Just for the Rectory records (This fish in June):
I finally managed to break my duck at the Rectory with a good solid take in the Rock pool-- followed by instant stripping of line to the backing--
then a display of cartwheels,tail walking and slicing the water. After recovering line, more antics and then finally a hen fish of about 12lbs hooked firmly in the mouth with a Stoats tail.
A pleasure to see her swim away.
Height 1'9", colour and rising-- time 12.00 am.
Usk Grub, sink tip.

Great day but salmon seemed inexplicably dis-interested in what I was offering. I did eye-ball one on Gravel Catch as it leaped clear.

Height 1'6, coloured, fished 1pm -6.30 Mill/Rectory 3X/Glangwye. 2 Salmon seen in Rectory pool. None caught. 4 BT to 1lb, returned.
Thanks

12 chub to over 5lbs.

It was nice to be able to fish this beat in the Summer for coarse fish. Fished the Mill Pool but only managed 3 chub to 4lbs and missed a couple of bites, all on luncheon meat.

Return is one trout about a pound and a good shad of about 2 pounds. Quite a shoal of them at the top of the beat.

A nice couple hours evening fishing. Despite the cool temperatures there was still reasonable hatches of olives and yellow mays. 5 BT to 12", 2 small, out of season grayling and 2 dace, all to cdc olive emerger patterns.

Fished from around 6pm through to 10pm. Gusty, cold wind seemed to limit the fly hatches although there plenty of sedges with a few olives and yellow mays around during the calmer moments. Ended up with 12 brown trout to 1.5lbs and 2 out of season grayling, all on a tan klinkhammer. Had quite a few takes when the fly was dragging across the surface.
