Feedback & Reports

What a relief to be able to go fishing again, I had never visitied this beat before, so it was a new experience.
The river was fairly low and a little cloudy, algae was evident on the bed, especially when wading and becoming surrounded by floating algae dislodged from the gravel.
Fly life was sparse, with only a handfull olives hatching all day, rises were also sporadic and there wasn't a single fish feeding conistently.
However I did manage to catch a couple of trout, one on a Parachute Adams, and another on a tungsten bead GRHE nymph.
They weren't large circa 8 inches, but were most welcome.
It was just really good to be out with a rod in my hand exploring a new place to me.
The beat was fairly tight fishing along most of it's length, perhaps a recommendation on rod length/weight should be included in the beat details.
Anyway an excellent escape from all the madness all the same.
Thank you again Wye and Usk foundation.

6 x trout 6-8 inches, Goldbead Hare's Ear fished under Klinkhammer. It all stopped when I received the WUF message about 10.30 bringing fishing to a halt. This morning, in total, I met one woman walking her dog, about 20 feet away, dippers, yellow wagtails and a fallow doe. Much safer than a trip to the supermarket I reckon, and I'm doing a fair bit of shopping these day for elderly relatives and neighbours. Never mind, from now on I'm going to take up walking or cycling for my daily fresh air. Running would surely kill me!
