Feedback & Reports

First visit to the Rectory Beat & found the river at about 1ft 4inches. Fished the Rocks with floating line & slow sink leader, size 8 fly. Soon had a nice BT ( 1lbs 4oz ) & then lost a bright silver fish of 8 to 10lb from the side of the big rock! Saw one other running through but regret no further contacts. Lovely beat can not wait to get back early June. Fingers crossed for more water! Thanks go to all at Wye & Usk Foundation for their help.

1'4" Fished lower half of beat. Salmon showed in Rectory pool. Nil.

River at c1`5". Two fish seen in Lower Rock am. In afternoon too bright for much hope of a salmon.

River still holding a bit of colour in the morning but still ok for the fly and by the evening it looked almost perfect and had dropped back to about two feet. Two fish seen and very brief contact made with one, half a dozen trout.

Great to be back on the river again. One salmon seen head and tailing in Gravel catch early on. Alas no salmon and no takes. River too coloured for most of the day for fly. But a most enjoyable day none-the-less.

1 Trout

11lbs slightly coloured fish from the very top of the Rock pool with the river running at 2ft 7" and 4ft vis. Saw another in the Bridge pool. Wading line on the bridge pool has shallowed and I got though it with 6" of freeboard. Turning back to get out at the 2nd access after fishing past the stones was a bit of a struggle against the force of water.

1 Parr, no Salmon. River running very low, with wind getting a bit gusty. Still a great place to spend the day.
