Wed 28 water high and coloured, nothing seen. Thur 29 water high and clearing nothing seen.

The river was quite coloured but we fished it with great (misplaced) optimism anyway. It is a lovely stretch of water. Weather rather wet until mid afternoon.

A lovely 10lb Cock salmon from the usual place at the top of line of rocks in the Mill Stream, fourth cast on #15 Usk Grub and at about 6.30pm with 10ins on the LLanstephan gauge.

1 Salmon lost in the bridge pool.

Fished from 11am till 4pm. Took 3 browns on small nymphs in Gravel Catch and 2 Grayling. Missed 2 sizeable fish or what i thought were sizeable. All fish caught were released and between 10-12 inches. Perfect day, slight cloud cover, no wind.

3 Trout, 2 Grayling

2 grayling, 9 brownies. Caught on mix of dry & wet fly inf. daddies. We found two access gates were padlocked, one at top end of beat to get access to the foot path, and the access to footpath in middle of beat near the bridge.
(WUF note: former can be scaled but builders should have left access to the latter- will investigate)

Only managed a couple of hours fishing between the thundery showers. No fish caught but several splashing about in the gravel catch.

Fished the Gravel Catch at 6.30pm when the sun had finally gone off the river and the wind had sub-sided. 10lb hen salmon took gently from a lie up-stream of the wires and mid-river. Pool looking superb with height on Llanstephan gauge 1ft 9ins. #10 Park Shrimp. Expertly landed by the dynamic duo: Joe Gooch and Ryan Saxon visiting from Boatside beat. Returned to the river with an explosion of white water.
