Fly fishing the Usk Res, what a waste of time and money. Anywhere you might get room for your back cast there will be some Eastern European gentlemen sat at the water’s edge with 3 rods a piece, power baiting (all set up with Carp alarms) plus the little bit of room that’s left, what is not overgrown and where there is enough space for a back cast, they will be walking around with their 4th rod spinning. The only time they won’t be spinning will be when they are walking back to the boot of their cars to put fish out of sight into freezer boxes.
Thought we would stay for the evening rise 19.30 onwards as the power baiters had left and just when you thought the fishing up the Usk Res, couldn’t be abused any more than you have already seen, cars pulled up, men get out, pull their telescopic rods out which are already set up and start spinning all around you. Place is a joke, roads are terrible, Res is unkept, Welsh Water turn up between 9am and 10.30 to check you have paid your money, anyone up to no good is either not there at that time or just stop abusing the fishing as they see the Welsh water vehicle arriving. The place is pouched and power baited to the extreme.

Fly fishing 0830 - 1200. A good few fish rising, not interested in larger flies but happy to take small buzzers, size 16. Went quiet after 1115, when the weather changed for the worse. Fish caught seemed to be mostly recently stocked with poor fins.

Myself and grandson went fishing today. He is 11 years of age and just started fishing. My grandson caught the two trout fishing worm on the bottom. I didn’t catch anything and for an 11 year old who I’m trying to introduce to fishing it was great.
Better him than me. He hasn’t let me forget it all day.

This is the first time we’ve caught anything or had a bite in the last three visit to Usk Reservoir and until today we were very disappointed. I hope he is still interested and wants to go back.
Many Thanks,
Brian & Harri.
