The river had dropped by a few inches from our previous visit two days earlier. Best barbel was 8lbs 13ozs and the biggest chub was 4lbs 6ozs. Fish were caught on pellet.

13 Barbel, 4 Chub

Another lovely day, but fishing hard work with flow and colour dropping.

During an afternoon chat with a bailiff it appears the fishing was generally poor that day.
The weather was overcast with very little wind on the water surface but remained dry during the period in which I fished.
Fish caught were all rainbow trout of approx 2lb+ and were caught by ledgering with a floating worm.

Managed to catch and safely return a 12 lbs hen fish today. Fish took an old Usk fly called "The Reverend Mole". River in fine condition and should fish for the next few days.

River falling .75 at Redbrook, didnt anticipate the amount of colour, vis wasnt great. Not much moving but caught & returned 2 lovely sea trout largest about a pound (thought I was into something larger!!!!). Great day thank you W & U for all your help over the season.

Arrived at about 11 and the angler already fishing had caught 1 barbel and lost another. The river had cleared a bit since Tuesday. Fished with pellet and meat for a couple of hours with hardly a twitch so switched to maggot feeder and the bites started coming. Finished with 5 chub 1 trout and a dace. A nice stretch to fish with nicely mown walkways. Thanks wuf.

Looked perfect, day gradually turning colder with wind from the north, resulted in 1 x barbel, 8lb+, & 1 chub on meat. Otter in adjacent swim didn't seem to do any better but provided entertainment.

Overcast and increasingly windy day. Three good sized out of season trout, three minnows and 6 grayling all on trotted maggots. 5 of the grayling were minnow sized and the other was a very large fish that looked over 2lb. Lots of fry in the margins and 4 fish seen rising.
