Feedback & Reports

A calm day with sunshine here and there but mostly cloudy. The odd rise throughout the day - but nothing to anything I presented. Switched on and off to running a couple of different types down the two or three stretches of rapid shallow water on this beat. Eventually landed a lovely trout around 12 inches on a Montana Nymph !
This is a great stretch of water - very accessible but care required as suddenly goes deep in a number of places. Will return.

Nothin happening on the salmon front, except one that showed in The Tail, despite the Usk appearing to be at a good height. I'd brought the trout rod along too and had seven nice fish up to 2lbs, all but two on dry.
There was a good hatch of what looked like blue winged olives later in the afternoon. Emerging patterns were ignored but a small winged dry fly seemed to do the trick.

A few salmon seen in the Tail but no takers.

River running high but clear. No salmon caught - couple of accidental trout. Saw one silver salmon moving through.
The farmer directed us to park in a cattle-proof enclosure by the river, instead of by the gate as indicated on the beat instructions. He said there had been problems with cattle/cars but the message to park in the enclosure wasn't getting through. Could WUF change instructions on beat sheet?

WUF Note : Please note that the parking and access instructions for Greenbank have been updated.
