Nothing reported yesterday, so far at least.  River conditions ok regarding levels, but a little colour in some areas.   Looking colder and mainly dry for the week ahead with easterly winds which means the upper river will really drop out.  As before beats below Hereford would seem likely to remain the best bet and the very bottom beats must come into serious play soon surely.!

LATEST. As of now, 9.30pm. no further fish reported today.
