day was definitely feeding time! Beautiful on the river today, sunny conditions and many of the birds are back - lots of swallows, house and sand martins hawking over the river again, willow warblers singing on the banks and a couple fo green sandpiper too. Japanese knotweed is getting worse at both ends, beginning to spread - whacked some of that on my way through as well as the Himalyan balsam (but was careful not to take any splinters with me!)
