Short session...water high. Lots of salmon seen

1 Barbel

Fish caught on pellet and meat. River dropping but running quite fast and coloured. Lots of tackle lost on snags.

Dry flies. Slightly muddy water made wading tricky. A very beautiful stretch of river. The no dog rule sadly means I probably won't be able to fish this beat again.

The river was running fast and heavily coloured lovely stretch of the wye one barbel 10 lb in weight

Both used float with worm, an excellent day, weather was kind we managed 4 rainbow trout , 2 were 14ins long and 2 were 15ins long, most enjoyable day, booking on line was simple, recommended to anyone.

4 Trout

15 brown trout to 10". All taken off the top. Stream not too high considering the amount of rain we've had.

Weather and river not ideal. Managed to catch a 6 lb plus barbel. Pellet and feeder method.

River a foot up and a nice height, falling very slowly despite some very heavy rain at times, but too coloured I think, even for the spinner - I'm learning that the Usk does not fish as well in strong colour as many 'softer' rivers I know, like the Towy. No takes to spinner or fly and no sign of fish, including trout, except one rolling salmon in the Rocks. Lovely beat though, will be back. Was rather confused by the reference in the directions to the Steel Horse Cafe, which turned out to be half a mile from the river and certainly no sign of a fishing hut there. And is the 'private car park next to the water' the pull-in in front of the old hut by the Chain Bridge (which I used) or is there another which I failed to find? Clarification would be appreciated.
