A beautiful day to fish, this was. Warm and not too windy and with a good level of water. I fully expected to see a salmon or two, even if I failed to catch them. I saw nothing. No sign of salmon at all. I'm really worried...

Low and clear, bright sunshine. 1 oos grayling on a dry in a slower pool, 4 trout all on nymphs in fairly fast water, one very nice fish. No hatches, saw just a few small olives coming off and a few splashy rises. Conditions not easy but a lovely quiet day on this very pretty and varied beat.

Another lovely day on the Wye. Very little activity on top so went with team of spiders and a gold head GRHE on point, steady succession of modest size trout and grayling in the faster water at the bottom of the beat. After lunch moved up to top of the beat and worked my way through the fast water yielding only two trout. From 5pm to 6pm had a purple patch in the fast water at the bottom of the beat, all 5-9" trout really lively with lots of aerobatics. Great way to finish.

River very clear. Very strong wind and hardly any fly. Few rises. Dry fly caught all the trout. Nymph did not work for us. Most trout 7” to 9” with one better one. No trout killed.

Generally it was a lovely day, a bit cool in the morning but there was a good hatch of flies during the middle of the day. I saw plenty of fish rising including salmon smolts. I was trying out my new salmon gear so didn't target them really although I connected with a couple. I think I saw a salmon or two move but can't be sure. I met the other two gents and they seemed to have a good day.

Cool with a chilly wind changed to mild with a warmer wind during the afternoon. One brief hatch of March browns whilst we were on the bank with coffee and a sandwich therefore only yielding one to the dry. Almost all the other fish taken on a team of spiders fished upstream. 15 fish with as many lost. Best were the 2 grayling and 2 of the trout all in the 14 to 15 inch class, all safely returned.
