River 1' 8" on the Llanstephan gauge with a little colour. Started fishing at 1pm in quite pleasant weather apart from a gusty downstream wind.
Grayling to 14" with most about 8" (and 3 shotts). Best trout 12" and one salmon parr. Team of three flies: beadhead GRHE on the point, snipe and purple and Hancock' pet on droppers. Most fish took the S&P. River rose noticeably at about 4pm at which point I called it a day.

3 Trout, 22 Grayling, 1 Other

Water was at a good height and falling but nothing seen or touched.

Fished Dolmeudwy and the Orchard late pm at 2ft 10ins approx. Water clearing but lots of leaves and general debris evident. Saw a salmon head and tail mid-stream in lower Dolmeudwy and a one jump lazily at the start of the Orchard. Mid-Orchard a salmon then made a surface lunge quite aggressively for my Ally tube, made serious contact and pulled line but then pinged off. Fished the pool down a second time with a different fly but had no more sightings or contact. By then the light failing and atmosphere becoming cold.

No fish caught or seen. The river had too much colour for my liking, but the height was ok. It was odd, not to see any travelling fish at the Home Catch, as the fish normally show themselves in this pool. Be that as it may, I enjoyed myself.

river at good height but coloured a wee bit tricky to wade saw nothing very quiet

Nice condition lively hen fish about 7lbs from the chapel catch on a small Bann shrimp

1 Salmon

Llangoed & Lower Llanstephan: 9lbs hen for Charles Tweedie on a Red Francis from Dolmeudwy

1 Salmon

Fished for 7 hours, no fish.

Water high, fast and dangerous. Basically unfishable but I gave it a go to no avail!!

Water was high and dirty, but first time on the river fishing for salmon, so too keen not to fish tried a couple of fishy looking spots, if there is such a thing in that much water. Then bumped into a guy from Cardiff way fishing at the gutter, who was very helpful, explained how to fish the gutter when the water is good, told me to try lower down. Tried down by the church/ chapel, to my surprise a coloured hen fish of 11.6 lbs took my offering and made me a very happy man. First time salmon fishing on the Wye and rewarded with my first fish !!!!. Let the blank days begin ????.
Also thanks to Chris at sportfish for his help.
