23rd August
Rain still falling sporadically and forecast for next few days. River fallen back to summer level but still very dirty and prospects poor, particularly in middle and lower river for a few days!
21st August
Rain of yesterday & last night put about 2ft of very dirty water on the gauge at Glasbury. this is probably the minimum required to encourage fish from the estuary [if the're there] to travel and only if the rain keeps going to allow the small spate to be sustained. No fish reported for a few days now, water in lower river has been almost static, but still a few anglers reported at Bigsweir, Cadora and Wyesham. Few fish now showing. Will take a day or two for river to lose its colour in middle and upper reaches!

Another fish from Wyesham last Tuesday caught by Ray Morris,9lbs and one today [Sat] of 6lbs. Both fish coloured. Still lots of silver Grilse flashing and showing in lower river but no tactics seem to work! Geoff suggests a goldhead....may try that thursday!
