Water clear and level dropping and many leaves falling from the trees and coming down the water- great to be out on last day. We fished all day but nothing seen or caught.
Highlight of the day was meeting a gentleman who had fished these waters for 36 years, we wished him well and hope to see him again next year when he will be in his eightieth year

Plenty of leaves but no fish

Nice, reasonably clean hen around 7/8lb on a Francis, another lost on the take. Lovely day, Rectory tomorrow so hopefully more to come before the end of the season

Quite a day today. I’m not familiar with this part of GLLR but was lucky to meet another member rod when I arrived who kindly showed me around the bottom part of the beat, despite having only a short time to fish himself. Thank You Brian.
Fished down from the gutters, easy wading at 1’ on the gauge, and it was around 1.00 when I had a solid take at, I think, the top of the Chapel. A lively still silvery hen, around 13lb that didn’t look as if it had been in the river too long. Soon after, another hard take and a similar sized fish on for a short time before it went airborne and threw the crushed barb hook. Early evening after backing up a few times, I had another take and a slightly more coloured fish lower down toward the water works, of 13lb maybe 14.
All three fish came to a #10 or #12 Usk Grub. The fish spent a very brief time in the net, swam off strongly and were in very good condition.
A memorable days fishing to close out a hugely frustrating season. Let’s hope for a better, ( and a wetter), 2022

The river was in excellent condition, perfect height, flow and clarity. We saw salmon leaping and both had knocks on a Willie Gun and a Alys Shrimp. We saw salmon throughout the beat.

What a great day.

Nothing caught fished the chapel twice, then showed another member rod, saw one fish rise . Had a text from Mark to say he had just landed a nice clean fish of around 13lb. That's me for the season

A blank day. No salmon seen. Good weather for fishing.

A member rod was most helpful in guiding me as it was the first time I have fished this beat.
