Grayling from ~12 to 18cm, trout ~15cm. Hooked a trout 20+ cm in the top pool. Jumped out of the water twice and was gone.

Two buzzards overhead and a pheasant in the grass.

Bright and clear conditions. Fish very fit and healthy.
Elk hair caddis dry - all on surface except one last take of the day on hairs ear nymph.
Hard work but very rewarding.
Thanks Wye and Usk - superb caretaking.

A properly authentic fishing experience & lovely river.

River very low & fish extremely spooky, plenty of them though!

Two bites on nymphs but due to too much slack in the line from casting from an awkward position - didn’t set the hook. Several follows on a streamer stripped through the bigger pools.

no fish caught but one of the better blank days!

I sadly had to leave before the magic hour when I expect they would start rising- but there were plenty of deep fast pools with flashes of gold telling me that fish were feeding through the day.

Fished from 0700-1030, first time on the beat. Only fished the lower section, water was low but some nice pools, spent a lot of time trying to tempt a few rising fish just below the wire fence over the river, but a combination of my skill, or lack of, trying to avoid the fence and overhang and wary fish failed.

A stalking, typical wild stream beat, beautiful morning but no fish. Will be back.

Beautiful stretch of river. Nothing seen on the surface. No hatch. No bites.

River low but cool, plenty of spring flows coming in from the hill sides and well shaded. A good number of small fish about 6 to 9 inches, with a feisty 12 incher being the best of a couple of hours. This short stretch flows through a campsite, so don't expect peace and quiet in the middle section. Sad to see rubbish and food items discarded into the river here. It does however have some excellent pools with a good depth to them. Spooked an extraordinary amount of small fish, bodes well for the future.

Walked a good part, of the bottom half of the section but didn't see anything to cast a fly at, therefore, no fish to report. I was a little disappointed by the amount of rubbish & broken bottles.
