Nil. Strong downstream wind made it difficult to cast and control line. Then persistent rain added to the misery so I surrendered late morning and moved on to Hergest,Edw.

Never saw a fish all day.

3 trouts (Small)- nymph

First fine warm day after bitter cold .High expectations,yet virtually no fly hatching and hardly a rise seen all day.Just one trout of about 3/4 lb on klinkhammer.

A pleasant but challenging day. River running fairly high and coloured but fishable. Working hard with deep nymphs all day, managed 2 WBT both around 9ins and 2 Grayling of similar size. A nice beat with very easy wading.

Fished from 6.00am till 12.00 noon - beautiful, tranquil amazing. You must offer some of the best wild fishing in the world.
Started off in the morning the water was around a foot above its normal level and also coloured up a wee bit. I fished nymphs up stream and czech nymph style and managed around seven grayling (small around 6/7 inch mark, fin perfect) great to see lots of young grayling. Also three brown trout, one of which was over a pound, a beautiful fish.
Thank you for a great weekend.

Just to let you know no fish caught on Thursday R.H

Sadly I couldn't choose the day of my visit to the Lyepole beat as I had to fit it around work. The weather was beautiful but unfortunately the river was very high and coloured. Wading was unsafe and the fishing was impossible. Tried everything but a nil return. Still beats work though! A good hatch of olives late on but only I could see them!

The only thing I succeeded in pulling out of the river was a lamb which had become trapped in a muddy bank near the weir. Pleased to say it was reunited with it’s mother. (Can I claim the first lamb to feature in a WUF catch return? I forgot to weigh it!)
The river was as full as I’ve seen it but reasonably clear. Little in the way of hatches. I only saw one fish feeding which I hooked (GRHE) but then lost.
The Wild Garlic was pungent (especially after a heavy hailstorm) and the Bluebells are beginning to show.
