1 pike 21lb 1oz caught on float legered smelt.

River at a nice height and running clear on a decent day weather wise. I fished most of the beat with a euro nymph set up but failed to connect with a fish of any description. I covered some really good looking water and so I was disappointed not to have a hook up, but an absorbing day on the water all the same.

Trotting maggot. Erwood gauge at 1.1m, which is probably the top end of what I would call fishable. Grayling came fairly quickly from just above the hut. Failed to find any fish in the other likely areas. Still - nice to get out after all the floods.

Fished hard for 5 hours on spiders and nymphs on both upper and lower beat but to no avail. Lovely day though.

A lovely stretch of river but yet again neither of us had a touch, we used meat and pellets, nothing, i think I'll wait for the summer now.

Perfect conditions, mild, sunny, river looked glorious. Sadly no fish. For information, the upstream track leading to the parking area is blocked by a pile of rubbish. Not sure if it's traveller deterrent or fly tipping. Anyway you can't drive down it.

Fishing Passport Note : 15th Feb 2023. The blockage has since been cleared.

Had two lovely grayling just shy of the 2lb mark. Lost another.

David couldn't make it today. 6 x grayling 11-16 inches, trotting. A hard morning's fishing with a North Wind making it feel colder than it actually was. Grayling didn't seem to be shoaled up, possibly because a flotilla of goosanders had been all over the pools.

The river dropped 6” since last week and I thought the rise in temperature would result in a bit more fish activity today. A very quiet session though with only 4 takes all day. An Usk Nailer with a small copper bead caught all of the fish. No interest shown to any bugs or nymphs that were tried.
