Feedback & Reports

A very (very) wet day and a bit cold. But there were a few small hatches and we caught 3 and missed a few more. (1 about 1lb the others a bit smaller) All caught on dry flys rather than nymphs.

A tough day, bright sunlight, not much rising and a considerable array of kids, dogs and sticks. I was pleased with 4 fish.

Half day. Cold , cloudy & breezy. Just one good trout on an Adams

Clear bright, plenty of fly not a deal of interest, river approaching summer levels, NZ style most productive in faster water with the nymph taking most. 4 rods.
Wading is pretty good for an Usk beat. The biggest problem with access is whilst out of the water, don't tackle up until you are on the banks as the steps down to the beat are overgrown risking rods, be prepared to limbo under fallen trees. Old men with stiff back will struggle. Much of the water towards the top end is inaccessible due to dense willow. Our fourth visit therefore can't be a bad water, £35?

Cold water, windy, some hatches between 12 and 16 but no relevant activity... Only small trouts with wet and nymphs.

Very bright warm conditions resulted in few flies hatching and subsequently few fish rising. Best tactics were wet fly in the faster water.
