2 rainbow trout on worm, float.

2 x Rainbow Trout, caught on worm near the eastern, middle parking spot. Approx weight of fish would be between 1.25-1.5lbs.

Two small brown trout (approx 6 inches)caught on parachute adams, both returned. A number of other takes on a size 20 GRHE, but nothing successfully landed. Conditions very difficult due to strong wind. Despite this I observed some limited hatches of various olives and a few rises.

3 rainbow trout caught on the worm.

Looked at the river the night before and it was just under 2' and looking realy good for the morning, but when I got there with a rod it had gone up another 6" or so over night. Colour was still good however and it did drop back quickly during the day so I hung around and fished a bit in the late afternoon without success.

Arrived at Wye Bank at 11am, to find river approximately 3 ft up and a nice redy brown colour. Myself and my friend John fished the two swims behind the first 2 cribs, in the slacker water on the inside run. We had a total of 8 Barbel, 5 Chub and 1 eel.

Sunday 1st July - River had dropped to approximately 2ft started fishing 5pm, we had a total of 9 Barbel and 13 Chub.

Thanks to Don, very helpful.

Two trout about 14inch and two small trout all returned river was too high and too coloured for good trout fishing also wading was impossible.

Have caught seven between two of us. 2 on the spinner, 5 on the worm.

River was fishable but high. We managed 1 barbel each between 6 and 7lbs and many chubb ranging from 3-4lbs.

River was high and dropping however it was quite dirty.
Salmon seen but none interested in my selection of flies, except for a large brown trout, which I returned.
