No salmon, river in good condition 4 trout on Dee Sheep Bottle tube? Another tree fallen on path up to Edw pool making access very difficult.

Wales looking its' freshly washed best and water looking good, dropping and clearing. However no salmon seen or encountered. Nevertheless a lovely day and thanks as ever to WUF.

Few olive's hatches. I did catch 6 small trout (8"to 9") on dry flies. Water level quite low. Nice day out.

Cold day, no hatch. Tried nymphs and caught 2 small trout. Before dark, some olives hatched and I caught another 2 with dries. Good streach, easy to wade. Worth considering second visit.

My first time salmon fishing with a guide. I really enjoyed the day but unfortunately did not catch a salmon. I did catch a small brown trout though so at least I didn't blank. I will try again.

Alas no salmon seen or hooked. Nice beat with some good fly water. Wish I'd taken a trout rod, there was a really good hatch at mid morning and the river alive with good sized browns. Lots of potential, will be back later in the month, when hopefully there'll be a few fish about.

Hard days fishing, cold wet and windy. Made worthwhile by two beautiful trout. One of a pound, and one of about a pound and half. Taken on grhe, both returned and in great condition.

Bitterly cold day with a nasty gusty wind. Fished for about three hours in the morning with no luck at all. Mostly used weighted nymphs but absolutely no sign of fish. Afternoon looked no better with the temperature creeping up to about 4 degrees . But there was a sudden and completely unexpected flurry of activity around 3.00. No one had told the grayling they were out of season and no fewer than 11 threw themselves at my nymphs in the space of a about forty minutes, including two on the same cast. But only one small trout who played by the rules. Mind you, the weather certainly felt like the grayling should be in season for a month or two yet!
We are staying at a very nice place just outside Erwood called The Old Barn Lodge. Very reasonable and a terrific location for a week's fishing. Just need the weather to play its part now. Dream on. ..
