Water high, fast and dangerous. Basically unfishable but I gave it a go to no avail!!

Water was high and dirty, but first time on the river fishing for salmon, so too keen not to fish tried a couple of fishy looking spots, if there is such a thing in that much water. Then bumped into a guy from Cardiff way fishing at the gutter, who was very helpful, explained how to fish the gutter when the water is good, told me to try lower down. Tried down by the church/ chapel, to my surprise a coloured hen fish of 11.6 lbs took my offering and made me a very happy man. First time salmon fishing on the Wye and rewarded with my first fish !!!!. Let the blank days begin ????.
Also thanks to Chris at sportfish for his help.

Unfortunately my guest injured his knee while walking down to the fishery, so in pouring rain we called the day short

Funny old day! Water perfect Height and clarity. Nothing seen or touched. Quick trip to Brecon A&E (who were superb) as my father gave a side 8 Bann the thumbs up (literally) and returned to a coloured rising river.

Hooked and lost a salmon in Dolmeudwy---small Red Frances

Not a bite but probably owing to my skills rather than the river.

1 foot 9 inches and fairly clear. Everything looked good, but nothing seen or touched. Raining now, so no doubt the river will rise quite quickly and there will be some new opportunities.

After an early start from east london I managed 5 hrs on the beat fishing till dusk. One trout was all I caught, two salmon seen in the last hour but no luck. I'm pretty sure the boat is in a different place to on the map which caused some confusion heading from the top downstream.

1 Trout

A quick hour after work and a nice 6lb grilse from the Orchard on a Airflo Skagit with a T10 tip and a Francis
