5lbs caught by Nick James from Ferry and another lost. Party of canoeists caused disruption (no fish caught later) and claimed existing agreement null and void. Spoke to them at Boughrood and found that majority of canoeists had been misled by leader into undertaking trip.

An enjoyable days fishing; sadly no salmon today (except a kamikaze trout in the Ferry Pool) although with the water at about a foot on the gauge conditions felt good. It was nice to catch up with Roger Kempshall who was also fishing Gromain as we hadn't seen him since last year.

Fishing for salmon, but one nice trout (bit over a pound) hooked and returned as it was out of season.

Fishing with guide who had booked the beat (Illtyd Griffiths). One salmon about 10 1/2 lbs from the Ferry Pool, taken on an Usk Grub. This was my first salmon! River still at good height, dropping after rain the previous weekend.

A bright clear day made a change from all the rain we had on Saturday. River still high but dropping back to its normal level by the day end. Because of the difficult wading conditions kept close to the bank and worked my way up stream. All fish came from Spring Pool Gutter on weighted beaded nymphs - Red tag/Pink bug. Lost two good fish but hooked into a very nice Grayling 14" on the Pink bug and after a short fight landed and carefully released. Had a few knocks but river still running too high, so I called it a day at about 5pm.

1 Grayling, 1 Other

Fished in the morning, but river was rising and colouring up very rapidly so we ended up only managing a couple of hours.
