Feedback & Reports

An excellent day, albeit a cold morning with consistent light rain. Temperatures rose nicely though, and from 12:00-14:00, a fantastic hatch of LDOs were enjoyed and two beautiful trout of 2lb and 2.5lb were landed and returned. 13:00 was the best of the action.

After a wonderful spring day yesterday, today started decidedly iffy. However as the day wore on things improved enough to precipitate a couple of solid March brown hatches. Five good trout caught and safely released, including a classic Penpont Porker: just 17" but 3lb weighed in the net. Fat, deep and strong! By 3pm the sun was shining and spring was back. A great pity I had to leave early!

Lovely day out, hard fishing in the cold wind.

Cold and strong downstream wind, rain and hail. Even so a very few olives hatching and one or two fish moving. 3 fish all on weighted nymph fished as deep as possible. Best fish was about 2lb, a lovely fish, returned of course.

Beautiful, sunny spring day but cold wind and water low. No fish showing.

River low and clear. Overcast, no wind. A few olives from around 11am and a few trout showing at 1 30pm. Caught two good fish in a fast run close to the bank on drys in the morning.

Lovely beat with lots of nice looking water but didn't catch or see a rising fish all day. Only saw a brief flurry of upwings around lunch time but these went un-disturbed by the fish. Enjoyed the day and the spring sunshine but will probably keep my powder dry on returning until the weather warms up and hatches become more consistent. Good to be back on the Usk!

Nice day except for the gusty upstream wind,temperature good for this time of the year so plenty of hatches,mainly upwings. 2 small WBT caught on a size 18 cdc emerger and made
all the more enjoyable as they were taken on a fabulous Luke Bannister cane rod! Perfect for a river like this and already looking forward to next year!

There was reasonable water and a few flies hatching, although the fish never really quite got going. Small emergers were the order of the day.
2 fish and a great day on this lovely beat.
Many Thanks and looking forward to next season.
