Feedback & Reports

Just like to say superb presentation by all parties, especially John Lawson, who definitely spelt it out clearly so that I fully understood it. Having said that, the magnitude of it all seems far beyond imagination. But as we have said just crazy enough for this government to get it through! So lets all keep vigilant and will assist where we can.

Lyepole is as good as it gets - beautiful surroundings and full of fish, a W&UF gem. Thanks for a great day out.

WUF note: Catch....29 grayling to 16" and 10 out of season trout to 10"

5 grayling to 1lb, several small trout and salmon parr.

A lovely stretch of water,leaves from the trees where a bit of a problem, but the otter sightings made up for the lack of fish. Many thanks, we will return.

Excellent day, went for Chub but once into Dace sat on them!
Beautiful conditioned fish, never seen so many since my younger days. No keep net used. No Grayling. No Salmon seen.
Thank You.

WUF note: Catch return....150+ dace, 6 of which were over 12oz, 4 chub to 2lb to 2 rods.

Fishing was tricky and very slow to start, with bright sun and downstream wind making presentation difficult. As soon as the sun went in the dace started feeding avidly! Fish a chuck for two hours until the sun came out again and spoilt it. Fish came on again in the evening. The Trees are in spectacular autumn livery at the moment, making it a truly memorable trip.

Met a really nice fishery owner and made us very welcome.

Brilliant top fishing!

WUF note: Catch return....100+ dace, 2oz-6oz. 20 grayling, 20cm to 30cm 2lb to 2 rods.

Overnight ground frost and clear conditions obviously not too favourable however, 1 bite and 1 beautiful 10lb 7oz fish barbel put a huge grin on my face. First double in a number of seasons. Met the baliff down there who mentioned the stretch does get quite alot of pressure from the
club as can be seen from the banks so not quite your usual WUF beat but has produced alot of fish this season.

It our was first day using the trust and we had an excellent day. I have wanted to catch grayling for years and we succeeded very quickly due to our excellent guide Kim Tribe.

WUF note: Catch return...2 trout and 9 grayling to 16" to 2 rods.

Many thanks for the booking. We enjoyed marvelous day on a very pretty stretch of river with all the richness of autumn colours. Had one beautiful hen fish of just under 7lb, slightly coloured but otherwise in very good condition - safely returned.

Small Ally's fished close to surface did the trick. Sadly my friend, for whom the day was supposed to deliver his first salmon, had to make do with two out-of-season brownies and a grayling (all safely returned). It's amazing what will take an Ally's!

Never mind we'll just have to bring him back next season!

Weather: Fair
conditions: clear, approx 1 ft on guage
1 Male Salmon. Approx 6lb (returned)
Caught-on: Fly - cascade

Lovely, secluded spot. Excellent booking service

Thanks for looking after me during my short stay in Builth and enabling the opportunity to fish for Salmon on the Usk. The beautiful river and easy pace of life in your part of the world was a tonic, even if I picked up a ducking (baptism) and did not catch. Still, I have learnt a lot which will be useful when I return.

Best regards to you all, and please keep me abreast of Foundation developements, as I would like the opportunity of giving something back.
