14lb fish reported from Spreadeagle yesteray.
24 and 13lbs today from the Rectory today. Well apparently. Fly (Simon Evans apparently)
No names of captors or method so one can only  assume reports are correct.
Another from the Rectory 11lb to Mark Purvis.
4 fish from the Nyth 12/15lbs to one rod. Anon.
Rhosferig. Bill Baxter 15lbs
Spreadeagle. 15lbs to JohnWatkinson on fly.

 Pretty much where you would expect the fish to come from.   Looks like there should be fish on most beats on the upper river now with a promising weekend ahead.
Good to see some are getting a small glimpse of how its used to be.!!!
