Three small trout on small dark klinkhammers, distance catch and release :). Quite a bit of fly life lots of needle flies, no rising fish though. Lovely stream but found the livestock barriers strung across the river very difficult to straddle and I'm 6'3" in fact I gave up on one set and called it a day. But all in all an enjoyable day. just one other point the track just before the bridge for parking is very deeply rutted and I feared ripping off my front bumper.

There was a strong downstream wind when we arrived. Periods of sunshine and cloud gave us a pleasant morning despite the wind. We caught 7 fish to 3/4lb on small tungsten PTN. At lunchtime the wind had moderated but heavy showers arrived. At about 4pm a sporadic rise started and we caught a further 12 fish mainly about 8"-10" on size 16 Parachute Adams, which the fish took with gusto! Two wet, cold but happy anglers set of a 6.15pm for the long drive home. Great fun !

No salmon seen or caught may have been better switching to fly rod for trout.

1 brown trout 1lb landed and returned, two others lost. Fishing very good wading tricky in places. Overall a lovely day..

River high and fast flowing, overcast with showers. Single graying of 10" caught towards bottom of beat with light-coloured nymph on quick-sinking leader. A lovely stretch of river and look forward to returning next year.

Very small fish. All returned

Nice stretch of river, we found two people already fishing from fishing 'stations' mid flow in the middle of the shallows which restricted us a little but hey ho!! We managed 3 chub and 1x 7lb barbel so not a bad day in the end. I would recommend a float rod on this beat as you can trot about 60 yards + from one of the top swims. Again beautiful settings and perfect healthy fish.

Whole days fishing. S.M. from Burleigh, Glos caught 11 WBT, I caught 8. Majority of the fish were between 0.5 and 1 lb. All were returned. A few larger fish hooked but lost. Many missed. Fish were taking PTN, Parachute Adams, Klink and Sedge.

The river was in great condition when I arrived at 11am. I got to the riverbank and found plenty of fish rising. Within 5 minutes I was into my first Usk brownie. A lovely fish of about 1 1/4lbs with more than a hint of red in it's flanks. The fight had seriously disrupted the pool I was fishing so I moved to the downstream end of the beat where I met the owner and discussed some possible tactics.

Over the next 2 hrs a further 2 fish of approximately the same size but minus the red hue were taken on #16 para adams while working the bottom 100yds of the beat. 2pm saw the hatch cease and fish stopped taking off the surface. So I moved upstream and briefly worked one of the pools mid-beat with some nymphs and no success. I then left the beat approx 3pm and headed homewards.

Much sunnier than the day before, spent more time taking pictures than fishing. Saw lots of fish, a pair of kingfishers, a mink and 3 cormorants. None caught.
