No salmon caught or seen.

An interesting days fishing. We arrived mid morning to find the river up and running the color of dark tea. However things still looked promising. There was little sign of fly life so we started on nymphs. No rising fish were seen until about 2:30pm. Shortly after that we had our first fish of about 1 3/4lbs. More fish then followed, best of 2lbs, the majority were over a pound, with a couple of 6 inchers for good measure. All taken on a Tungsten nymphs. A great if challenging days fishing.

Hello we had a lovely day on the Wye. Lost one Salmon in the Vanstones at the net 10-12lb 10.30am. We had 3 brown trout and 3 pike. Will be back for another attempt to try and land a salmon!

Excellent day at Holme Lacey as usual. Unfortunately my fellow angler thrashed me into the ground catching barbel and chub throughout the day (12 barbel and 12 chub). I chipped in with a couple of barbel and a chub. Water clear and sunny conditions. Biggest fish of the day was 8lbs 1oz by my colleague. Cannot wait to come again and get my revenge!

I had a reasonably fresh 14 pounder on fly yesterday evening which had probably come up with the sudden rise, caught from the Willow Run Courtfield. The river rose to about 6" at Wyebank on Tuesday and dropped back to summer level by lunchtime Thursday. Only the odd fish seen here this last week, really expected to see some yesterday evening but nothing showing.

I only fished the first swim under the power lines, (having read earlier reports) and feel I made the right decision. The barbel are late this year, only just spawning at the end of June. I was therefore delighted to catch a real beauty of about 10lb, (I'm more interested in getting the fish back in the water than weighing it!) The chub put up a spirited show and a good sized salmon in the nearby pool was on show all day.
The barbel was taken free-lining a large lump of luncheon meat down stream, the chub on a variety of pellets and meat. An excellent day.
The parking instructions are a bit suspect, otherwise all was good from the WUF.
