Feedback & Reports

River had dropped slightly quicker than had hoped although the lower sections seemed promising. All the excuses came out, wind in the East, cold wind etc but failed again! Only the one reported on entire river so doesn’t make us the only I nods I guess.

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.

arrived to find river a bit high and dirty. Fished on and by dinner time it was clearing. I thought there was a chance of a fish but in the end nothing touched or seen. Another tuff long day for no reward. That's Salmon fishing

Still high and coloured.

Wash out.

18lbs fish on SHFC just as river rose for Joe Cobley

Fished hard all day, didn't see or touch a fish, water just about the correct height.Better luck tomorrow hopefully
