River very quiet, nothing hatching, nothing rising.

The day was very windy, so no fly hatches and no rising fish. Only fished for a couple of hours, nothing seen. Note that this beat is very overgrown - much more than in previous seasons.

All on dry fly. Perfect conditions....warm, overcast, not too windy, water slightly above normal height, very clear. Olives hatching throughout the day.

Half decent day considering the blustery winds, so made for the pools on the bends for some shelter and fished Klink and dink. All fish apart from one fell to a GBGRHR, thankfully I didn’t lose it as it was the only one I had in the box. Must make some more.
A few more mayfly about than last week, but these fish still haven’t switched on to them.
Thanks to the Wye and Usk Foundation.

DC and GC fished today, the water was quite clear and at a nice height, the banks as mentioned by another angler are becoming overgrown so access is not easy, however if you can get to the water the occasional fish can be caught. This day the fly hatch was sporadic with very few mayfly and no surface activity, possibly due to the bright sun. All in all though a nice day on a pleasant beat.

I found this to be a very challenging beat, it is very overgrown with very difficult access to the river (i had to bushwhack trough shoulder height nettles) and even harder egress. There were lots of fallen trees blocking the river, the only area that is easy to access is the central section where i picked out 2 nice 14" trout to a dry fly. I hooked and lost 2 others and missed strikes on 3 more so could have still been a productive day.

A nil return - nothing doing but a lovely spot.

Bad day to go fishing....water still pushing through no fish seen or cought

Lovely day to be out, shame about the fishing. Water pushing through but clear, not a sign of fly life and only 2 grayling caught by GC.

Very cold start to the day, however temperatures started to rise around noon and the fishing improved. Three very good Grayling taken on a jig hook tungsten bead nymph. Good company as well with Chris Charnley
