Feedback & Reports

Having purchased a permit for both Dinas & Abercynrig, my uncle and myself took turns fishing up both beats. In the pleasant sunshine at the start of the day a good number of upwings were coming off though we saw few fish respond. However, plenty of fish in the 0.75-1lb range came to hand using tungsten beaded nymphs including Hares Ear and PTN. Best fish of the day came from the ripple at the top of the Abercynrig beat and weighed approx 1.5lb. Very enjoyable day with plenty of spotted beauties to hand. Hard to believe the seasons end is almost upon us!

Fished a dropping flood, several trout fell to my tube fly but no salmon,very enjoyable day though,lovely stretch of the Usk.

6 Trout

Sunshine and heavy showers. Saw just one rise all day so I suspect that nymphing would have been more productive than wet fly. 2 small WBT

Lovely soft, warm day with showers, river low and clear. No sign of feeding trout today however and four hours' fishing produced only a couple of knocks, so with the main pool getting rather hammered by two of us I decided to give it best. I am not convinced that with low water this beat is big enough for two anglers, as there is so much slack water in the middle and at the bottom end. Studded waders recommended for the slippery stones.

hooked and lost a reasonable fish on the bottom pool but river initially quite low and very clear, rose and had some colour after heavy shower but no luck - tried dry, wet and upstream nymph
