River still high but looked good, fished upstream of the Lugg so water much clearer, fast flowing so only able to fish close in. 1 x small barbel, 1 x chub, 1 x dace and 4 x eels all about 2lb (all on pellet which is a first for me)
Very sunny and hot.

Matt 3 trout to 33 cms, 1 taken, wet fly
Sam 1 trout 30cms, 1 taken, dry fly
John 0 trout
Great day some welcome sunshine for part of the day, slight breeze, water higher than normal but clear, majoriy of fish taken late afternoon

No fish caught. The river was just a foot or two too high. I saw a number of salmon moving especially on the bend in the lower beats. Because of my spinal injuries/operations it was too difficult to get down to the river on the left bank where I fished and too far to walk on the right bank where vehicle access is not allowed. I did meet the bailiff who gave me some advice which was much appreciated.
I have and will continue to fish the Wye and Usk Foundation waters when I can. I do appreciate the amount of effort put in over what must be 10 years by the Foundation. Thank Seth for his advice as I called him before I started fishing.

1 barbel on meat 9lb plus. Hard days fishing and finding the fish in the fast flow.

20th June 3 fresh salmon 11,12,12lbs. 13th June 1 fresh salmon 8lbs. Also caught 20-25 shad!

Great fishing, 6 WBT caught, all fish were in between 6 to 11 inchs long. All fish were in great condition and all returned. looking forward to fishing it again next weekend. :)

The final day of our trip to the Wye, one of our party having gone home. The river had dropped to 3 foot above normal summer levels and fell a little more while we were fishing. We opted to fish the deeper slower water in Leggs Meadow and managed 13 barbel between us on a mixture of pellets, boilies and paste. As usual on this excellent fishery the fish were of a good average size, best being 9lb 1oz backed up by several 8's and 7's.

x2 barbel to 7.5lbs caught.

One 12" brown trout on small Parachute Adams. Lost two decent graying on same. Day quite warm and river low despite this "summer" we're having.

11 trout, 9 on dry olive, 2 on copper john nymph. River high but no rain during day and level dropped 2in during the day. Reasonably clear. fish rising consistently from midday to 4pm then fell off as a low came in.
