Feedback & Reports

Fished in the meadow stretch as we had been advised by Don that the river was still a little high for the woods swims. River fining down and looked almost perfect but fishing was very slow compared with yesterdays results. Finished with 6 barbel and 11 chub topped by a 9lb 13oz barbel at about 7pm. A lovely looking stretch of river in a very tranquil setting. Will certainly return. Thanks again to Don for his help and encouragement.

0600 - 1200, two fish landed, 14lbs fresh runner and 19lbs slightly coloured. Both on a fly led near surface from two main pools. Fish carefully meausured and returned strong. I am over the moon, a morning to remember. Thank you.

Fished from 4:15. With occasional rising fish decided to fish dry. Caught two WBT to 0.5 lbs on CDC Olive emerger and micro midge patterns. Both fish returned. Failed to bring several others to hand.

First outing on the Usk, thanks wuf for the recomendations. Worked hard all day & struggled to catch the 3 fish to 8 ins by 1800hrs. but then after a tip off from the wuf, evening rises had been good recently. I decided to stay on, good move finshed at 21.45 with 13 to 16ins, the last ten all being a good size & taken off the top on a h/e emergers.
good fishing, great surroundings, fantastic advice, thanks

Water level high but only slightly coloured. Fished afternoon. Several small WBT on various dry and GRH, all returned. Memorable sight of family of small otters (?) playing in the tree roots on opposite bank just a couple of rod lengths away. Also memorable were the fierce horseflies and prize nettles!
We will return!

Salmon 15lbs landed, another lost in rock pool. Fish taken, water 1m, fc red/black.

No fish at all didn't see one.
I believe you must help numbers by breeding salmonoids
It's working very successfully in Canada.

Conditions were spot on water was a good height and overcast until 3:30pm. Saw two salmon (running fish) and had a good pull which took line from the reel but never connected (from the bathing pool). Such lovely fly water and a lovely beat. Will be back again.

Fished upstream from the Orchard.
Only 1 x 2lb chub - missed several more!
Still a fair bit of current to the river.

2 rods fished whole day. River holding at 2ft. 1 very fresh hen fish of around 11lb from Gravel catch around 9.30am. Another strong pull missed in Bridge pool in the morning and a fish lost in the Bridge pool after 20 seconds in the afternoon. 4 shad. Saw four salmon show which is notable as have seen very few in past month or so. Trout were steadily rising all day in the Gravel catch and Bridge flats.
