Feedback & Reports

Water slightly coloured but not overly. Overhead there was a fair amount of cloud cover but alas nil fish were rising. During the day a downstream breeze increased but not enough so as to effect the fishing.

Fished nymph's upstream all morning and managed just one 6 inch fish, returned immediately.

Continued with nymph's until 2pm then switched to K & D. No success with this method either so packed up around 1/2 3 and enjoyed a lovely ice cream from the dairy in Brecon.

Last minute decision to try this stretch late evening, excellent choice. Pleasant evening with broken cloud and sunshine, slight breezy, plenty of fly life. Fished on the dry all evening, with a olive spent mayfly taking 5 brownies, ranging from 0.5lb to 1.25lb.
Large brownie around 3lb taunted me for some time, but resisted the temptation to switch to wet / nymph. Heavy rain arrived at 9.30pm so called it a night, can definitely recommend this stretch!

Very good day. Arrived at 1pm and fished through to evening. Consistent sport throughout, even during a heavy squall, during which fish were rising everywhere (looked liked a BWO hatch was underway). 13 fish to the net, most around 8-10 inches. 1 fish netted was around the 2lb mark. All fish fought hard and were safely returned.

Our third visit to this beat but windy cold conditions with frequent showers made it the most challenging. Klink & Dink, Czech Nymph and dry only all tried with some success but dry very tricky in strong headwind. very limited surface activity but fish of 1 lb taken and returned from bottom pool and 2lb plus fish taken from long rocky pool below access point, both on iron blue klinkhammers. As the access is down a very steep bank from the lane it is well worth taking a rope to attach to rear of car and aid access and egress from the river.

Challenging day, bright sunshine for the most part. Much fly life but very few rises. Total of 4 brownies up to 1 1/2 lbs only between us.

Three WBT 9inch best on GH nymphs, mid-day rather disappointing, evening much more productive with fish rising to dries quite often. Shame I had leave early, something to come back to...
Beautiful sunny day, low and clear water, light upstream wind, salmon jumping...thank you WUF. Will be back sooner rather than later.

Around 12 fish released. Mostly in the 8 to 12 inch bracket. Cracking day!

Heavy rain and very high coloured water made fishing difficult, caught one brownie of about 1/2 a pound. Very good service from the Foundation.

Heavy overnight rain meant the Usk had risen almost 1 foot and was very coloured. Add to that the downstream gale and it was hard going. Stuck with it – found the bottom stretches had more shelter and less colour - and managed 4 small trout, best 8 inches.
Thanks all, will see if I can negotiate another weekend when conditions are more promising.

Enjoyed the beat immensely landing 5 trout between ½ and ¾ lb.
