Feedback & Reports

We caught 3 trout, one about one and a half pounds to a nymph. River seemed strangley subdued very little rising could not catch on the dry fly.

Fished for trout as the water was low. Two caught, one fell to an emerger and one to a wet.

Arrived at 11 intending to fish for Salmon, but the river was very low so thought that it would be pointless to do so this far up, so went for trout instead.
We caught 4 fish between the 3 of us. All on Olives or variations of, in the faster moving water immediately above and below the island. One was probably 1 and 1/2 pounds the others 3/4 pound.
Really great beat to fish, although a lack of waders does restrict you to the lower section of the beat.

A great stretch of the Usk . 4 wbt caught to 15", all very good quality fish. All taken with dry olive patterns. Lots of fish rising, tricky casting in a strong westerly wind. Wading to cast to the far bank was a challenge. Will come back for sure.

Wow! what a beat. I personally only fished a short stretch of the water and as we were leaving on the long drive home, we only fished for a short while. I would return to explore this water any time - and will do so at the first opportunity. I lost one really good brownie and returned another decent trout of around a pound in weight to fight another day.

Lovely beat, water levels low managed to get four trout to the net but lost around 5 all fish caught around the islands definitely be returning all caught on weighted tungsten nymph with the exception of one which came to the dry fly.

Very little sign of fly life when I started, so I put a PTN on the point and a GRHE on the dropper and started to work my way down from the bottom of the steps. Caught a very active fish of about 11" with my 5th cast. Connected with, but lost what felt like a very good fish further down and then changed to a dry sedge as a few fish began to rise. Action stopped mid afternoon and no further rises, so packed up at about 5.30 pm. I am sure there are good fish there, but this was not their day!

A great beat with some lovely runs and lies. Water was clear and fast and a great hatch of caddis occurred for most of the day. 2 x fish caught and returned. One on a dry caddish the other on a hares nymph. Too bright for the most part but a wonderful day.

Nice sunny warm day. Minimal grannom & very occasional rise. Nil else hatching. Nil caught. Disappointing.

Very cold by the Beacons this Sunday, both wind and water. Water level high and quite dark - clearly recent rains still having an impact. Good days fishing, but nothing caught...
Did see a small hatch around 2pm of dark olives, but no fish rose.
