First time for me on this beat. 8 WBT split between top and bottom ends of the water. All on March Browns. Hatches were sparse and sporadic.
Lovely stretch of the Usk. Very fishy with very varied water types.

River slightly high but clearing well, booked Mick for the morning and as ever I strongly recommend him to anyone new to the beat or indeed salmon fishing.Unfortunately my salmon fly rod snapped due to poor technique combined with a sink tip and heavy tube fly and both of us used spinning for the rest of the day using flying c's and Micks set-up on devon minnows. I think we deserved a fish but that's salmon fishing! Will be back to this well maintained beat. Thanks Mick.

Fabulous conditions to be on the water this Sunday morning Great result from beat 5 Loxters right hand bank with a superb fish for Mr Sprinter and a good fish lost by Stuart Smith from beat 3 in the afternoon. The beat had been fished through quite well by Tim Kelly and Jim Cummings in the morning but the fish succumbed to the fly after the well deserved perseverance. Fish seen on beat 1 but no offers.

Only arrived at Caradoc at 1 o'clock by 4 had a 13lbs springer, a little colour probably been in the river for a week, did see fish running, they seem to be going straight up to higher reaches with good water levels, this is my 5th springer of the Wye in 3 weeks, happy? oh yes!
