Very hot sunny day worked against us. One nice 4lb Chub on bread.

Hard work this time, had heavy rain and thunder until mid afternoon. Not too many canoes however. Plenty of fish showing but not too keen to get their heads down until mid evening as the river rose and coloured up a bit.
Pellet and meat - the river bed still as tackle hungry as ever.

Stream coloured after thunderstorms, no fish seen. One big tree down across the stream and a couple of smaller ones making it hard to get past about half way up also livestock barriers across and difficult to navigate round. Fished from 4pm till 5.30pm when I gave up as more thunder storms rolled in!

River cloudy following heavy rain. Water level raised.
Fished using weighted brown nymph fished down and across flow. Small brown trout caught in deep pool and returned.

Fished from 9am on a nice stretch of the Taff. All very pleasant but no tugs, takes or bites of any description. Not one to give up, I decided to try the Taf Fawr. Unfortunately, (unless your a local) access to the river is difficult. Specifically, the road is high above the river, private land in between and the land around the river from dam road is private too. Therefore even though several miles were available, I fished only a little. Something of an unproductive day.

A very hard days fishing. Started at Lugg Meadow 9am till 4pm in very heavy rain and thunder using all types of baits and methods but just couldn't get any bites. The canoe traffic was very busy and frustrating, most where polite, others were a nightmare when overturning there canoes and swimming through my swim shouting and splashing. A move to bottom end of fishery was decided. Fished the 2 swims at bottom of the steps which was very snaggy and ended up losing quite a bit of tackle. Packed up at 8.30pm to return another day! No fish caught, my first blank on the Wye!

1 x small chub & 6 eels. Excellent stretch of river to but unfortunately very heavy rain and thunderstorms all day made fishing difficult. Eels seemed to like it though.

Low river.

Conditions were awful. Heavy thundery rain (following 30 degree heat the previous day). River had risen about 6 inches by the end of the day.
