Feedback & Reports

River very high and pretty unfishable with no real pools or features visible. Wading difficult due to flow. Some colour in the water. Caught one very small brown trout at the downstream end of the beat close to bank in a slower section. About 6 inches long. Seemed v healthy. Caught on Shuttlecock Buzzer. Heard a couple of fish leaping.

Penpont - high water, running off, 14 fish between the four of us, biggest BT at about 14", would have been good next day!!
Great time had by all, cant wait for the next time.

Arrived on the water at 16.00 for the evening rise, again it was very good. 3 wbt until 18.30 then it went mad after that until 21.45. Finished with 14 wbt biggest at 16ins, most at 10-12 inches all on a alight tan sedge. Most fantastic evenings sport with most fish coming from abve the bridge. STEPHEN YOU MUST STOP THE RAIN DANCE NOW !

Arrived around 1pm had several small fish around 6 inches. beat started to come alive around 6ish missed several better fish on the dry and several to a PTN. Wish I could of stayed longer as I think there could have been some good sport.

Cold until lunchtime with strong gusty winds and sharp showers, more like April than July. The water was somewhat coloured. I fished from 10am - 3pm and only caught 3/4 small fish 6 inches. Very few rises seen during this time although I did see a few mayfly!

Fished from 4:15. With occasional rising fish decided to fish dry. Caught two WBT to 0.5 lbs on CDC Olive emerger and micro midge patterns. Both fish returned. Failed to bring several others to hand.

The river was very full and fast, Julian was not happy wading, I fell but was ok. I went and fished below the bridge and caught a good brownie 8". It is a lovely spot and I hope to book it again soon.

Nothing caught. River in spate.

2 BT caught of around 25cm. Both on beaded PTN fished duo. Plenty of mayfly about but little in the way of surface feeding observed.

Fished the river Usk again, this time further upstream at Penpont. What a difference. River in excellent condition but a severe absence of fish. Terry did manage to catch 3 small WBT . I did not get even a single take all day. Tried every trick in the book to no avail. Another angler who fishes here a lot and gave me some great advice on how to fish this stretch, many thanks for that, he fared only slightly better by taking 2 very small WBT very early in the day and then blanked right up into the evening when we left at 9pm. Don't know if he had any fish after this. Goodness knows what had happened to the fishing compared to what we were told it was like the week before. ( It's always good the week before or the week after we leave it seems!!! or so we are told) All the weekend rain probably caused the change although the river looked in perfect form. Guess the fish had gone away for the Jubilee celebrations and had not yet returned!!!! Ho Hum.
