A lovely relaxed day on a fascinating stretch of water. Apart from being a little cooler than we'd hoped little breeze and overcast conditions raised expectations. Fish were rising sporadically but more consistently after lunch. Personally I landed 2 good grayling and a fine trout all in the 12oz to pound and a half range while others in the party fared similarly and we all had stories of numerous missed takes. Pockets of rising fish took small dries enthusiastically when located and the deeper sections responded to sparse nymphs fished slowly.

Careful monitoring of the river level over the previous days (at the EA recording site at Titley Mill) showed that it was dropping albeit rather slowly!
Klink'n'dink tactic produced fish in roughly 50:50 proportions to each fly - a Western Olive and a brass-headed size 18 PT nymph. Only the calmer pools produced fish and despite sedges and medium olives hatching most of the day there were very few rising fish.

Had a fantastic day. I must of hit the river at a good time - the water was only slightly coloured and pushing through a tad so I didn't know what to expect, especially with the amount of rain we had the night before.
I started at the middle and worked nymphs upstream, the response from the fish was fantastic, fishing pool after pool connecting with fin perfect wild brown trout. The air stayed cool all day with a trickle of pale wateries and blue winged olives. I saw one mayfly and also what looked like a large brook dun. I think had it been a few degrees warmer there would have been alot more hatching fly.
Turning over rocks I saw some huge heptagenid nymphs which could be the large brook dun, also an abundance of baetis nymphs and caddis. The river is in superb condition. there was a rise to the bwo duns in the evening....
A wonderful day I will not forget. Thank you Wye and Usk Foundation.

Overnight rain rather more than I thought left the Brook slightly coloured and still a bit high, perhaps 9".
Weather very overcast damp and foggy. Conditions did not look promising. TH using nymphs scored a decisive blank not a bump or touch, nothing. DB had four wbt all on beaded nymph and all about 8" or so. We packed after about 3 hours and went for some fish and chips at Eywas Harold only to find the chip shop was shut, but the pub was open, hurrah.

River looking beautiful and running reasonably clear. A hatch of small upwings and fish responded. I ended up landing 10 lovely fish up to around 14 inches inches. Lovely day. Fished from 9.30am - 13.00

Continued on upstream having fished Lower Longtown. I caught two more lovely fish and fished about halfway up the beat casting to sporadic rises until the rain fell hard and a strange grey mist decended putting out the sun and the fishing in one fail swoop!
