Was on the river last night after sewin and fished the flood and ebb of the tide and not a fish was touched or seen.
Conditions seemed to be perfect.

With the tide came a shoal of mullet so decided to make the most of it.

Managed 2 fish in the 3-4 lb range at about 10 pm .Great fight.
The carried on after Sewin but nothing.

Sewinfly is that a Hardy Gem you are using , just wondered as I have one for my sea trout fishing and love it.

It's an orginal Gem 10ft 7wt bought it brand new when Sportsmail was still going in Cardiff many years ago
My N01 Sewin rod.Apart from my Enigma Mk111 10ft 8wt.
I usually use a Sharpes Aquarex 9ft 6wt for mullet which is quite similar to the Gem.

But last night I was after Sewin so just took the one rod and a few mullet bits with me.

Mine is an original as well 10' #8 had it from new , way back , also got a Mk 2 the same 10' #8 , I got the 8 based on the sea trout fishing but it's also a really nice reservoir rod , and the #8 comes in handy when the wind blows on the reservoir but it's also very nice with a #7 when conditions are good.
Illtyd Griffiths recommended it to me and it is such a lovely rod , I've had my original one back to Hardy's to be renovated a couple of years ago , when it came back it was like a brand new rod. I was told they were the last rods made at the Hardy factory. I use them for all my sea trout fishing and all my reservoir fishing.

Hi Damain
Had a couple of no real size.
Some nice mullet over 4 pounds.Which were really good.

Had 3 trips to the river Itchen at Woodmill Swaythling.
had about 12 Sewin with biggest to 5.5 Ib all fresh .

As I have a rod on the Usk I spend a lot of time on the salmon not a good year, biggest to 11 pounds and landed 5 with 3 lost.
My first salmon a fresh small springer was caught on the River Whiteadder at Berwick Upon Tweed during the month of May thought I was going to be on a roll

New rules from NRW in 2020 so will have to wait and see how that pans out ?

It will be interesting how these new rules effect us, although we know it's the fish at sea that need the most protection, I heard the usk had a not so good year , watching the results a lot say the same from most rivers throughout the uk.
