River level a bit low but had a great day. One or two tugs on the line - next time I will return with trout rod.

No joy. Good hatch and plenty of movement.....

A breezy evening fly fishing on the lower beat with plenty of cloud and the odd shower. River falling and clear with a brown stain. Fishing an Usk Grub had one small grilse on and off after two quick leaps at the Fishing Green and a few trout going for the salmon fly after the recent rain.
An exciting evening on a great piece of fly water.

Extremely hot day, (30 degrees plus) conditions bright. Unsurprisingly, no trout seen or taken. Expensive day for no return, but compensated somewhat but the stunning setting. The river suffers in general (in these conditions) by the open public footpath which enables too many swimmers and dog walkers access to the river. Echo sentiments of the Australian traveler re access to Wifi and printer. We were staying on the canal, hence delay in submitting return. Completed as soon as able.

The river was running high after rain the previous day and 3 anglers who had booked through the estate had struggled the day before. Quite a cool overcast day for July and very little fly life with barely any rising fish at all. I fished from 11am until 5pm without a touch and then found the right fly and some willing fish. Fly of the day was a hot spot pheasant tail nymph fished under an Elk Hair caddis. Fish all taken tight to the bank next to trees or along the edges of the fast water. Highlight of the day was a cracking fish of 17 inches, must have been 2 pounds or more. All fish returned. I will be back.

Very wet and windy resulting in diddly squat!

Lovely fishery, hard going at times with the river carrying a foot of excess water. Struggled early on the nymph taking the first after lunch right at the top of the beat, and then a fleeting hatch of pale olives provided a very short spell of dry fly sport right at the bottom of the lower beat in the afternoon. Two more fish fell to emergers. 3 Fish between 8 - 14inch
Thanks

Four between 8-14" on various small dry flies.

Such a pleasure to fish this beat. 26 degrees and clear blue skies didn't make for hungry fish. 6 caught mostly on nymphs in faster water but also a couple on coachman and Pennell. A number got away including the biggest of the day... of course.
