Feedback & Reports

2 fish caught near Doldowlod caravan park. Water turning colour after a morning of heavy rain. By evening the river was un-fishable. I did (with W&UF authorisation) an invertebrate sample. The river is almost devoid of life, I found a few stoneflies, segmented worms, a few small cased caddis, no up-winged flies of any kind. A really poor sample.

No action today and do you know what?... It really didn't matter, just being here it's just a privilege to on the bank of this glorious river thank you WUF.

A pleasant few hours on a lovely stretch of water. There was little surface activity so fished with nymphs and spiders. Most of the fish came from the faster water towards the heads of the pools.

1 Barbel, 4 Chub

Just learning, no fish but very enjoyable

Very nice beat with a few cleared swims and a lot of natural swims which I like. Started off trotting the shallows and caught chub and some lovely dace. PS stayed upstream and had a nice chub of 4lb. We then moved to the top of the beat and settled down for some barbel of which I had 3 to 9lb and PS caught his first Wye barbel of 9.10lb which was a cracking fish for his first !!.
Thanks Wye and Usk for a cracking day.
