Nice to get out after such a dry spell with low water levels. John and I fished the top run and I picked up one chub of about 6 oz fishing sunken deer hair sedge. Fished this pattern sub surface till dark picking up three more chub of same size. One trout took and thrashed the surface before detaching itself. John Lewis decided to move to Woodstream for last hour and picked up 6 trout between 5 and 8oz on the black gnat wet fly with takes throughout the fast water down to the belly.
water quite warm and 0.42m. Lovely late evening fishing.

6 Trout, 4 Chub

Thank you for the booking. Very low water and no joy!

One hour in evening. Rose and missed three fish. Tricky with wind and declining temperatures

13” trout on small dh emerger. Not many fish rising.

Fished from early morning to midday, warm and overcast then brightened. River very slightly coloured following rain of previous day, but, nonetheless, ideal conditions. Early morning mayfly hatch and some fish rising. Tried black nymphs and spider patterns and resulted in 3 nice feisty trout of 8 - 10 inches from the faster water. Found a group of fishing rising consistently just below the bridge. Covered with Tups and caught 3 from the swim facing the Chainbridge inn; best a lovely 1 1/2 lbs brown in beautiful condition. 2 other browns from higher up the beat on mayfly patterns. One or two salmon moving in the platform pools. A lovely beat and great to catch some of the famous Usk brownies.

Hot and bright. Good olive hatch. No Mayfly as yet. Picky fish and few risers. Four netted largest over 2 pounds. Great day as ever.

River conditions looked ideal, Wood stream looked a cert! many hatches through the day, a few rises but nothing caught. very difficult to fish the Barn and The Oak, couldn't find a suitable entry. Fantastic weather though.
