9:38 pm

Upper Wye is now down to 2ft 4" which is a lovely height for the higher water pools. Not sure how long it will be through given tomorrows weather forecast.  Beats such as the Speadeagle, the Rectory, Lower Llanstephan, the Nyth and Glanwye all have pools that will fish well tomorrow.  

9:36 pm

Ingeston: 12lb fish for Dave Roberts last Tuesday.

7:32 pm

Salmon seen moving through Glanwye yesterday. Both rivers are back in spate and are carrying a large amount of Welsh farmer's soil away.    

2:52 pm

Aramstone : 18lb (approx) fish on a spinner for Laurence Birken today. Water still on the high side with around 2ft visability. A couple more fish also spotted.

10:52 am

After 9 days of high water, both rivers are now starting to drop back and with a drying weather forecast. The middle Usk and the high water catches on the upper Wye should be be worth a cast this weekend.  

9:26 am

Both rivers have had bank high floods as rain fell on lying snow. There is more rain to come this week. When this drops off the fish will be well distributed and there is every chance the upper Wye will produce a fish or two.
