4 Trout

Lost near CRF: 1 double sided lure wallet, several jointed lures one side, selection of assorted lures the other if found please could you contact me on 01874638010. Wallet was Xmas gift from my neice so of sentimental value. Lures can always be replaced.

Fished middle section trying two swims. The first near the upper tree line and couldnt get a bite, moved dowstream to a lovely swim with some nice moving water and caught two barbel both just over 9lb.
River was very low so fishing was tough. Due to it being low canoeists became a pain as they were heading for the deeper water where I was fishing. One canoe decidied to deliberately beach right opposite me, one bloke got out beer in hand and decided to run with the canoe straight towards me, jumped in totally lost control and then got caught on my line which was only 1 rod length out, took the line half a mile down stream and then snapped it so they could free the canoe.
So, they were pissed, in control of a canoe that could put themselves and others at risk with zero sense of responsibility at all.
Having read the August report from WUF its obvious there is a problem and not much us anglers can do however it totally ruins your day when idiots with no rules are allowed to do as they please.
Back to the fishing, this is a great beat with good swims and good access.
WUF Note: We have forwarded this report to the EA (the Wye's Navigation Authority) who advise that incidents like this should be reported to their 0800 80 70 60 incident number with, if possible and if applicable, details of the company the canoe(s) was hired from.

The river was low and clear. Weather bright and breezy. Little showing and I failed to find a really consistent tactic. Three fish to hand - one to a small PTN the others to an Adams and a Klinkhammer. Best fish a plump, healthy 12". Raised, pricked and lost half a dozen more from water under overhanging branches.

Beautiful day, great stretch of water. Located fish rising in deep pool so cast dry fly. 3rd cast fish took but lost it almost immediately. Eventually retiring to the car for lunch but unfortunately watched a cormorant land right by the pool! We returned to fishing, disturbing the cormorant. No fish spotted thereafter. No signs of fish whatever, seen the rest of the day!!!

River was low and clear, we tried most options all to no avail sadly, must do better next season!

Very disappointed in the days fishing. Tried a multitude of flies in windy conditions, but not a single pull all day. Discussed with several other anglers on the reservoir all of whom stated the same. Poor days fishing.

Another lovely day, tricky fishing day with the wind, many misses!
Sunday- Craig Llyn unfortunately very coloured today. Kindly invited as guest of Sean to fish a fantastic stretch of the Elan courtesy of Richard. Another great day on a beautiful water with lovely wild brownies. Big thank you to Dave and Tom too for a great day. Look forward to seeing you again!

Mostly small WBT, 2 at 1lb
