3 barbel, 9lb, 7lb and 6lb caught on halibut pellets. A very nice place to spend the day fishing, thank you.

Lovely beat. Sadly no Salmon seen or caught. Slightly bewlidered why you don't seem to see Salmon showing on the Wye or Usk, I haven't seen a single one this season. Sat and watched the falls for a bit but nothing showed. Still, lovely day with over 35 Trout and around 5 Grayling caught when I gave up on the Salmon!

10 x trout 6-11 inches, 1 x grayling 10 inches. Virtually nothing rising, although some modest trout were prepared to come up to play when invited, mainly with an Orange Otter. Not so the grayling this morning: just one small one taken with a nymph on the bottom.

Water deep and fast flowing, nil catch

A lovely day without yesterday's harsh downstream wind. River at 0.6m on the Cilmery guage. Some upwings, but little fly to get fish going and so, few rises. We both fished duo for most of the day then, given the success of the floating duo flies, went just to dry for a while, tried bugging (to no avail in DC's case) and latterly spiders in GW's (with some success). Had about 35 fish between us on the day, about fifteen of which were grayling and the rest trout from small to 14". A few grayling of 10" but most over 12" and several of 14-16", up to around 1.5lb. Fish taken on nymphs and on either Elk Hair Caddis or Grayling Steel Blue. Others were missed or came off and, of course, there was "the one that got away" - a big smash-take by a large trout which disappeared with the EHC! All in all, a lovely day's fishing on a beautiful beat.

24 Barbel, 5 Chub, 3 Roach & 3 Eels on pellets and meat. Most of the fish from one swim.

Early start to find height perfect but a bit of unexpected colour clearing through the day. Fellow rod Steve took a fish later which showed my timing or competence was the issue - probably the latter !

1 Barbel and 1 chub.

None caught, had few takes on dry but missed them. River was full and slightly discoloured.

A lovely day's fishing although we had to leave relatively early (2.30pm) to get back to London. There were fish rising on the flats 100 or so yards up from the bridge. Caught 3 trout (to about 1lb) on Olive imitations. There were Grannom, the odd Large Dark Olive, many smaller Olives and the occasional Yellow May Dun, all on the water at various times and the water level and clarity were both excellent. Great fun.
