Feedback & Reports

4 brown trout, 3 approximately 10", 1 about 5", caught on Bibio and Coch-y-Bondhu. All returned.

Caught none. No fish seen. Colour fining down until the rain from 3 o clock persuaded me to retire to the bar. Infinitely more pleasurable than work.

6 fish to 1/2 lb. River highish but fishable. Sadly lost 2 fish over 1lb.

Hard fishing due to rising water with lots off weed & trees being washed down, 2 chub to 3lb, 2 barbel to 7 1/2 lb.

16th July Whitehouse caught 7 barbel to 9lb and 4 chub to 4lb all on pellet.
Weed,trees,crash helmet and rubber rings all passed by.

8 Barbel from Backney up to 8Lbs on 16th July, also on trout pellet. Packed up about 5pm due to torrential rain.
Had a few Chub as well but only counted the main target Barbel. A couple of Eels about 18 inches long decided they liked pellet as well.

No salmon caught or seen. 2 good brown trout on an Usk grub!

Loads of fingerlings to about 6". Finally found two fish about 12". They seem to gobble up the Adams para's and elk hair flies. Don't think there to fussy though. Still having a great time on this river as I tend to fish it at least once a week. Always nice.

Not a very good day. Dull and cloudy for most of the time with rain off and on. River rising slowly and rather coloured I worked hard for 4 small trout 6-8" and approx 6 parr.

However it is a picturesque beat and I'm going to come back.

Had 8 Barbel from Holme Lacy on the 14th July, between 12pm and 5pm. All on trout pellet.
