Superb conditions now with fish in all the pools. Good lift of water overnight made all the difference. Sadly 2 fish lost this morning but what great sport. Had to leave early today but will definitely be back tomorrow. Fish showing on beats 3 and 4 [ thats all I had time to see.] Sad shortage of angling effort given the conditions are good. Only saw 1 other rod, hope he did better.

Superb stretch of river , very hot and sunny day though. Caught a few small trout and grayling plus a couple of decent chub. All fish on a small goldhead hares ear nymph. Very enjoyable and Terry the Ghillie was excellent, he could not have been more helpful.

4 Trout, 2 Grayling, 2 Chub

Nothing, unfortunately.

2 small brown trout caught and released

Sunny cold and just the help from the ripple on the low water, visitor Mr James Martindale took a well deserved 12lb fish from Loxters pool.The second from the right hand bank on the fly this week. Only surprise is that there was so little angling effort other than from the brief visit of one other on such a superb spring day. I tried until lunch time saw fish on beat 3 but no takers for me. The otter however dined well on beat 3 as catch and release was not his mantra. The gulls would not leave the carcass. Good to see there is no waste.Bring on more rain.

First time fishing this beat and very impressed - a lot of water to go at with some lovely fly stretches, Terry was very helpful and ghillied me into the fish - a cock salmon 82 cm x 37cm which took a Scandi Sunray on sink 2/3, gave a good account of itself and swam away strongly. Friendly helpful fellow fishermen completed a very pleasant day on the Wye in the spring, helped along with some cider from the farm shop!

Just like to take time and thank Terry for all his help, Whitney Court should be an example for all other Wye and Usk beats! Happy to say had 14lb springer its been in a few weeks little colour, spinning,

Fabulous conditions to be on the water this Sunday morning Great result from beat 5 Loxters right hand bank with a superb fish for Mr Sprinter and a good fish lost by Stuart Smith from beat 3 in the afternoon. The beat had been fished through quite well by Tim Kelly and Jim Cummings in the morning but the fish succumbed to the fly after the well deserved perseverance. Fish seen on beat 1 but no offers.

Wonderful mornings fishing, on the fly down the beat, perfect take; 20lb+ / 45" long, large girth. Mr Ward has the fly. Returned to the water; safe and sound.
