A hard but enjoyable day with a sleet storm to start with. However, the weather improved and a good hatch of March Browns appeared between 2pm and 3pm. Very few fish rose however, but the day was saved when a 19" grayling was caught on a wet fly and returned.

2x brown trout (3/4lb and 1/2lb) taken on nymphs (yellow sallie size 14, bead head Kern emerger 14). 1x grayling (1.5lb) taken on copper bead head nymph size 18/20. 1 x grayling (roughly 1lb) hooked but not landed taken on copper bead head nymph size 18/20. A stunning day fishing during which we both caught fish. We saw kingfishers. A hatch started about 2pm after the sun broke through early cloud, that had been preceded by a rainy, cold morning. Nothing taken on dries, or spiders, or surface emergers. All fish taken on indicator rigs in rifles or fast water. Best fish big old grayling. Rather manky thing its dorsal fin split 3/4 way down and bottom side of tail fin worn down and 'rounded'. Absence of bigger trout.

Fished afternoon into the evening, only managed two small pike.

No salmon caught or even seen I'm afraid.

Had a wonderful day, Mr T hurley landed a 5lb sea trout, from dog hole, which made his day! Would definatley come back to Goodrich Court, banks could do with cutting in places to access good fishable water, all in all good fishery thanks Wye and Usk Foundation.

3 rods caught 31 trout in the 8-10 oz range with a couple over a pound. Most fish taken on tungsten nymphs with quite a few caught on dry olives. Weather was wet in morning but cloudy and showers in afternoon. Rock and roll baby!

Had a great day.We had 32 fish between us with the biggest being 1lb 4oz. All fish returned. Fish taken on a mixture of nymphs (PTN) and dries (olive emerger and paradun).

It was a chilly morning so I opted to fish from midday to 4pm when things waremd up with temperatures reaching the dizzy heights of 10 degrees! The water was surprisngly lowish and clearish despite the recent heavy rains. I took two nice browns of about pound each to a small weighted GRHE.

Rain all morning then brightened up, but still chill light wind. Lovely early evening sun was welcome. Rising fish very picky with several clear takes missed but took a very strong 15" brown trout at the down stream end of the beat in the slower water, late on at 5pm on an Adams 14. Good new beat with plenty of variety. Thank you.

6 x Rainbow Trout caught and taken on floating line & sinking tip with green/blue damsel.
