arrived at ten and water was pushing with a little colour so opted single 2.5mm tungsten nymph . all trout were between 6-10 inches with none of the larger fish making an appearance . sadly as could be expected after the lull in the weather and wind coming from a north easterly hatches were non existant. in the few hours there only one rise spotted. temperature was 5 degrees at start and only eight when i left , with the water still feeling cold. nice to be back on the beat and hoping the weather picks up soon.

River level high so it was a difficult day however caught 4 nice WBT on nymphs.

Fresh hen fish weighing 10lb to Jason Tapp from Ross AC Weirend fishery. Jason was fly fishing with a black and gold pot bellied pig and the fish took just as he started the retrieve.

1 Salmon

18lb salmon caught on a yellow flying c at 4pm. River rising and weather overcast. A personal best fish covered in sea lice. Thanks to Mick the ghilly for showing the taking lies.

A Fish seen running abernant stream, but no joy

Water too high but persevered with the fly and in fact had a Salmon on briefly, alas, it came off after a few head shakes. Enjoyed the day in spite of the incessant rain. Joe the Ghillie was was very helpful, professional and good company.

Was fishing when guy from canal club leaned over canal bridge and told me Wye and Usk have no right to fish above canal bridge. Wye and Usk info says can fish canal section (as well) on Friday and indeed that’s what we booked. Of course this isn’t Wye and Usk fault but if Wye and Usk has right to share a beat it would be good if members of the club sharing knew this also. Same thing happened at Abercamlais beat.

Sorry for late return, did phone it in on the day. 41” fresh Salmon estimated on the day at 22lb but an average from three different length scales would suggest more like 25lb, taken on SHFC from top of Gravel Catch near to Copper Beech. Tried fly initially but 40 to 45 yard cast needed to cover properly which on the day with a slight upstream breeze was not possible. Absolutely beautiful fish and my PB. Saw at least a dozen fish in The pool and tail with one beauty jumping over my fly line 15 yards away. River around 2 foot with descent clarity.

Slightly high water but quite clear. No Salmon seen, conditions average - drizzle and cool. 2 trout mis-caught upstream of waterfall on black/white conehead and 1 near suspension bridge. Nice beat, will return with hopefully more sucess
