2 Trout, 1 Chub

Caught a 2lb Shad at the Stream, just outside the fishing hut, on a salmon lure.

I had no luck at the Rock pool, so tried a small buzzer on a light trout rod and caught 3 lovely wild brown.

Tricky fishing but very enjoyable- hut could do with a clean up.

Despite the one foot lift in the upper river earlier in the week, the Llanstephen gauge was back down at 8" by the time I pitched up at riverside at The Rock at 8.30 am. The water was clear, even if would have preferred another foot. The Rock only gave up a feisty brownie on my Usk Grub. Fished down through the Mill Stream and into the Rectory Neck. Not a peep. And the blazing sunshine probably didn't help. I fished these down a few times and was off by 1pm for the long drive home. Two other anglers were booked for today but I didn't see them. I suspect that the earlier rain may benefit the middle Wye beats - the Upper Wye may have to wait for a more substantial flood. Beautiful though, as always.

Water low, cool and clear. No salmon seen and very little trout activity .
Sparse hatch of Mays and Yellow Sally. Dense midge hatch at midday, most pleasing for swifts and martins.
