2 x double figure fish and 4 between 5 & 9lbs. 1 x fish weighing 11.11 was caught 3 weeks ago by my colleague weighing 11.03. Method feeder with pellets/boilies as hook bait.

What an amazing place. Waggler fished meat/maggot in fast water until 3pm when the river was shadowed - nothing. Then feeder fished pellet and long hook link and caught 2 chub and a barbel at the end of the fast water. Thank you.

1 Barbel, 2 Chub

Very enjoyable day, river very low and clear, canoe traffic very light. Ended up with a barbel a piece, not bad for a hard days fishing. Will be back soon.

River very low and clear. 1 chub of around 2lb and 3 barbel 5.10 6.8 and 7lb. All the fish were in great condition and came from the faster section at the top of the beat. A fantastic place to fish and we can't wait to fish it again. Thanks to Wye and Usk.

No fish caught. Had a few hits. River levels ok.

Good job we brought the pike gear, as only a few silvers were obliging. Definitely not a low water beat. 2 very tentative chub bites all weekend to 2 rods. CW outnumbered TM, but TM pulled out the big gun. Quality fishing hut provided. Shame Vanstone pool not part of beat.

Once again a beautiful day in the countryside. River clear and off the bottom end of the gauge. More trout visible and rising (obviously aware of the close season!). Enjoyed heckling each others speycasting, which is coming on in leaps and bounds. Three coloured grilse showed from cables downwards, but in slack water were unimpressed by small spinners. No fish but in two weeks we will be ruing the long wait 'til next season.

10 x grayling 8-14 inches, dry flies. These were wanted for DNA sample research (swabs taken and fish returned). It always seems to be harder when you have to catch a certain number. The water was right down at 0.21 on the gauge, the pools were like still lakes thickly covered in leaves and even the gutters hardly moving. A big wind was blowing as the weather front came over, dropping even more leaves on the water. Grayling generally reluctant to rise, but a very thinly dressed size 18 Grey Duster on 6X tippet was taken sometimes.

Good day until some new anglers to the res decided to fish right over us spinning away and totally spoiling the rest of our day. Caught 5 on bottom 2 on bubble float and 1 spinning. Hope this don't happen again.
