No more reports again from yesterday as conditions become more difficult by the day.

I wow hardly look  at the fantasy WUF website anymore but I did yesterday and put up their June report.    Now forgive me for being a skeptic but the below was part of that report written by Mr Marsh Smith.

Caginess about Wye catches -what a surprise.  If anyone knows what they are and why the caginess exists he does.

As for the travel restrictions in place in Wales well again -not everyone took any notice did they Mr SMS

" Above Hay, still subject to the 5 mile travel restriction and with low water, was hardly fished and we have only one account of a fish lost. The most upstream fish came from Whitney Court and together with a second fish from Luggsmouth brought the total for this reach to two.
A degree of caginess about catches – most unusual for the Wye – coupled with low numbers of anglers visiting might suggest that the river was short of fish. This is far from the case. The respectable run of 2 sea winter fish was augmented by the appearance of grilse during June. There was plenty visible and some bigger ones too: a couple of 20lbs fish from Bigsweir were topped by a 27lbs fish from Wyesham."

Well the bottom beats did not seem short of fish as suggested but now they are spread out its clear that numbers are pretty slim.  Seems we might have to wait until the autumn upstream pre spawner bashing to get any idea what's available to this years spawning.

Nice fish from the Nyth   Fondest memories of the beat and the people involved.
