Feedback & Reports

It was a shock to see that the river level had risen considerably overnight as there had been very little rain locally. Weather humid, water coloured and fast flowing, but without the barrage of debris that we experienced on Monday. All fish caught on pellet and included 2 barbel doubles (10.7 and 10.2) and chub to 4.6. One of our contingent (Chris) accounted for all of the fish except the 10.2.-what a day for the boy!

10 Barbel, 3 Chub

Great days fishing on a perfect looking river. Although the weather was hot and sunny this did not put the fish off with bites and fish coming regularly throughout the day.
We all used the same method (feeder with hemp and pellet) and various types of pellet on the hook. Most popular on the day was spicy sausage they accounted for 3 of the 6 Barbel caught and both Chub. I hope to return to this picturesque stretch one day as I know now where to find the fish and at what distance they are, I feel I will catch a few more.

6 Barbel, 2 Chub

wash off river came above the stone and very coloured

Fished for 2 hours in the morning from 9 am. Fished 3 hours in evening from 4 pm. All fish caught on North Country Spiders. 1 Grayling of 1.5 lbs. Really enjoyable fishing with great surroundings.

10lb cock fish from the rock pool on a aurora cascade and a 15lb cock fish on a Usk grub from the big rock on the bridge pool, took over 100yds of backing off the reel had to follow it right down the pool to land it ,

2 Salmon

Lost two salmon in Orchard fishing a Cascade #8 all within 20 mins. Inspection showed one of the hooks was slightly bent, so a lesson learned. Gutted is an understatement, but a memorable day none the less. Fish both showed after taking and were very clean this late in the season. Water still a little coloured.

1 Trout, 1 Grayling

A lovely day on the beat. Our second via the 2016 Atlantic Salmon Trust auction lot. A very good water height looked promising although it was also a little coloured, which made for difficult wading on dodgy knees on an unfamiliar stretch of the river. We saw a few fish, I caught a suicidal brownie whilst trying to lengthen my line and also had a couple of tugs from something other than a rock. An enjoyable day notwithstanding.

A lovely end of season day on this great stretch of water. Shirt sleeve fishing to rising fish. 3 wbt best 1.5 lbs.
Thanks to all at WUF.

We parked by the river near the pump which was running. We had a long walk to the top end of the fishery there are few swims but there are some. David caught a chublet to start on maggot followed by a nice 9lb Barbel on hair rigged sweetcorn. The a whopping 7lb Chub came to his net using spiced luncheon meat this time.
Colin could only manage a Chublet to maggot and two 31b Chub to luncheon meat.
Thanks Wye and Usk.
