Decided to give one of the club's waters a go again before the next spell of wet and windy weather arrives as, in a little over a week, the trout season ends. Fished a shorter day than usual and went expecting to be bugging, as top of the water fishing has been so poor of late but, just about to start, I saw a couple of risers so fished the old trusted small HE emerger and had four fish on it and a dark olive Duck's Dun. Then bugged to no avail and headed up to a sheltered spot where a couple more risers came to the HE emerger, including a lovely 16" , one and half pounder. Hopefully there may be just a couple more decent days to admire a few more of these beautiful Usk fish before the end of the month.

1 Barbel

Fished from 12 noon to 5pm with spinners and floating and ledgered worm. No takes or bites in several locations. Very disappointing !

One small trout on a day that brought very bright sunshine in the morning, changing to a cool, overcast afternoon.
Many flies hatching all day but not many fish rising and those that were appeared to be very small.

A lovely Autumnal day on the river but with low and crystal clear water conditions far from perfect. Fish were hard to find, eight swims tried and the afternoon cloud cover changed little, however, we did manage a few fish, one Chub to float fished bread flake the rest to legered meat. The one Barbel came at last knocks, 8lb. 14oz. nice fish. All in all, quite a tough day for a half dozen Chub and one Barbel.

1 Barbel, 6 Chub
