Low water (9") and bright sunshine. One 85cm 12lb slightly coloured hen caught in the Mill Stream on a size 12 Silver Stoats Tail.

1 Salmon, 1 Trout, 1 Grayling

Nice august day to be on the water but river slow and no sign of salmon.

Always lovely to get on my favourite stretch of the upper Wye. Due to a family medical emergency wasn't able to take up my rod until about 3pm but had a nice few hours till I had to dash home. Met and introduced myself to the other rod, a visiting angler from Angelsea who had just caught and nobly returned a 10lber just as I arrived and said that another angler had recently been through all the pools with a spinner so I shouldn't be too hopeful. Went to the top end of the beat and fished down to the Rock Pool just below the bridge but nothing happening despite water being very fishable. Proceeded to fish from the Mill Stream down and noted and appreciated that someone had trimmed the banks/paths in this section making them much more accessible than previously.

No fish today. River low AGAIN!!!

Fished with shfc in morning then fished the fly late afternoon early evening 1 trout caught. 1st time fishing this stunning beat. Will be back again when theirs a bit of water running. Great days fishing on a nice overcast day.

Fished the morning with shfc had my 1st ever Wye salmon from the neck of the Rectory a hen fish of about 10lb very lightly hooked. Fish was slightly coloured but in great condition. Beautiful stretch of water cannot wait to return. Highly recommend beat

A pretty quiet day all in all, a couple of trout landed and some parr and small fish lost. One or two sightings of salmon but nothing hooked.
