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

Laura's second try of catching a Salmon and a 10 lb Salmon was landed and returned caught on a spinner. Redbrook has been hot all week lots jumping that gives you hope.

6lbs fish on F.C.

River good, fish rising, none caught, fished at Aberfan foot bridge, it is difficult to get down to the river at this point and the amount of rubbish in the river is disturbing

9.10am a fresh salmon caught on fly in the Cafn.

I fished from 11am-4pm on a fairly cool overcast day. 8 trout were caught on single cdc dry flies, 1 on a Klinkhammer and 7 on a beaded PT nymph fished under a Klinkhammer. The fish were a variety of sizes up to 12 inches. Not many fish rising when I arrived but more seen as the afternoon went on. Lots of wildlife about including an otter [think it was too big to be a mink] which swam into the pool I was fishing before it spotted me and scampered up the bank.

One caught on dry fly one on wet fly. The river looked in perfect condition and the weather was warm, sunny intervals and no rain. There were many flies, mainly olives and sedges on the water but very few fish showing any interest.
We had difficulty finding our way beyond the Flats. Both fish were returned in good condition.
Online service was very good.

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.
