No salmon but one trout 3/4lb and one chub 5lb both on salmon fly, the latter got the heart pounding for a second. Did see a few salmon before the boats started to come though but all went dead.

We fished on and off all day with 2 barbel and a chub for our efforts. Static and roving approaches, mixture of baits - the barbel just didn't want to know. They spawned in April so unless they have had a second round of it then it was inexplicably quiet. Lovely to be back out bait fishing on the river.

Fished for 4 hours - water still has a slight algal bloom but a good flow meant it was very fishable. Caught and lost 2 shad, saw a few salmon moving, wish I'd had all day even if a bit cold.

So takers.

River very low, no salmon seen. One chub taken on a Silver Stoat. Banks overgrown making access difficult.

Nil return.

Not fished the Wye this time of year before, but was pleased with the results, although not as hectic as it can be in the warmer months. River low and fairly clear, just a hint colour. Two pike of 8lb and 17lb, both to big plugs then had a go for the barbel, ended with three to 8lb and six chub to 4.5lb on pellets. Thanks WUF.

Slow start but 2 barbel late in the day- 8lb 8oz and 9lb 7oz. Both fish to pellet. Thanks to all at WUF as always. Also good to see EA baliffs out checking rod licenses.

I finally managed to land my first ever Salmon from the Vanstone pool.It was a kelt in poor condition with damaged fins. Weighed seven and a quarter pounds. Returned after a lengthy resus and a salute from me. Took a yellow Flying "C" around 2.00 pm.

Three chub to 4.2. Breadflake.
