11 Trout, 7 Grayling

** WUF UPDATE** Llyn Bugeilyn has reopened for bookings in 2017

19 x trout 10-15 inches, dry fly and spiders. We had a long wait to get started this year, but at last the Usk dropped to a level making fishing possible, with quite a nice colour to the river, even if the current was still strong. A warm rather dull day with a slow burning large dark olive hatch going on for quite a few hours from 10 o'clock on. Dark Moorgame was the favoured one from a team of spiders, while an Olive Jingler got 8 fish which were hitting duns on the surface. All done by 4 o'clock.

Three fish caught on worm with popup, other fish caught around me.

Lovely spring day with the river in good order despite the strong flow causing plenty of debris to whizz by. Had a barbel and a chub within an hour of starting then nothing till 5 o'clock then four fish in four casts. Finished with 4 barbel and 2 chub caught on halibut pellet with paste wrap. My fishing partner struggled, and paid the price for not starting in a swim he had identified as being the most likely to produce . Whilst he dallied another fisherman dropped into that peg and had a good day. He ended the day with a minnow and a grayling .

River high though falling; some colour. Weather very mild, mostly cloudy. Fished steadily during the afternoon with all barbel in about the 5 to 6 lb range on pellet. They seemed to move on after about 4.30 and the chub took over with 2 caught and several missed bites. A very good late season session.

Nobody told Mr Whiskers that conditions were perfect. A tough day on Courtfield for both of us - not sure why. Rang the changes with swims, bait and method but one bite and a single lovely barbel.

Great experience, what a stunning setting. I'll be going back.
