Feedback & Reports

River quite clear, sporadic olives hatches during the afternoon but with only two fish seen rising with no pattern.
The upstream nymph method produced 4 lovely Usk brown trouts.
Very nice beat.

A fine day with sunny spells and cooler than the previous few days. Very few flies coming off and although we tried every method we could not entice any fish to take our flies.

Bright and sunny day - hot, in early April. No rising fish seen and little in the way of surface fly, but a nymph fished deep worked, with a couple of fish of 12 to 14 inches. River level low and clear.

Very difficult day. Conditions were ok but the fish were just not interested!

Windy day for fishing, mixtures of sun and rain, river risen after days of raning. Not much surface activity , managed to hold one trout - pound,no more. Fished only few hours, but I will come back for another day.

Bright breezy day that made the fishing today pretty difficult. Water was in perfect condition. Only a couple of 12/13" fish today one on a nymph and the other to an Usk naylor wet fly, the only fish I saw rising all day. Sporadic hatch around lunch time, but the easterly wind and bright sun kept the fish down.

River falling slowly after flood the day before, cold wind, sunny in afternoon. Caught and returned two on dries during very short hatch at around 2pm, one on a nymph deep earlier in day.

More of a walk with a rod than a fishing session as the river was pretty high and fishable in only a couple of places, although dropping failry quickly. Plenty of LDOs caught in foam but nothing rising. There is a very tricky gate on the left bank as you go from fields to coniferous wood. The combination of unstable, tilted date and barbed wire meant I wimped out at that point. Couldn't open the gate or safely (for waders) climb over. Otherwise a very pretty beat with some very good habitat.

Full sun. Fished 4 hours to sunset. Saw no fish. No hatches.
