Not a bite all evening

What a beautiful beat saw a few rising fish through the afternoon access to the river was good although some of the stiles were a bit wobbly

Great day. River was high and coloured, with lots of fly life. Two on nymphs, one on the dry, three on the streamer. Strangely the fish weren’t interested in the hatches up top. Still enjoyed a super day.

Hoped for some trotting but the river came up over half a metre overnight so spent the day roving the section with the feeder rod. Caught chub from most swims and found barbel in just one - close in the slacker water in the morning and then further out in the flow in the evening once the water had dropped about 20cms.

5 Barbel, 16 Chub

2 brown trout and 1 small sea trout. All returned.

Hard work today, even though the water looked good. Few feeding on the surface, and nothing over 6oz. But nice to be there.

The river was rising with a lot of debris coming down , so made fishing difficult . I was disappointed with my first Wye and Usk passport , website made it sound like it would be exclusive to anglers and said we were not allowed to visit the water until the day we booked , but on our day the whole area was full of dog walkers hikers , picnickers, cyclists even launching a home made sail boat in the swim we were fishing, kids swimming and shouting where we were fishing and lots of the beat completely unfishable due to lack of pegs 45 is not cheap for me and was meant to be a treat and father and son time but was noisy and anything but peaceful , really disappointing.

Fishing Passport Note : It is mentioned on the Caradoc website page that during hot days, particularly at weekends, other river users can sometimes be present. Apologies if you missed this. We will try and make the message clearer.
