Wasn't sure where to go today .... thought of maybe the Hindwell or the Arrow, but have done lots of driving with clients over the last week or two, so opted for my local old favourite, the Edw !!!
Twas fishing or The Game Fair ... which, from mid Wales, to Warwickshire, is a two day camel ride, and in fairness you don't get the deals you used to get in years gone by .... shop prices, whilst jostling with townies in their sparkling Dubarry boots and Barbour jackets!!! Lol .....
Anyway, the fishing ... water temp at 14 degrees , good news, but she is mega low and clear ...Ninja wading here of the slowest order !!! Tricky stuff , if you're not into stealth, get yourself on a bigger stream or wait till we've had plenty of rain, is my good advice !!!
But, where i could sneak in a cast, with tiny dries, bang, lovely confident takes !! Sedge and olives on the go from midday ... lovely to see dippers and three young kingfishers !!! Hope they don't get a taste for young trout !!!! Lol ........
Eight to mh net, three very respectable fish too, and that gorgrous buttery colouring. Superb stuff.
Leaves are starting to drop, and grey squirrels happily cracking open Hazel nuts above me !! Autumn nearly here folks ....A fab four hours from half eleven to half three , on another one tommoz hopefully, then guiding a gent out in the Elan Valley and a mountain lake next week .... Happy days !!!!!

Great day fishing for chub on the stick float, a surprise 2lb perch also. Lovely

10 Chub, 2 Other

Fished 7 hours, lure and spinner on bites or follows. Lots of mess left by anglers, I've got a side pocket full of line, and left the cans bottles bbqs and other crap.... couldn't have carried it all. Plenty of anglers catching on bait, most of them seemingly using power bait ( told as much by several). Gifted one 14 inch rainbow caught on bait by another angler.

Given the condition of the res, and the blatant disregard for rules, Im disinclined to return to this venue. Which saddens me .

Fly fishing the lower Usk Town. River level low, but providing good wadding access to deeper pools and runs. Other species caught - Dace. Both catches released
