Would have liked more trout, but had a wonderful day.
All caught on euronymph rig

Only fished briefly but blown away by beautiful scenery. Very little surface action but several large fish seen via Polaroid’s. Only one brown trout caught on a beetle.

What a day, the sun shone from dawn till dusk and the river looked good for a fish, still falling after the deluge of last week with a tinge of colour, I was confident today might be the day I catch my first salmon as I entered the water.
Less than half an hour later I was into a fish, a good tug sent a shock up my arm and I was into my very first salmon, what an adrenaline rush! The awesome power and speed of a salmon didn’t disappoint, it also showed itself more than once but after about 3 minutes it came off leaving me shaking like a leaf.
I did have a good trout later in the day but I’ll have to wait a little longer for my salmon. A fab day, thank you.

1 small brownie.... At this time of year. What was I playing at!? 3 hours fishing.... 6 hours sitting on the patio of the lodge soaking up the surroundings. £25 well spent in my opinion. Single fish fell to a mayfly pattern, but had a few tugs from others on nymphs. Fabulous fabulous day. Thank you so much Wye & Usk for making beats like this available.

Fantastic day on the Abernant beat. One 10lb salmon from middle of Lady Alexander pool on fly at 11am.
5 trout up to 2lb- all returned except one.
Excellent access to the river and stunning surroundings.

It was touch and go as to whether the Wye would be fishable today and, although the Erwood gauge was reading 1.7m, the river was dropping and the clarity was improving. We therefore took a chance and forewent requesting a wash-off. I fished rapalas on the lower end of the beat and had two trout. Neither was weighed as I wanted to get them back in the river but one was over 1lb and the second was over 2lb. Many thanks to the beat owners for improving the path to the top end of the beat.
