Lovely day. Hooked a decent fish but broke off on a small dry with badger hackle. Saw a number of larger fish in the central section. Lots of swans around which needed to be negotiated around. at least 5 cygnets at present, possibly 6.
A reasonable number of trout rising at various times. Weather got very bright and sunny around 2pm and couldn't stay till later for the evening, so left around 2:30pm. lovely place.

Desperately hard day. Low water, bright sunshine, zero fish showing. Tried 4-5 swims all the same. Saved from first ever Wye blank by a plucky chub towards the end. It looked more surprised than I did.

Very challenging day, low clear river and sunny. Similar conditions to a successful day same time last year, several swims tried today on the lower half of the stretch with various methods for barbel without success this time.

Spent the day guiding my nephew with a bit of fishing. All fish caught on assorted patterns, some to his own fly tying creations, 6-11” and all quickly released. At least the same number of fish on and off. Lovely day despite the river being on it’s bones still.

Just the 1 barbel around 6lb and lost one - line severed on rocks. Very low river level as expected - fished the woodland area which had a few feet of water and although very little activity until late evening still a nice days fishing.
