Cold gusty downstream wind made things difficult however we still managed 6 trout to 37cm on dries.

Just had the most exciting morning fishing Wyebank - went out early, no signs, went back 9 and after 9.30 had a 10 pounder bottom pool and as I was playing it a fish porpoised and for the next 10 minutes or so fish like peas in a pod were porpoising through with one significant prince/princess amongst them which actually looked like a porpoise! Had another 10lb fish after they had passed and then a hook pull on another. Only fished the one pool for a couple of hours in all and then went back again midday fished the Wyebank run and lost another. size 8 black and yellow pinched barbs. Needless to say fresh fish in superb condition. Not a canoe to be seen all morning, brilliant, perfect level and clear with strong running water. Summer level.

Fished from 10 til 4 today and had some good fun on a #14 para Adams. Lots of fly life including a few mayfly starting to appear. All fish in good condition including the clonker which took off like a train and managed to wriggle himself off the barbless hook. Would of liked to get a good look at that one but never mind, I know where he lives.....

Rain previous day in mountains. Muddy. No catches.

lovely to fish the escley running with some water and pace. most fish came to size 20 f -fly and size 18 cdc olive. sizes were on average 10-12 inches with 2 at 14 and one belter caught in a deep pool of 16 inches .there was a brief hatch of mayfly which lasted 20 minutes , not in huge numbers, a few fish in one pool locked onto them so tied size 14 mayfly and brought them to hand. all fished released back to their lairs.

Thought I was the only one booked on the reservoir but another angler was fishing the spot I had earmarked? A beginner on stillwater trout fishing and blanked. Lovely location. Why no more stocking? Fly only - very little litter, unlike the Usk reservoir! Any tips? I hope to be back.

No fish caught, we saw at least 3 maybe 4 fish showing at the top end near the bottom croy, and at the bottom of the beat below the bridge in the deep part of the run off the pebbles. All clients had a great day and will be returning later in the year.
