Nice day in my fave WYE beat - fished 0930-1700 - water in good order and running c1ft 9 on Llanstephan gauge so I thought I was within a shout of a salmon plus 2/3 others on the beat who clearly thought the same. Used mainly fly but a bit of spinner in the Mill stream pool but no shows or takes.

Bit sunny really and the highish water made wading challenging in places - indeed I came a cropper in the Neck of the rectory pool and fell over during overambitious x-channel wading resulting in being washed downstream ten yards or so and only just managing to save my skin. Lesson leaned.

Retired to the spanking new fishing hut (a wonderful addition) for coffee and a dryout. No salmon seen but no doubt they were lurking but despite all efforts only catch was a 1/2 lb trout that had taken my dropper.

Very bright and warm day with a little breeze, water clear so I saw little sign of the trout. Not much hatching and only saw a couple of splashy rises tight under the bankside foliage so I couldn't give them a go. Perservered with weighted PTN and landed 4 good condition 8/9" trout. Folks passing on the footpath were very pleasant and chatty, and the dog owners kept them out of the water when they saw me. A very nice day.

Beautiful sunny day with moderate Easterly wind. With water levels below 1 ft point on the Brecon marker we knew it was going to be a struggle and so it proved to be the case.

Spider and nymph fishing in some promising runs proved futile. Just a short pull and that was all. Just after 1 pm we saw the odd olive and some March Browns at the top of the beat. There were 3 or 4 fish that rose tentatively. We managed a small but fully finned brown and missed one more take.

We spent the afternoon below the flyover bridge observing some isolated gentle rises, the type you get when fish are feeding on midges. Couldn't see anything hatching. Tried a few casts and had two quick takes which were missed.

No more action, but a glorious day to be out and fantastic scenery!
