Excellent day - in the end. Got only one fish up to 5pm, then from about 7pm for 2 hours there was a pretty consistent hatch, and rise, to medium olives. Got fish of 15, 16, 18 (2.5lbs) and 20 (3lbs) inches on a medium upwing thing like a Hendrickson. It was gratifying to get two big fish, which went like a rocket, after being broken in the same place by two, two weeks ago. This time I was ready, and had increased the tippet from 6x to 5x.

Very bright day with no activity, but lovely to be on this stetch of the Wye. Sadly only had time to fish the lower sections, so will be back to have another go and will fish the upper section as well!
1x small WBT caught from the Orchard/Croy pools.

Sadly only had time to fish a few hours in middle of day so missed morning/evening hatches. Very bright day with not a lot of activity seen. Lovely stretch of water and will definitely be returning to fish the whole day!
1x small WBT caught from the Orchard/Croy pools on my friends salmon rod.

It was the last May bank holiday weekend and a group of 3 families and their children were floating down the river in inflatable rings - can't blame them as it looked like fun. It didn't affect us too much - we went upstream of them and they left after a few hours.
