We cannot stress enough the importance of making quick and accurate returns of salmon catches, even if nothing has been caught. Recording catch data is one (perhaps the best, certainly the most cost effective) way of determining the success of our river restoration works. Although affected by short term variations in weather and water conditions, the longer term data set will build an accurate picture of our salmon runs. Catch returns can be made quickly via our online form for both Passport and non-Passport waters. Most of our reporting is from the Wye. Where a salmon has come from another river we will state accordingly.

2:00 pm Llanstephan gauge now at 2ft 9” with reasonable clarity so the high water catches on the upper beats should come into play later today or tomorrow. The Usk is currently at a nice salmon fishing height for upper and middle river beats. More rain is forecasted for Sunday though.

1:00 pm SEASON START UPDATE
Both rivers are currently high and the prospects for an opening day fish are not looking promising. The Usk is dropping off quickly so the upper and middle reaches could become fishable in the next couple of days. With more rain in the forecast, however, anglers will need to keep an eye on the gauges.
