Nyth and TyrCelyn - late report (sorry!) of a 15lb coloured cockfish caught by Chris Price on Saturday in the Cafn on an own-tied Black Bull.

1 Salmon

None caught, none seen. Interestingly very little fly insect other than boatmen and almost no water birds.

Some lovely fly water but no salmon landed.

A nice warm day with a good enough throughput of water considering the dry week we've had for some not-too-serious trout fishing. Took a number of small fish and one decent sized grayling (0.5 lbs) although after years of fishing WUF, it has only just occurred to me that other people might be including these tiddlers in their catch returns (as I have done here) so perhaps I shouldn't feel so bad about not coming away from the Wye with monster fish to report as yet.!

Over lunch, I got chatting to someone in the pub who told me he used to fish 'after dark' on this stretch about 30 years ago and revelled in recalling a bag of 6 large Salmon he'd taken on a gaff (?), which he sold later on to a Cardiff restaurant. This only reinforces the importance of organisations like the WUF and their work to protect our river wildlife.
