Feedback & Reports

Got there nice and early, grey and overcast but not cold. Caught two nice browns in lovely condition, the first was about 1lb caught on a grey wulff, second about 3/4 lb also caught on a wulff. Saw a much bigger one in the crystal clear waters but he was smart and not having any of it. Both fish I caught were returned, great day, lovely surroundings and what more could I ask for.

Nothing caught.

Sadly, nothing about but enjoyed casting a line at Glan-y-Cafn. Very impressed by ease of booking - thank you WUF.

Gorgeous river and scenery, could do with some cutting back in places. 0 fish caught but was more my fault than the river or fish. Day was cut short due to other commitments, so missed evening fishing, will book again.

Walkways as described in beat details are in a bad state.
I switched to trout fishing, caught one (returned).

Excellent system which was new to us. Dai, thanks for help and Advice.

Went out with excellent Guide Chris Price to discover the secrets of Welsh River Fishing. Thank you. Dries and Nymph under dry fly "indicator".

Three lovely fish but the very bright sun in the afternoon effected a retirement to the the pub.

After a slow start caught a nice fish about 1/2lb on a PTN. Then around lunch time there was a small hatch & fish started rising & caught 4 more fish, 2 at about 1lb & 2 at about 3/4lb, all on a brown Klinkhammer.

1 brown trout
Access to the river was poor. The island and the opposite bank were totally inaccessible. Needs maintenance.

Plenty of water. Mayfly patterns best. All fish released.

We were blessed with fine weather and a falling river. Almost every fly within season were seen, LDOs, March Brown, Hawthorn and clouds of Gnats. All fell to Olive F fly, best a fat 18" brown which took exception to being hooked and the net. A good water with a good mix of features, access to the left bank fishing needs commitment. A feature of the beat less attractive to the fly fisher is the public nature and easy access to all, a dog walker with Olympic standard labs could easily reach a ball thrown to mid stream in a single bound and as the temperature rose the local swimming pool lost out to the Usk, but it did however gain litter and baby wipes.
