Fished for 2 hours in the morning from 9 am. Fished 3 hours in evening from 4 pm. All fish caught on North Country Spiders. 1 Grayling of 1.5 lbs. Really enjoyable fishing with great surroundings.

10lb cock fish from the rock pool on a aurora cascade and a 15lb cock fish on a Usk grub from the big rock on the bridge pool, took over 100yds of backing off the reel had to follow it right down the pool to land it ,

Lost two salmon in Orchard fishing a Cascade #8 all within 20 mins. Inspection showed one of the hooks was slightly bent, so a lesson learned. Gutted is an understatement, but a memorable day none the less. Fish both showed after taking and were very clean this late in the season. Water still a little coloured.

A lovely day on the beat. Our second via the 2016 Atlantic Salmon Trust auction lot. A very good water height looked promising although it was also a little coloured, which made for difficult wading on dodgy knees on an unfamiliar stretch of the river. We saw a few fish, I caught a suicidal brownie whilst trying to lengthen my line and also had a couple of tugs from something other than a rock. An enjoyable day notwithstanding.

A lovely end of season day on this great stretch of water. Shirt sleeve fishing to rising fish. 3 wbt best 1.5 lbs.
Thanks to all at WUF.

We parked by the river near the pump which was running. We had a long walk to the top end of the fishery there are few swims but there are some. David caught a chublet to start on maggot followed by a nice 9lb Barbel on hair rigged sweetcorn. The a whopping 7lb Chub came to his net using spiced luncheon meat this time.
Colin could only manage a Chublet to maggot and two 31b Chub to luncheon meat.
Thanks Wye and Usk.

4 Barbel, 3 Chub, 2 Other

Fantastic day trotting for dace boosted by chub/chublets catching at 20-25 fish per hour the dace are in the 6-8oz range and chub/chublets 8oz-1.5lb. The 4 barbel were caught using pellet and feeder 2 around 5lb and 2 baby barbel about 1lb.
