Just a quick hour in the river, nothing rising so fished upstream nymphs. Netted 2 Grayling to a pheasant tail. Hooked and released a couple more.

Fishing was absolutely rubbish not one bite all day what a waste of time

River was at 1'5", dry all day and quite sunny in the afternoon. Was hoping on that basis to see some fly activity but only the odd olive and two rises seen. All fish on either a grhe or P/T nymph. Pair of mink as bold as brass - lots of remains of their mini lobster lunches too.

It was good to be back on the river again. I was full of anticipation, dampened by the knowledge that chemicals and chicken effluent have striven the salmon population and that I was unlikely to catch. The river was running a little high and the water coloured but, that said, the pools were all easily accessible, although somewhat more difficult to egress with the slippery Wye mud rendering studs near-useless! No sign of any salmon but lots of kingfishers darting up and down the river and red kites circling on the thermals overhead. All in all a most enjoyable day but, alas, no fish.
