Another over cast day but plenty off water to play in. Started at Bridge pool Czech nymphing size 16 with GRHE point & emerger on dropper. Got results first few casts and picked up 2 Grayling. Moved right up to head of river and hooked into a large Trout which danced off the hook. Moved up to Spring Pool and manged to pick up a good 10 inch Grayling. Finished off the day back at the bridge and changed point fly to Green tag. Picked up 2 small Trout for my troubles. Enjoyed the whole day but be careful on those rocks.

2 Trout, 3 Grayling

Good water level, and even good colour, surprisingly, as rain was only the day before. There were a few hatches of blue olives and I saw a few yellow May duns.
The wind was the real problem. It howled downstream making casting near impossible. I use a heavy rod on the Wye, an 8 weight 2 hander with heavier line, but it was useless much of the time. In the few brief moments there wasn't a wind I caught 7 trout to 1 1/2 lb and lost one about the same size.
As in previous comments, I did not see a single salmon of any kind, no parr, no smolts,no grilse.... nothing. It's looking very much like the end of salmon fishing to me....

Pretty dead all day then showed a bit of life around 19.00.
Caught both on spiders. - not large but at least it wasn't a blank day

Tough day, low water and long periods of sun. One good grayling and a small trout landed on nymphs.

Did not fish, after two hard days I was deflated flat and could not see where a fish was coming from
