No catch water very clear, no fish seen on surface or anywhere else, but relaxing day.

A very enjoyable day, many thanks.

An early session. Very cold early on, river steamimg for an hour or so after the sun got up. Started with a sinktip and larger fly, changed later on to a full floater and smaller fly. None of this made any difference. A beautiful morning however and no canoes before 11.40, some sort of record.

1 x cock salmon 32 inches on Black and Yellow tube. A nice fresh, silver fish, rather marred by partly healed gash on the shoulder. Sunny and quite warm, with some downstream wind to trouble the casting at times, but nothing like the very strong cold wind which has made trout fishing on the Usk somewhat difficult this week. Also a huge hatch of grannom sedge, bigger than I have seen this year - need to keep mouth shut!

A lovely day; the river at just 1 foot with fish rising to march browns and occasional grammons. Fishing a wet march brown I connected and landed a superb 17" brownie; a few casts later within just a yard or two of the first I had another of similar proportions on the same fly, unfortunately this one threw the hook just short of the net. Both fish took 30 yards of line before coming under control. My last fish of the day was 12 inches and also in beautiful condition; all quite an experience and testament to the quality of fantastic brown trout to be found in the Wye!

Don Macer-Wright was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable with an infectious enthusiasm that made it a great day - no fish but that was probably more down to me than the beat!
