12lbs silver cock fish from Llyn Em Pool on 3/4" tube best described as a Stoats Tail with attitude. (One of KT's specials). Very little black hair with added flash - when you think you have enough sparkle, double the quantity and double it again ! Brief contact with another fish in Middle Caban.

9lbs salmon on fc with single hook, very easy to release, time to ban trebles?

Arrived at 7.00 a.m. River 0.9m on gauge carrying some colour but very fishable. Spectacular thunderstorm at 8.30am leaving river a chocolate mess and 5cm higher. Fished till lunchtime without a sign, then home for a drink in the sun and the footie.'till next time.

An earlier call at the Garren resulted in a change of plan. It was the colour of hot chocolate! This little brook proved to be a really interesting alternative. I enjoyed a couple of hours good, challenging sport and was thankful I'd packed my 5 foot rod. No sign of fish on the surface. Three beautiful small trout (5"-6") came to a weighted GRHE.

17 trout and grayling taken, 6 of which were up to 2lbs in weight. Not much surface activity, mainly caught on bug patterns.

18 Barbel to 9Lbs.
2 Chub to 4Lbs

Good conditions, warm and thundery and stream in very good nick, a good level and very clear. However fishing was hard work mainly due to poor accessibility - barbed wire fences, low tree canopy, dense undergrowth, fallen trees etc. Not sure I'd go this time of year again. Started at 1130, but fish didn't really start moving til 5pm in spite of there still being mayfly about. Finished with 8 between us up to 9" mainly on Adams or pheasant tail.

A re-arranged day after a wash-off earier in the season - with thanks to the Booking Office for this excellent service!

River around 1'3" and a little coloured after overnight rain. 6 trout between 2 anglers, all on the mid section: 4 on downstream numph, one on dry and one on suspended nymph. Our first time on the Usk - we learned a lot and we'll be back for more!

We arrived at 8.30 am, just about the same time as the rain, which at times was the heaviest I've ever experienced. It appears we caught the edge of the storm that was to cause heavy flooding in the Midlands & beyond.
The day of extremes continued with a very hot sunny afternoon.
We moved around but, for the first time, struggled for fish as the river sped up, coloured and rose slightly, eventually ending up with just 7 barbel, including a nice broad, deep fish of about 9 to 9 1/2 lbs and a few small chub. Hopefully next time the weather will be kinder.
