Feedback & Reports

A cold miserable day though a sign of spring was the first house martins of the year. Just before rain stopped play made brief contact with a heavy fish on nymphs fished deep. Otherwise no sign of fish or fly.

It was quite early in the season, fishing was hard, river running heavy. We were using pheasant tail and hairs ear bead nymphs down deep but to no avail. It was though a beautiful spot and we had a great day and hey this is fishing and why we do it. Thanks for your hard work WUF for making this type of water available to us.
Kind regards

One of those early season days when a cold night and a river full of cold rain water kept the fish in their winter hideaways. A few small olives and a very brief flurry of March Browns wasn't enough to get them moving. Nothing caught this time, but time on the water is always a better classroom than reading articles in the fishing mags that make it sound so easy.

A lovely walk in the Usk valley on a crisp autumnal day. B caught and returned a 2lb+ brown Trout first cast, downhill from there on until we reached the old farm where we caught 3 more Trout and I made brief contact with a bright looking 5-6lb fish, whether it was a Salmon or Sewin I was not sure. An enjoyable day with Dippers, Kingfishers and a single Red Breasted Merganser for company.

Cold morning session that produced three lovely fish at 14" and two at 18" in the faster deeper water. All taken on a cased cassis imitation fished deep.
