Feedback & Reports

Arrived to find that the river had risen overnight and coloured badly, no fish caught but several seen throughout the day. still all had a pleasant day spinning.

After a lot of effort on Wye, usk and Towy a fish at last. Fish took single hook yellow/silver FC. Cock fish about 12lb in the rock pool which has always been one of my favourite pools on the Usk. Easy release on micro barb single.

1 Salmon

Tough day - a few rises and just a trickle of Fly life. I tried everything - duos, large and small, weighted and not. Different indicators, damsel nymphs, wets, the works. One of those days?

Not a day for them sticking, lost one in the Orchard then later in front of the hut on Gromain. After striping line from the reel from the off it decided to roll on the line and unhook itself. River looking good.

Arrived on Saturday afternoon to take a walk along river and everything looked perfect with gauge on 2' but the overnight rain was heavier than we had hoped which washed heavy colour from the Irfon down river. When we arrived at 7am Sunday there was only 6" to a foot of visibility so went straight for the spinning rods and FC's. Clarity eventually improved through the day and by 3 it was fine but unfortunately no salmon caught and just one seen head and tailing in leaning Willow. Monday was looking good for this beat but myself and my brother Phil were booked in at the Rectory!!!
