Lower Llangoed 12.10pm 14lbs cock for Charles Tweedie on orange conehead

1 Salmon

13lb and 9lb from the Orchard in the morning on Usk Grub and cascade.

A lovely beat, but probably one better suited for salmon than trout, we decided to fish the pocket water down by the rapids, which was excellent sport. 3 nice trout (largest about 1.5lb) all to snipe and purple spiders.

Firstly many thanks to all who made the fishing available its a fantastic spot and even gave up a Salmon to me today and has done in the past.We had a bright sunny day but enjoyed the top end under the trees then went down to the Llangoed pool and gutters which at 1ft4" was getting a bit low for fly fishing though a good trout took a h

24 May Lower Langoed 13lbs cock to Charles Tweedie on Gold Willie Gunn (Other included in above form was a 3lb Shad)

Fished nymphs through the Rectory or inniswye most trout caught in the Millstream area and the Rectory pot. Fished size 14 ptn and grhe. No action on the dries. 12 fish up to 1.5 lbs with interesting variations in spots photographed. This is a wonderful beat and three hours fishing the head and then the tail of one pool served as a tantilising introduction to its amazing potential to hold top quality specimen fish. I am delighted to have the chance to fish it during the WUF conference. Incidentally the conference was brilliant and a testament to a strong team of individuals who have suceeded in implementing a comprehensive restoration program for the Wye and Usk which will yield benefits to society for generations to come

Fished the bottom part of the beat and river looked in good condition although perhaps needing some rain. Saw just a couple of rises but was unable to find any fish with dry flies or in the pocket waters in the rapids searched with nymphs. Whilst standing in the shallows, a pike of perhaps 4 or 5lb cruised right up to me before making eye contact and rolling with a splash away. The setting for the beat is spectacular and I watched a red kite circling overhead as compensation for the lack of a catch.

Bright sunny day. No surface activity, no real hatch. Fished nymphs. 7 trout between 8-12 inches and one grayling. As usual the big one got away! Only fished the rapids at the bottom of the beat.

7 Trout, 1 Grayling

A lovely day but not for fishing - the river was low and we saw very little on either the lower or upper section. Hooked two out of season Grayling and two small brownies between us. Lovely beat though.
