10 Barbel, 2 Chub

The chub apocalypse continues. Some barbel are still there and in good condition, but getting bait down to them through the insane chub shoals is very difficult. The path down to the bottom island swims is pretty treacherous now so exercise great caution, especially if carrying a lot of gear.

Only 6” on the Llanstephan gauge but water temp was 16.2C to around 17.5C later in the day. Most fish taken on an Usk Nailer and Woodcock and purple on a dropper with few taking a nymph. Some good grayling , all adult fish with little sign of any schools of shots, but the trout were mostly small bar a couple of 10”ers and one of around a pound and a half. As usual , very little surface activity. Had a nice chat with the beat owner out walking her dogs.

A lovely evening on the Usk, fishing from around 7pm to 9.30. There were a few fish rising on arrival and I was quickly into a good one that took a #18 cdc shuttlecock emerger but which came off at the net. 2 very decent trout were then landed, one a shade under 3lb (weighed in the net) and the other 3 1/4lb, both to the shuttlecock emerger, followed by some smaller <1lb fish. Rises increased at about 9pm but they suddenly weren't interested in the fly that had previously worked, nor anything else I cast at them. I finished up with two dace (a species I hadn't caught in this part of the Usk before) and a chunky salmon parr, after which I called it a night.
