12lb salmon caught on the Edw pool Sunday morning on a spinner

Arrived to find the water very coloured and rising but worth a shot. Tried a Spindle Fly and Mepps for an hour and half and managed 2 trout. As the water conditions worsened (visibility into the water perhaps 6" at best) my guest rod Barry arrived. He decided to plug away with a Mepps, I headed off to collect number one son from his workplace. Later that afternoon I received a call from Barry with news of a 13 lber and later a phone pic as evidence. Just shows, if you dont have your line in the water ......!!

Lost one salmon on fly in Stone Catch - otherwise nothing seen. Perhaps (because of lack of obvious holding water) this beat needs to be even higher (over 2ft), when it will become more of a spinning water?

1 grilse about 6lbs from Edw Pool in the morning and 16lb slightly tinted fish from Stone Catch in the evening, both spinning. Strong pull did not connect at Lady, followed by lovely head and tail run in front of me. Barely touched Abernant Stream, with river running at 2ft4, this pool suits only very brave ones! Thank you.

Fishing for Salmon; Didn't catch. River rose around a foot whilst I was fishing!

River very high and like chocolate , nothing rising at all. Could not get to the EDW pool very steep and slippery bank with a drop into a torrent of water at the bottom. Very dangerous indeed. Better luck next time, Blank.

My lucky run ended today. Torn waders on the barbed fence (could landowner do something about it?) and vastly limited my chances for a big fish. On the positive side I landed and released 2lbs sea trout and nice 17” WBT. Water 2ft rising to 3ft by evening. There is always another day. Thank you.

The river looked to be absolutely perfect in height and colour. But what do I know? Not a sign of a fish anywhere. My quest for a Wye salmon continues.

Conditions good. Fished all day early until dark . No fish seen or felt.
Pretty dispiriting- but that's Salmon fishing for you.

Another good day at Abernant. One salmon 10lb caught 7.00pm on a Cascade from Lady's Pool. Fished all day and had to wait until the end, but it was worth it.
Thank-you Wye & Usk.
