Had hoped to try for Salmon but none showing. Reasonable trout fishing with 5 fish (4 returned) on GHRE, PTN and Bibio

Did not see any salmon, but any caught loads of brownies. Lovely looking water and easier wading (on the whole) than previous beats - although very nearly had to ditch the rod, as thought I'd gone too far and got caught by the current.

On a really warm day I would have expected to see more fly activity on the river but there didn't seem to be much hatching all day. Only saw a few fish rising and targeted these, between us we managed four trout including one real beauty in excess of two pound caught by my fourteen year old son and two grayling up to a pound. The trout were taken on either a klinkhamer or an adams and the grayling on a nymph which was fished when nothing was rising.
An easy river to fish in beautiful surroundings but on the whole a bit dissapoimted as I would have expected to have seen more fish.

Caught - Nil. Beautiful day. Big hatch of flies. More difficult to wade than anticipated.

5 gorgeous brown trout, all returned:

2.5 lb
2.25 lb
1.5 lb
12oz
8oz

Cool and breezy. Not a massive amount of activity, but a few fish were rising well to small duns, yet ignoring large mayflies which were reasonably abundant. All caught on v. small parachute adams and small nymphs.

Beautiful big fish, very hard fighting. Shame this beat isn't catch and release only.

We caught 3 salmon par and 1 brown trout all about 4-8oz on a small weighted pheasant tail nymph/ gold headed hares ear nymph. The water was clear but still running high.

Lovely stretch of water with good pools. One rod blanked but had an enjoyable day. I caught two brown trout, both returned unharmed (barbless hooks), about 8 ozs and 12ozs. As usual with Usk trout they hit the fly hard. It took several casts through the pools with little knocks before they took, so I knew they were there. Successful fly was a wet traditional Greenwells glory fished on a dropper about two feet above an olive nymph goldhead. No fish were seen rising all day, which was surprising.

Good helpful and friendly tel. booking service. Thanks for a lovely day out.

Did not see any salmon - but caught 15 trout in 2hrs (to about 1.5lb). I think the trout boys are doing it wrong and shouldn't bother with size 16 Adam's and stick to size 8 purple ally's or sunrays.

Lovely water to spend an hour or two on.

2 x 8oz brown trout - one on parachute adams dry fly, one on nymph

Lost a nice trout which was estimated at +1lb, but otherwise no takes by either rod.
