Afternoon session, river down 7 feet following recent flooding, conditions looked perfect however only chub obliged...am beginning to wonder where have all the barbel gone...!

3 Chub

1 x 12inch (kept), 7 x 9/10inch (released). Fairly easy access along the whole beat.

tough going as the water was very coloured however I managed to winkle out a few.

The river was high, although you could see from the debris left in the trees it had dropped significantly. Plenty of branches and weed came floating down during the day, however the water was warm (I know because I fell in) and had a nice colour to it. Caught 2 chub 4 & 4.5Lbs and a barbell 8lb 4oz. I think the week ahead will get better with the weather forecast.
Always a pleasure fishing this beat and look forward to returning, thank you Wye & Usk.

A dazzlingly beautiful day of brilliant sunshine in the most beautiful of surroundings. Had an excellent catch of...leaves, enough to carpet a wood, but otherwise not a sign of rise, maybe because fish put off by the most impressive bombardment of acorns I have ever seen, driven by the brisk wind blowing down the river

2 good size grayling to a GRHE, no sign of rises or fly life today but the water was still coming through very fast, but clear. Sadly no fishing possible in the Mudpool due to the presence of another angler - a big dog otter who I very happily watched for half an hour trying in all the places I would try, also without success. A perfect Autumn day's fishing.

First time on this beat. River still very high and fast from weekend rains so it took a bit of time to find the best areas for trout. Other fishermen (salmon)on the beat very helpful. 4 WBT but only one would have troubled the scorer. Half a dozen missed or threw the hook. A carefully maintained beat - much appreciated.
