Feedback & Reports

2 small brown trout were caught and released on dry fly. Both were under half a pound.

The Fenni Fach stretch was very difficult to access in most places and we only found about 2 or 3 spots along the entire length that we could get a decent enough back cast, there were simply too many trees along the entire length. Admittedly the river was fairly high but even in normal conditions most of it would have been tricky to fish ( and we were wearing waders also ).

Arrived on the water at 17.30 looking for that evening rise again. Fished the flatter pool tails & finished with 7 trout to 15 ins with most between 10-12ins all caught on light coloured deer hair sedge pattern. Shared my fishing with a very friendly, playful otter from 21.00, I will be back for the day when there is less water on. Good evenings sport in fantastic surroundings.

Managed to grab a few hours fishing late morning before the river started to rise. Had one fish of 18inches on a klinkhammer and four smaller fish around 8inches. Briefly connected to several fish on a GRHE but failed to land any.

Nothing caught.
6 canoeists.

I arrived late and only fished the lower sections for a couple of hours. The odd fish was rising but I fished nymphs catching 9 fish but all tiddlers.

A re-arranged day after a wash-off earier in the season - with thanks to the Booking Office for this excellent service!

River around 1'3" and a little coloured after overnight rain. 6 trout between 2 anglers, all on the mid section: 4 on downstream numph, one on dry and one on suspended nymph. Our first time on the Usk - we learned a lot and we'll be back for more!

A difficult day with water running high. Very few fish rising and hardly a hatch all day. Various takes missed by all and unable to pinpoint what exactly was the right fly. A beautiful beat that looks like it would fish its head off under the right conditions. Three WBT were caught and returned. A big thank you to the foundation.

River high but falling and reasonably clear. Difficult fishing with fly because of trees etc and the depth of water meant that fishing from the riverbed, along the river wasn't possible except for a few locations. Caught 3 trout 8-16oz on Stonefly nymph, all returned.

An excellent and diverse stretch of river. Arrived at around 09:00, as the rain started to get heavier. Started at the top of the beat, and by the time I reached the middle stretch the water had risen significantly, and turned the colour of coffee. Driving rain and strong wind persisted, making wading a little dodgy. Decided to call it a day around midday having caught nothing. Better luck next time.

Despite good conditions fishing was not easy - a couple of trout caught during the day both on a PT nymph. Both fish just under a pound.
