1 fish 3/4 lb returned goldhead ptn. Cold day but enjoyable.

5 chub up to 3lb 14oz some on bread, some on sweetcorn.
2 pike biggest about 8lb on Sardines.

First and biggest chub came second cast promising a good day. Other than the pike, which I took whilst roving during the afternoon, my next bite came at 6.15pm. Between then and 7pm I had a further four chub and missed another 4 bites. Probably should've gone fine line and maggot feeder during the day as it was very bright and water is pretty clear.

Still a very plesent day on a really attractive and varied piece of water.

What a lovely bright cold sunny day it was with a frisky easterly wind.

When the winds in the east the fish bite least, then when my brother was back to the car away went his rod.

1 barbel of 5lb,better than nothing.

No salmon seen.

Lovely bright day with the river fining down nicely.
No Salmon showing though and so consequently drew a blank.

Nothing caught or seen. Very cold, bright and windy.

Fished for barbel all day in one spot hoping to intercept any on the move. Not a touch all day. Water temp was 40deg so not really surprising. The wind was rather cold but sitting behind the shelter in the sun was very pleasant. I was booked in for the following day when I had planned on a more mobile approach. Overnight the temperature dropped to minus 5 so I did not even bother going back, I went home instead. Roll on the start of the new season!

Colin had a kelt on a Flying C. Nothing else seen.

Not surprisingly, given the weather, we caught nothing. But it was nice to be out and about.

Arrived at whitehouse at 8.30 after a walk i managed to find a peg I fancied at the bottom end of the beat and away i went. I had a chub about 4lb first chuck and another second chuck. Lost 1 third chuck then waited 15 mins for the next bite and landed a lovely barbel about 8lbs all on pellet. Then it was just like someone switched the fish off and I didnt have another bite on the feeder which coincided with the cold easterly wind getting up but managed 2 small chub and a stray trout on float fished sweetcorn towards the end of the day. A very nice beat and will fish again in the summer thanks very much Wye and Usk Foundation

I good opening day. First trout of the season came to a dry and turned out to be a 12" Rainbow trout. Had another 7 fish after that all Brownies. A smattering of olives could be found in the back eddies between 1 and 2PM
