Feedback & Reports

Cloudy and humid with large hatches of LO and BWO. 1 fish in the morning and 1 in the late afternoon both on nymphs. Very surprising as there was a lot of surface activity after lunch but the fish were incredibly selective and refused many dries.
A wonderful beat no less and we managed to avoid the storm predicted to arrive around lunchtime.

Rain all day made for tough fishing although river in very good condition. All methods used and eventually paid off with 2 nice Usk fish taken French Nymphing.

Was guided by Kim Tribe from the “real” Fly Fishing Wales. Started off with some hot fishing right out of the gate. Moved up to another spot, managed three fish, then the water got mucked up. Moved upstream and had some slow fishing until the last bit of water, where the fishing picked up a little.

The water looked better and there was daylight left, so we headed back to a beautiful flat for some dry fly fishing.

Stepped in the water and it was on right away! Caught 5- 6 in the top of the run and picked off four more on the way down. Caught a decent one in the tail out and called it a day.

If you want to fish with someone with decades of experience and real intimate knowledge of these streams, he is your guy!

Nothing doing during the day, but then a good evening rise from about 8.45 to 9.15, which I think was to spinners. Usk Jingler effective, with 4 fish up to 16 inches, with many of the feeding fish in thin, riffly water.

Very bright and warm day. River good height but strangely little fly.

Hot and bright, a lovely spot and delightful people. Rising fish were hard to find but Mssr Verdier lost a good one over 50cm and landed several more.

Warmth at last ! And Penpont looking lovely in the sunshine. Plenty of surface activity when we arrived but it soon petered out despite the fact that there was a smorgasbord of flies hat hatching for the fish to dine on.

We had 4 to hand, several more avoided the hook . One of the 4 was lassoed rather than hooked … best was a lovely 18 inch fish.

Bird life was wonderful too … along with the usual river suspects we saw yellow hammer, tree creeper and nuthatch

Few hours with a wet fly. Nothing caught. Lovely spot and good access.
