All on dry flies and all returned a very enjoyable day

22 Trout

Nothing to report no fish caught

Nice day fishing, fish taken on small nymphs and small dries

4 Trout

Barbel caught from amongst the weed off the concrete. 2 eels one of which was large 3 to 4lb.
Pump going as usual ! Level very low as expected. all fish were rested and swam off strongly.

4 Barbel, 2 Other

Pleased with the catch given the hot and sunny weather and a low river. Fish were taken on meat and pellet from the faster and presumably better oxygenated water.

5 Barbel, 2 Chub

River low, caught all fish on meat

3 Barbel, 1 Chub

Water very low and also a still day with barely a ripple on the water. In these testing conditions, and with no fish showing, tied on a small weighted GRHE nymph and took one small brownie. Still, a beautiful afternoon's fishing with my 10 year-old son who was entranced by the whole experience.

Last of 3 days fishing on the wye & Usk Foundation and First visit to Thomas wood,
Well done on doing an adult & child ticket, as most beats don’t!!! The river was up again, and had a tinge of colour, so a bit more confident than the previous 2 days. Peter the fishery manager came not long after we arrived, and was more than helpful, showing us around the fishery, seemed very passionate about his job, and I could tell he was really hoping we might catch a barbel or 2! Unfortunately we didn’t,but still had an enjoyable day, my lad had 5 dace whilst doing some trotting, and the last hour as it was getting dark we had 2 chub each with a pb for my lad of 3lb 6 oz he was over the moon and that’s what it is all about,this is a beautiful stretch, and as described, I would recommend the wooded stretch a bit more pace, a lot of canoes but no problem, I would come back to this beat!

4 Chub, 5 Other

Fished at the start and end of a hot sunny day. A lot of weed coming through. Very quiet save for two screaming takes at the end of the day but sadly no fish landed. A lovely beat and a nice day had with my son. I will be back.
