2x brown trout, 1x grayling on BWO dry fly. (All returned). Beautiful place, good fly life, water coloured.

Our second visit this year to this beautiful stretch of the Usk. Again the river was in perfect condition. If there was a down side to the day, then it was the very heavy,slow moving showers. We caught several small WBT, all returned to the river. There was a good evening rise which lasted about 45 mins. otherwise, we fished various nymphs most of the day. Certainly a beat we like to return to on another visit.

6 fish caught altogether, slow days fishing.

One small brown trout approx eight inches caught on beaded nymph and released.

Sadly I was unable to connect with any fish but what a lovely beat.

Perfect end to the season. Good fly hatches with rising fish most of the day. 12 caught up to a pound or so on various dry flies including Adams, Pheasant Tail and v. small grey affair fished in surface film later on.

Wonderful stretch of water with just about every type of swim imaginable. Weather was too bright for much action during the day but as soon as the sun went behind the trees, the action started. Had three barbel (4lb, 4lb & 7lb) in the last hour. Lost a double figure fish after a twenty minute battle. Last hour made up for 6 hours of inactivity.
A bad days fishing beats a good days working!

Fished top pool, 6 barbel to 8lbs. Great day, be back next year.

Windy day, very few fish seen. Several grayling caught including a lot of fry, on dry flies and emergers.

An early overnight frost didn't omen too well for this visit to Courtfield but, after a biteless session before lunch, I returned in the afternoon to fish Legg Meadow and managed to net 4 barbel in the afternoon/evening including a brace of 8s. Went home well pleased with this outcome. Thanks again to Don for running such a fantastic fishery and for being so helpful.
