River below one foot at Llanstephan. Fished with spiders with a gold head flashback hars ear on the point. Had two brownies on the bottom part of the beat, and five brownies and a grayling on the top section. Lost a few and had quite a few lightning pulls and failed to connect. Unlike my last visit none of the brownies were big. Early afternoon really cold gusty wind got up, and quite literally everything stopped. Decided to leave it there at that point. I tend to always use the same set up of spiders across and down and it pretty much catches fish right through to November.

Myself and grandson went fishing today. He is 11 years of age and just started fishing. My grandson caught the two trout fishing worm on the bottom. I didn’t catch anything and for an 11 year old who I’m trying to introduce to fishing it was great.
Better him than me. He hasn’t let me forget it all day.

This is the first time we’ve caught anything or had a bite in the last three visit to Usk Reservoir and until today we were very disappointed. I hope he is still interested and wants to go back.
Many Thanks,
Brian & Harri.

A red letter day. Started fishing at 6.45am. Nothing happening for 3 hours and then bang. By the time I finished at 2.30pm managed to bag 8 barbel and one small chub. Best fish 10 1/2 lb with the reminder between 6lb and 9lb. All taken with pellet presented with a mesh feeder. On this occasion I chose the top end of the fishery. I only got back into fishing this season after decades of being away. I doubt whether I will ever repeat such a day.
