Feedback & Reports

Amazing weather, very little wind and a great hatch on this very beautiful part of the Usk but the trout were unfortunately not that interested in my flies. Caught one WBT with a klink and dink duo.

Such a beautiful beat, with a good mix of water. Grannom trickling off in the morning and mid afternoon. Hot and very sunny. Deeper pools tinged with algae. Tried many methods and flies but nothing caught.
Still a good day out and a cracking pint of HPA at the Bell after.

two hook rig. Nymph and spider.
Grayling took it on the nymph.
Small - about 200g or 20cm.

A few other quick bites.

The river was very low, the water clear and 15C. No hatch of note. The fish were mostly in the fster streamy water. The sand matrtins are back and checking out their nest tunnels in the mud banks. There were goosanders, a dipper and a heron that shared the beat with me.

A hard day out, river running low and clear with fish being easily spooked. 2 out of season Grayling returned promptly after being taken on a PT nymph. 1 8” trout to a dry in the evening!
