Feedback & Reports

Fished this venue before and like last time nothing happened till the afternoon. Can't blame the canooists in the morning even though they choose like us the fastest water to use. Downstream areas difficult to access even with a rope so concentrated on the upstream end. Keith did the best in a sluggish swim by loose feeding and fishing sweetcorn, Peter also lost a big barbel after a raft of weed caught the line above the fish. He put it at 10 plus - again on corn. We left at 6 pm - think we would have continued catching.

Good to have a bit of rain to put some fresh water back in the rivers. Good flow, but a bit coloured for the grayling. All fish bar one solitary brown, dry fly, taken on heavy nymphs in the faster water. Best fish was a grayling of about 16". Good day. Probably fish better on Saturday as it will be clearer.

Booked Usk but too coloured to fish. Moved to wild stream, very low rose several caught one.

The river looked good with a few extra inches following the previous day's rain so we were looking forward to a good day. It turned out to be surprisingly slow going. The barbel and 2 of the chub were a nice size though.

Caught below the water confluence at the island beat. All fish ranged from 2 to 8 lbs. All taken on mesh pva bags and hair rigged double size 8mm pellet. Great day lovely weather and the conditions were perfect. Fish came steadily throughout the day. From underneath the overhanging tree.
