Feedback & Reports

Did not manage to get there on the day to fish it, unfortunately, so nothing to report as no fishing done - my fault entirely ! I often seem to over-book beats in the eagerness and anticipation of getting around to fishing all of them but I hardly ever do ! Still at least I can console myself that it is all in a good cause and I am happy to support the Wye & Usk Foundation, this way.

One pike and a couple of follows on lures. Beautiful day and no where near as cold as the forecast made out it was going to be.

1 Pike

River was fairly high for this stretch and conditions were freezing cold but clear - only 1 lovely brown trout caught by nymph and safely returned of course. No other activity seen nor bites for the rest of the afternoon - I fished the late afternoon only.

River dropping and running Gin clear. Majority of fish caught on a french leader with a couple of hares ears in deep water!

I had an invite with Shaun on Craig Llyn, what a lovely day out. We starting fishing by the Hut, he has there and I was greeted with a lovely hot mug of coffee to start with which was really nice on a cold bitter morning. I took a few lovely grayling fishing with pink and hares ears weighted bugs. They were a few olives about but not enough to tempt them to rise. Next we went down the bottom end called the flats we had some large grayling all on the bugs and a heavy peeping caddis on the point. We finish off at the top end with a few more grayling, it was 3.30 and decided to call it a day. What a lovely water .

River was a tad high still, and running quite cloudy. Beautiful beat, only fished for 1.5 hrs on top half. Hooked 1 OOS trout, otherwise blanked.

River was a bit high but fishable. No sign of any fish though. Sometimes one just fishes in hope.
