Feedback & Reports

A nice sunny day, I fished from the top of the beat down past the middle (in two stages middle first) there were a few trout rises, however I fished wet flies / nymphs touched on two but land no fish, (I just need to be quicker next time). This is a nice stretch of river well maintained, with sections to please / suite all anglers.
I will return to this very nice beat.

Water coloured and quite high

Lovely day on the water. Some Large Dark Olives around and fish taking the dry and nymph fairly well most of the day until the ebbing river level and temperature dropped about 4pm which was not great for the fishing although one or two fish still willing. Most fish around the 8oz-1lb mark with one or two larger ones and a long release on a 2lb+ fish! Thank you WUF for a memorable fishing day.

Great to be back by the Usk again. I hoped that the water would be just right, fining down after the rain; and indeed it was. But the fish had some other excuse this time.

River very low and clear

Bright sunny day with cool upstream breeze.
Not much happening until midday, at which point thd odd LDO started coming off. By 12.30 a few fish were showing and more olives about.
Accuracy in casting was tested with the blustery wind and long leader.
3 fish came up for the fly, 2 hooked and one refusal.
The action lasted less than an hour, which is the shortest I have noticed in the last 2 weeks (maybe due to the wind?)
Both fish similar size at about 1lb.
Very pleasant, if short, spell of fishing.

Very low water, a small spell of olives and a few rising fish at 1 pm for 1 hr

A nil return…
Early Season can be fickle, and today was fickle with a capital F….
A few Grannom, and few Large Dark Olives and a few smaller Olives.
And a few occasional risers.
But not enough to properly go at.
Great to be out on the river though.

5 beautiful Usk trout all of a good size 14-18 inches. Mixture of dry and nymphs. LDO hatch 12-2.
