Lovely, fantastic beat. Tough conditions but managed a good few fish from the upper end of the beat. All in great condition, fell to pellet and feeder tactics towards the evening

4 Barbel, 9 Chub

4 Salmon Par caught. No salmon caught and all fish returned

5 Trout, 2 Grayling, 6 Chub, 4 Other

River on the lowside, was told it was on "compensation water", fished the fly on the Rectory pool,one fish showed, looked clean enough, but not interested in what I was offering, also fished the Rock but alas with no success, I`m sure I only fish because I like coffee and sandwiches, hopefully better luck next time I visit, the lady in the booking office was very helpful as it was my first visit to the foundation, explained all the ins and outs of the system/tickets etc, and I think it was Simon? was very helpful in showing where best to fish, lies etc, I`m near sure he guaranteed me a fish so maybe get a freebie next time,hahaha!!but I had a really nice day on the river, thank you.

Decided to fish a couple of swims in the big field below the orchard after a slow start we started to catch a few fish by mid morning Continued to catch odd fish for the rest of the day even during the sunny afternoon. Had some notable barbel including fish of 9lbs 14 oz and 9lbs would certainly fish this beat again

17 Barbel, 5 Chub

Glorious afternoon on the Ty-Newydd beat. No fly life evident but fish feeding on nymphs in places. Also caught 2 salmon parr. All fish returned in good condition.

What a excellent days fishing. I must thank Don for letting the three of us to fish together, we all fished the lower end of the section we had fish coming throughout the day even with canoes coming down the river in droves. Though the fish seem to be smaller average in this section (1-3lb) it is good sport and looks good for the future. Most fish caught on pellet or meat with a feeder. (RS-18 Barbel,3 Chub; SP- 7 Barbel, 3 Chub; SC-14 Barbel,5 Chub).

39 Barbel, 11 Chub

Day 3 and a better day weather wise. Barbel continued to feed well with young J taking 11 to 8.8, 6 plus 4 Chub to dad A and 6 for me, the usual groundbait feeder tactics still working, small hookbaits seem to be the order of the day though. Fished a different area today to give area fished the first two days a rest. Last day tomorrow.

23 Barbel, 6 Chub

Last day and another lovely one, joined by the fourth member of our party P who enjoyed a catch of 5 Barbel, 6 Chub and a pound and a half Brown Trout! A at last caught more than son J with 11 Barbel and 4 Chub, I weighed in with 10 with the biggest of the week a fish of exactly 9lbs.
We've had a great four days on a truly beautiful river. Many thanks to the landowner who we spoke to briefly and was pleased to hear of our catches and especially to the Wye and Usk for giving us the opportunity.

All fish caught on dry fly and returned (as they were undersized).

Spent a very enjoyable day on this beat with Oliver Burch. Bright conditions, water clear and a downstream wind. Not a great deal rising. Had 4 grayling to 14" and one trout of 10" and a number of salmon parr on spiders and grey duster.
