Feedback & Reports

Good conditions, path is in terrible condition as someone else mentioned. About one fish rising every hour with frequency picking up about 8.30pm to a lot more jumping. Best fishing spots were occupied until late by locals swimming which seems to be a regular thing based on other comments.

No interest at all on a variety of dry flies I tried including gnats and olives.

Not suitable at all for bank fishers like me and you will need waders to get anywhere decent. Guidance on the website should be updated to reflect that. Was poor value for money and I wont return

Downstream breeze made conditions challenging. We had 2 trout on the nymph. Pleasant day only slightly marred by some tourists swimming in the river.

The river is looking good, although low, and conditions at around 7pm were perfect however, nothing rising apart from two very small trout. The path is atrocious and is very hard going, I still ache. I have decided not to fish here for a long time after yesterday's experience.

River up slightly after yesterday’s rain, carrying a bit of colour and pushing through quite hard so I wasn’t comfortable wading, it was also very cold. Gave it a quick go from the bank where I could but gave up and came home after a walk up the beat. No fish seen or caught.

River was bank high but running almost clear, making wading dangerous as well as the water being cold. A few midges about and I saw two or three large dark olives as well as rising one fish close to the bank in slacker water. The only trout, at around 12" came to a tungsten beaded hairs ear on the end of a team of wet flys. Several other tugs and bumps to the wet flys but all in all a good day considering conditions and how little of the water could be accessed when it is that high. In a few weeks it should be amazing.

This was my first time fishing the Usk, Llangynydr is a stunning location not far from Crickhowell , a very small village but lots of people here today as there was a festival happening.
Access to the river is good , parking is pretty close , lovely little shop in the village where you can get a slice of cake and a cuppa , which I did , very nice !
The track along the river is very rocky and slippy , if your not very surefooted be careful, I love anything like this though .
Unfortunately there were lots and lots of swimmers in here today , lots of commotion , it was to be expected though due to the great weather, and it being a bank holiday weekend .
Gave the fishing a good go but no success today , but on the positive side a great day here on the Usk , just beautiful. Will return in early spring when it’s less busy

No fish taken but few lost before the net

nice beat, no joke about needing studs/felt soles.
One WBT on a hares ear just by the bridge pool.
lots of swimmers/people in inflatables going down the river.

Sadly the water was too high and fast after heavy rain so I did not fish. Looks like a great beat for tout. I shall be back to try it when the conditions are better
