1 fish between 2 rods - water very high.

Bejamin Woods aged 8, caught his first salmon on Sunday morning. It was a fresh hen fish about 7lb taken on a spinner in the Boat Pool, at Newbridge.

A good day with around 20 trout between the two rods and almost as many missed / lost. Best was a lovely 14" fish to H.W. Most came to G.R.H.E in the faster, more oxygenated water. Parr almost became a 'nuisance' but great to see so many in the river for the future!

River dropping and clearing as day went on but no salmon seen but did manage two small brown trout. Great day in great surroundings.

Caught 19 fish between us, 10 chub and 9 barbel. Another very enjoyable day on the Wye.

Nice section 1 chub & 8 barbel. On meat, bread & pellet.
Field only good for 4 x 4 but parking at bottom of section is fine. First swims fished best.

Ten fish taken on Gold Head Hare's Ear (14) and F Fly. Nine grayling to three quarters of a pound and one small WBT. River was in good order and the day bright and warm. I love this stretch of water.

Fished from about 11.00 to 15.30. The river was quite high and there was a fair bit of colour in the water. There was a trickle of small upwing flies (pale wateries?) coming off the water all the time I was there but few fish rising to them Only caught one brownie, about 7". I also hooked and lost three others two of which were much bigger than the one I landed. All fish hooked were on a gold head hare's ear. Nothing to the dry fly.

The River had coloured up and risen over the previous afternoon and night. The usual productive swims on this beat failed to produce to any great extent, I do not know why?? 1 barbel to 4lb and 2 large chub all to pettel & corn.

Got to river about 2ish. Sat out a wicked thunder storm in the car, got on the bank about 2.30pm, set up and fished the feeder with hair rigged corn and corn and chilli hemp in the feeder. A shoal of dace destroyed the 3 grains every time!! Set up the float and rod fished a single grain on a size 16 for a good hour taking 20 nice dace and 4 chub to 2lbs. From 4pm to 7pm switched to 2 10mm elipse pellet and ground halibut in the feeder and took 9 very fit Barbel to 6lbs. Bank holiday weekend saw constant canoe traffic until 5.30pm which was when the barbel came on. did notice 2 Cormorants arrive as I left and land in the big ash tree on the RH bank !
