Feedback & Reports

Rain all day made for tough fishing although river in very good condition. All methods used and eventually paid off with 2 nice Usk fish taken French Nymphing.

Nothing doing during the day, but then a good evening rise from about 8.45 to 9.15, which I think was to spinners. Usk Jingler effective, with 4 fish up to 16 inches, with many of the feeding fish in thin, riffly water.

Very bright and warm day. River good height but strangely little fly.

Hot and bright, a lovely spot and delightful people. Rising fish were hard to find but Mssr Verdier lost a good one over 50cm and landed several more.

Warmth at last ! And Penpont looking lovely in the sunshine. Plenty of surface activity when we arrived but it soon petered out despite the fact that there was a smorgasbord of flies hat hatching for the fish to dine on.

We had 4 to hand, several more avoided the hook . One of the 4 was lassoed rather than hooked … best was a lovely 18 inch fish.

Bird life was wonderful too … along with the usual river suspects we saw yellow hammer, tree creeper and nuthatch

Few hours with a wet fly. Nothing caught. Lovely spot and good access.

A high lightly coloured river that rose at first then slowly fell. Rain and wind. Late in the afternoon a smattering of LBD and Olives tempted a few trout to rise but continuous high water has not given this spring the best of starts.

Good numbers of small fish rising and willing to take the fly from mid afternoon. All were 8 to 12 inches.
