Fished afternoon after rain cleared up - from approx 3pm. No rises seen, but persisted with dry flies, to no avail

Only spent 2 hr's fishing early evening. Mill stream,tail of Rectory and the run produced the fish. Biggest Was a 1lb. River banks are very tidy.

Out on a wing and a prayer after a Wye Salmon today. Enjoyable day on the fly fisherble bits in shadow of the castle and spun the rest of the water with shads and FCs. A few silvery trout came to hand.

Gauge just right at 1.2m at Monmouth, accessible fly water fishing runs for the ford,rope and parsons stream all good provided care taken with a wading staff. Other water covered with spinning gear, to no avail with no fish seen. But worth remembering what can feel at times like cosplay from a different time has the potential with the next cast on the Wye to result in a once in a lifetime fish. That with the surroundings, comradeship and joy of the cast is what we're here for - Wonderful!

A toughie today .... Only a brief visit really, from bottom of the beat up to the bridge.....She's low and clear at Cregrina ...And actually, although a warm day waters really cold!!!
Fished from midday to half one .... Four to the net, nothing huge, best about eight inches maybe .....
Good fun, two pukka risers...to sedge that were active from about half twelve in good numbers. They're very location specific here, when they're hammering the sedge . ....... Fun hits on the tiny Cdc and Elk though ....
The other two were in likely fast riffley bits, that had visible sedge activity above them ...Great fun, but this beat will suffer like last season if its not topped up .. Lots of skinned frogs, think i counted fourteen, obviously Tarka been really busy..... and im guessing full too !!!
The quick session really was because of a recce of the far wood, to see what squirrels activity there was ...Plenty of greys on the go, time for a visit with the Theoben.... bag a few before all the leaves are out !!!
Up in the Cwm Elan with a client tommoz, great fun ... time for a well earned cuppa now !!!!
