Feedback & Reports

Warm, overcast, rainy, and a slight breeze gave us pretty good conditions. Water was low and clear, and coloured slightly as the day went on. Fish were caught throughout the beat, with abundant fly-life bringing an opportunity for some terrific sport using dries. Most fish were between 1 and 1.5 lbs, and all were safely returned. A particularly productive day for us - we don't usually fish from 08:30 until 21:30. A great day out, on a wonderful stretch of River.

Skinny water bright , no hatches , very hard fishing but easy wading and walking after 2 days on the rocks . I prefer the rugged bedrock beats even if they do kill my knees 2 tiddlers , left at 7 pm due to long drive home , Long stretches of slow water and not many shady deep hiding places . Not my kind of Usk fishing

My brother and I had a wonderful days fishing with very tricky fishing with the dry fly only. The fish were rising to a whole range of flies, but often very selectively. We caught 6 brownies the best being around 1 3/4 pounds.

Cloudy breezy 18*. Plenty of fish rising, but mostly mopping up the the small spent flies passing through. We caught seven fish, losing several others, all on nymphs, except one on a dry Adams. Most fish 3/4 lb to 1lb Best fish 1.1/4lb

( 21st May should have been 8 trout best fish 2lbs )

All fish taken by my fishing buddy, the last fish was a particularly fine specimen, all taken on nymphs. Glorious sunny day with very little fly life to report except a few Mayflies.

Booked this beat and Abercynrig for the day. Shame this isn't a single beat any more . What seemed like perfect conditions were immediately laid to rest with a very stiff downstream breeze. I No sustained hatch during the day but the off fish rising. Caught the 3 fish by prospecting rather than covering rising fish. Stubbornly stuck with dries which meant a rather frustrating day with the breeze. . one fish were around 6" 8" and 10" respectively.
