Beautiful day but very bright. Enjoyed fishing the pools but no takes.

Very beautiful day but bright. Small amounts of fly life only and occasional rising fish. Saw a mink on the far bank.

Beautiful day, but perhaps too bright for the fish - just had a couple of small takes on Klinkhammers.

Overcast and muggy , water lever quite high which makes it difficult to get at the river on this beat . However found some promising areas an landed my first fish of the season, very handsome brownie on aPTN below a Klink.
Caught a tiddler a short while later then a 8oz Grayling also on the PTN. No hatch and no surface activity

no fish

After looking forward to a fishing trip with a few mates to the Wye, I unfortunately did my back in and couldn’t make it. My friends managed a few small fish, hopefully I will be there soon.

No sign of salmon activity while it looked a perfect day. Only a trout on my cascade fly again.

Slowly dropping through 1’9” with clear water. Nothing seen or moved. Sunny/overcast. Fished til late.

Warm and sunny at Ty Newydd with quite a few olives about between 11am and noon. Four trout to 14" and a 12" cock grayling all on a black spider fished high. An enjoyable session despite much early season clumsiness.

Great to be back here after a couple of years absence. I broke my time in two fishing a couple of hours in the morning and then again in the afternoon. I was relieved when I got there to find the river was very fishable as judging by the roads there had been heavy rain over night. The height was 1.34 on the Erwood gauge.
In the morning I concentrated on the medium paced water without anything then eventually landed an 11 inch fish after trying some fast broken water.
In the afternoon I fished all water speeds getting two trout quickly, one 6 the other slightly bigger. The chub was of a nice size and probably a touch over 5lbs. I was working a sculpin pattern around some tree roots when I hooked some obviously fairly heavy. Unfortunately not the large trout I had hoped for but still very welcome.
All on a French leader.
I have ordered some new studs for my boots as I’d forgotten just how challenging the wading on the rocks here can be.
Even though slow going a very enjoyable day.

Thanks to the foundation as they gave great advice on best practices when fishing the Wye and Edw on the same day. I ended up using different waders and net and then sterilising my boots between rivers.
