Feedback & Reports

Water dropping slightly and still carrying quite a lot of colour after heavy overnight rain (and one or two downpours during the couple of hours I fished!) but managed to dredge up 4 trout to 9 inches on heavy dark nymphs (all returned).

3 Rainbows by float/worm.
1 Perch off bottom/worm (Returned).

Lost count of the number of fish caught in excess of a dozen and at least as many dropped off, mostly small. All fish returned. Foshing was much better in the morning, the river appeared to be running down with just a nice amount of colour. The lunchtime rain with consequent increase in colour made fishing more difficult.

Nice location, though not easy to find. Drive through the
willow tree! Spent most of the day at the bridge swim. Took 6 barbel & 2 chub. Lovely quiet part of the river - we will be back!

Stunning stretch and running clear. All muddy water coming into usk from junction pool on this beat. Just one tiddler and not much sign of fish but we were there in the middle of the day so no real surprise.

Fished the lower end of the fishery. 9 barbel & 2 chub - best barbel 8 lbs plus. Lots of bottom weed which ended in one or two losses. Perhaps the most memorable part of the day was during the afternoon when we were caught in the most horrendous storm with lightning bolts hitting all around us. Needless to say we dropped the rods and took cover under our brollies. It didn't seem to put the fish off though!

1 barbel - 9lb, 1 eel on pellet - 3.5lb, 1 chub - 3lb. Very quiet, but river was rising and thunderstorms killed off the fishing.

Only fished for 4 hours due to commitments. Couple of fish showing in pool and opposite dead trees on a rising river slightly coloured. One pull on fly in Little run but no fish.

21 Barbel 5 Chub 2 Roach 3 Dace on pellet meat and corn.

2 x browns caught and released (and one lost) on a dry daddy, in 20 minutes of fishing. Reckon I could've had a few more if I'd had more time.
