Feedback & Reports

Have to say I was really very disappointed with this beat. I’ve been before and use the wye Usk foundation a fair amount but the access to this beat is abysmal. I counted three potential access points along the whole beat. Whether it’s the cost involved to get this improved I don’t know, but I know I’m not the first to have this problem. If this is the situation in March it will only get worse as the foliage develops.
I gave up and went to Abernant and was rewarded with a lovely chunky grayling. Sorry to moan and I really appreciate the quality of the fishing you offer and am happy for this to be a charitable donation.

A lot of water pushing through and still a bit of colour in the water. No real hatches but saw the odd LDO in the air. Saw the root ball of some Japanese Knot weed that had been washed out on the right bank two thirds of the way up near where the trib enters the main river. Might be worth taking look before it gets a hold. Thanks W&U :-) .

River heavily discoloured and unfishable.

Fished an evening ticket - blank. Had about 8 takes but one of those days, I just could not connect with them. Mostly smaller fish which hit like lightning, but at least a couple of decent fish too - they just didn't stick today. Lovely place to be as usual though!

One 10” brown on a CDC pheasant tail jig.

A few lovely trout on a dry sparkle caddis pattern. This is not the most accessible beat under normal circumstances, but now with head high Bankside vegetation it was very hard work cutting a path through, which I had to do on four occasions just to access the river.

Water quite low and weather hot. Takes on a pheasant tail but nothing brought to the net

Maybe its just me - but i thought access to the river was pretty tough and most of it wasnt accessible at all.
