Blank afternoon, sunny weather brought out some spinners and damselfly and initially looked promising. No fish showing however and none tempted by the pheasant tail nymph I was fishing mid depth. Enjoyable afternoon with sand martins and dippers darting around. Diolch!

Very windy conditions with some cloud and sunny spells. 3 fish to the net but several more missed takes. All fish were caught on a foam body daddy long legs size 16. I only fished for 2 1/2 hours from 1330 - 1530. Very enjoyable as always

Very enjoyable day at this great fishery. Lots of hard work has been put in by Stephan to make the swims more accessible and comfortable and his advice as always was appreciated.

2nd day in a row for me WUF waters. I got there at first light and in hind sight in would of likely fished the swims differently.. anyway nothing all day despite very systematic approaches on both feeder and float. Inspiration of fishing as light as possible (lead) in fact swam shot and plasterscine. Trying t get the bait moving and as natural looking as possibly. sticking in a swim is given the most time to earlier in the day. I ended up with 2 decent barbel 7 and 9lb a absolute unit of a chub that i think would be 5.5lb in winter. Another nice chub and an eel all very welcome and in 1.5 hours. Canoe traffic was relentless including out of control kids that we literally diving and drinking in my swim!!! After i had my first barbel. I wasn't best pleased.
