Still fishing as I write. Absolutely fuming, paid for the privilege of exclusivity on this beat only to be met with someone fishing the field above the house after our return from the wooded section. He seems to think that the villagers have rights to fish there... Well it isnt in the Wye and Usk documentation and a call to the police has left me with an incident number and a stretch paid for for exclusivity with the local villager fishing away.

I am booked on here in 2 weeks time and I am not looking forward to coming here now which has left a really bitter taste in my mouth. I expect a full refund from the Wye and Usk for this.

WUF Note : We have confirmed with the owner that there are NO fishing rights afforded to the village. The angler was poaching. Exclusivity is not guaranteed at Fownhope 5. The owner(s) reserve the right to fish although the rod is seldom used.

Great days fishing. Fish were caught on both dry fly and nymphs and all bar two from areas close to Llanstephan bridge.

4 Trout, 8 Grayling

Another short evening session . 2 Trout around 6 inches on a size 18 IOBO. I think tonight's fishing not helped by the Otter that swam past not 6 feet away in the bottom pool. At least he is helping with the Signal Crayfish!

A tough day at the Creel. Barbel seemed not to be up for it today. My colleague did manage to find one but the river was unusually quiet with only the occasional chub making an appearance. A lovely day and will be back soon. Thank you for the addition of the steps to assist with access.

river extremely low now. as not fished here before turned up for a river showing its bones. the only likely looking swim another angler was set up in so i roved the lower section with no success not even a knock. lovely stretch of water but really does need a couple more feet of water to fish well. even the reliable chub were not playing ball today. a few large salmon showing
