Feedback & Reports

No fish caught - only fished for an hour before being blown off the reservoir by really strong winds and heavy rain, bit of waste of time and mis-spent funds. Not clear why in the case of Talybont why the Wye & Usk charge 30% of the fee as an admin cost (booking fee)... If this is just to raise money for W&U then just say so versus passing this off as a booking/admin fee which has been out ruled in most organisations. Instead of book fee call it W&U funding contribution, I'd be happy with that.
WUF Note: The Fishing Passport is non-profit making and any fees are to cover the costs of running a booking office, credit card charges, website etc. They are not a Wye & Usk Foundation funding contribution.

Fishing was quite slow compared to the days before as the temperature dropped over night. Fishing improved towards midday. All trout caught on the nymph in the deeper pools and in the faster water at the top end of the beat.
Trout were in the 6" to 10" range.

A rather cold day on the Wye with little moving or rising. Seven trout, the two best c. 1.5 lb and 1 lb. Caught on CDC deer hair dun (14), and two on GRHE (14). One salmon parr. All fish released.

River low, bright and sunny. Dredged a perdigon through the rocky channels, no success. Saw 1 trout rise in pool of beat below, Fly life plentiful, lots of midge and a few yellow mays, some sedge. Saw a kingfisher and red kite. Unfortunately no fish. Fished my club beat on Irfon after and had 6 trout on dry.

Half decent day considering the blustery winds, so made for the pools on the bends for some shelter and fished Klink and dink. All fish apart from one fell to a GBGRHR, thankfully I didn’t lose it as it was the only one I had in the box. Must make some more.
A few more mayfly about than last week, but these fish still haven’t switched on to them.
Thanks to the Wye and Usk Foundation.

Plenty of mayfly about and saw a number of rises. One 7 inch trout caught on mayfly.

Lovely day but a little windy, sunny and river level low. Plenty of fly life but little sign of feeding fish. 2 brown trout, 1 on nymph from the deeper water and 1 sub surface. Saw an otter in the evening so moved!
