Feedback & Reports

Water levels very low. Extremely hot and bright. Saw the occasional rise. Very difficult conditions.

A nice day but it's a real shame the river is in such poor health. No weed growth and sediment all over the river bed. Not the live int he river that there use to be.

14 in trout on nymph. Stopped fishing lunchtime as too hot.

bright sunshine - not a lot of fish activity on the river - nothing caught

Parked in the layby on the A465 and made my way upstream. Weather cloudy with sunny intervals and a very annoying downstream wind. Tried nymph in the fast riffles at the bottom of the beat with one take that I didn't make contact with. Changed to dry when a large hatch started around 11am, but for some reason this season I can't make good contact with the fish. Dozens of takes but only one 12 inch fish landed.

Although there were people walking on the far bank I wasn't bothered, and the dog walkers respectfully kept their dogs out of the water once they spotted me.

Couple of hours in the evening. Caught two brownies of about 2lb.

Lovely conditions and had a few bites.

Didn't catch anything, but saw a couple of small trout jumping, and plenty of flies out. Nice spot to fish.

Only there for 3 hrs to finish off the weekend visit to the Usk. Fished new Zealand style, downstream and Czech nymphing. Didn't get a bite but saw a couple of rises.

Nice beat, very public at the top end but the lower end is away from the public. Good hatch until the weather turned
