Feedback & Reports

Fished 7 hours, lure and spinner on bites or follows. Lots of mess left by anglers, I've got a side pocket full of line, and left the cans bottles bbqs and other crap.... couldn't have carried it all. Plenty of anglers catching on bait, most of them seemingly using power bait ( told as much by several). Gifted one 14 inch rainbow caught on bait by another angler.

Given the condition of the res, and the blatant disregard for rules, Im disinclined to return to this venue. Which saddens me .

Fly fishing the lower Usk Town. River level low, but providing good wadding access to deeper pools and runs. Other species caught - Dace. Both catches released

Never fished

Started 2.30pm. Nice temperature at about 22C. Water levels extremely low. On landowners advice I focused on the top half of the beat where there are more riffles and moving, oxygenated water. Waded alot. Didn't see any fish moving so was focusing on Euro Nymphing (never done it before so haven't got the hang of how to do it really) and caught the two grayling hours apart in turbulent water beneath natural weirs on goldhead copper wire-bodied nymph. Saw one trout (not grayling?) rise at about 8pm and then put it down as I tried to reach it with lobbed nymphs. The nature of this very beautiful stretch of river is that there is lush undergrowth everywhere so not sure I would have managed to cast a fly-line properly too often.

2 Grayling

A great morning's fishing despite the low and clear river conditions all fish caught using ledgering tactics stopped fishing around 2pm when the canoe traffic got too hectic but all in all a lovely little stretch!
