A very cold and overcast day. Two Chub caught. One of 4lb 8oz and the other 5lb 3oz. Missed quite a few bites but we were happy to land two pristine fish. A lovely stretch of river. We will be returning in the summer to target the Barbel.

5 chub up to 3lb 14oz some on bread, some on sweetcorn.
2 pike biggest about 8lb on Sardines.

First and biggest chub came second cast promising a good day. Other than the pike, which I took whilst roving during the afternoon, my next bite came at 6.15pm. Between then and 7pm I had a further four chub and missed another 4 bites. Probably should've gone fine line and maggot feeder during the day as it was very bright and water is pretty clear.

Still a very plesent day on a really attractive and varied piece of water.

What a lovely bright cold sunny day it was with a frisky easterly wind.

When the winds in the east the fish bite least, then when my brother was back to the car away went his rod.

1 barbel of 5lb,better than nothing.

No salmon seen.

Fished for barbel all day in one spot hoping to intercept any on the move. Not a touch all day. Water temp was 40deg so not really surprising. The wind was rather cold but sitting behind the shelter in the sun was very pleasant. I was booked in for the following day when I had planned on a more mobile approach. Overnight the temperature dropped to minus 5 so I did not even bother going back, I went home instead. Roll on the start of the new season!

Arrived at whitehouse at 8.30 after a walk i managed to find a peg I fancied at the bottom end of the beat and away i went. I had a chub about 4lb first chuck and another second chuck. Lost 1 third chuck then waited 15 mins for the next bite and landed a lovely barbel about 8lbs all on pellet. Then it was just like someone switched the fish off and I didnt have another bite on the feeder which coincided with the cold easterly wind getting up but managed 2 small chub and a stray trout on float fished sweetcorn towards the end of the day. A very nice beat and will fish again in the summer thanks very much Wye and Usk Foundation

A lovely warm sunny spring day at last. The river low but with a little colour. Surprisingly hard going with the chub proving elusive and reluctant to feed. Managed to weedle out 3 in the end, all on meat. Also caught a rainbow trout on bread of about 2 and a half pounds. Don't know what he was doing there?

Fished on 25th & 26th Feb 2010 : Chub 12 of them, did it blow on Friday!

On Wednesday we had Chub (3) & John lost a Barbel on 3lbs bottom & 16 hook.

Tuesday, which we fished all day in a snow storm @ 0 deg C and still caught Chub between us (3).

I blanked but my brother managed a 3.5 lb chub and a bonus 6lb salmon (kelt). Both were taken on double maggot. The chub fell to feeder tactics but the salmon took trotted maggot and gave a good account of itself on a 18 hook and 3lb hook length.
