8 trout nymphs and spiders No real hatch of fly

8 Trout

Only just got around to completing the catch return. All I can remember is access was challenging and no fish caught.

River extremely low and with water very clear, making approaching fish tricky. Little surface activity through the day. 3 brown trout (to 12 inches) and 2 grayling (to 12 inches) caught, all in good condition. Lovely varied beat in beautiful countryside. We plan to return again, hopefully with a little more water in the river.

3 Trout, 2 Grayling

Could not make the days fishing due to work

Called in on my way home from a week fishing the Usk, was supposed to be a pleasant few hours fishing the Mayfly but only stayed an hour or so, very heavy rain all morning meant the river was colouring up and the banks had become very slippery so packed up and can home.
No fish but noticed a huge amount of very small upwings on the air, didn’t notice any on the river due to the heavy rain.

No salmon showing but fish there. One good tug which did not developed and another on for ten minutes until hook pulled. Dark day so dark fly. Really enjoyed day. Beginning to colour pm.

Heavy rain so only fished early evening. Not much fly life but took one 10” BT on klinkhammer. River coloured, hoping it will clear quickly.

River level up by 4” or so. Neck of Rectory into Rectory Pool fishing much better as a result. However, no fish seen, no takes.
