A few fish showing. Lost one which threw the hook during acrobatics, whilst in the air it could be seen to be very silver and bigger than 5lbs. This fish took a toby.

A jack pike around 5lbs also liked the toby.

Most fishing effort was with the fly (various) but to no avail - a few touches but no hook ups.

A misty day til lunchtime then the sun broke through and the temperature went up to about 15 degrees. The first olives were seen at 11.30, very few, and the main hatch about 12.30, although quite small in number. A few fish rose for about half an hour.

One BT, about a pound or so, caught on a dry olive pattern and returned. Very quiet after about 2pm. Lovely day though and this is a wonderful Usk beat. I shall definitely book it again.

Nice warm and sunny day for a change. Caught 8 trout and 6 grayling on upstream nymphs. All fish were on the small size,best 12in. Friend Martin caught 6 Grayling with a couple around 16in.

What a fantastic addition to the WUF beats!

Easy wading, without the need of wading staff. Two 15" brownies fell to a peeping caddis pattern early in the day, followed by another four wildies on LDO imitations. A small LDO hatch brought a few fish on the surface and we seemed to be in the right place at the right time. Biggest fish measured 16.5".

A superb day! Who said anything about bad luck on Friday the 13th?

I caught 5 brown trout weighing up to 1lb, all returned saftley.

6 trout ?lb to 1lb lost a few too. Looks very interesting salmon water.

Weather: sunny with broken cloud. Water: fast flowing and slighly coloured. Two trout taken on a March Brown nymph, fished on a sinking leader,about 12ozs each. Taken in the slower water down stream of the Bridge pool. A very pleasant few hours fishing.

Maesllwch - only one Jack Pike, but a very pleasant day, and I saw 22 species of bird as I sat there passing the time.

Pwll Y Faedda - difficult fishing with the river rising, but I had a mixed bag of trout, grayling and several chunky Chub.

I just received the new "Passport" and on behalf of myself and two other fishing buddies, I want to congratulate you all on an excellent job! We have been fishing the Passport waters for a few years now and find this guide very handy as we come from great distances and rely heavily on it's contents and advice.

This time round, I think you have excelled yourselves and have got us planning more trout trips and thinking about coarse fishing the Wye for barbel!! Well done to all involved.

Searched out all the pikey looking areas with deadbaits, but no runs. River was low, but coloured. Can't wait to get back when it is fining down after a flood as there are some cracking looking swims and there must be some big pike in there.
