Feedback & Reports

Very little fly life. Very bright windy day. Saw no fish, caught no fish. Beautiful beat which deserves a visit when spring has properly sprung that high up the valley. Was slighly surprised to 'share' the beat with 3 blokes spinning and one chucking a swim feeder in to a deep pool.

WUF note: the owner will be made aware of the other anglers. Please report any suspected poaching activity as soon as possible.

First time on this beautiful beat, and I look forward to returning in May. An unseasonably warm and sunny day, and a decent hatch of LDO's and March Browns in the middle of the day, but sadly, I did not see a single fish rise all day, and after several changes from nymphs to dry to wet, there was not the remotest hint of a fish.

Beautiful gin clear river with some good midday/afternoon hatches. Few fish to be seen although I did spot and spook a massive grayling.

No fish caught. Great booking website though. Very nice river too!

Nil return- again, beautiful beat (and only managed to cover the lower half in one day); strong LDO hatch all afternoon; a very few rising trout, uninterested in my offerings. Must try & return here when it's warmer.

Yesterday on Cefn R.F., with a downstream wind & showers, we struggled. Mark spotted some large trout & tried for them with a fine leader & small nymph, but they wouldn't take. I fished dry & caught a 10" trout. We left at 6p.m., tired & with aching shoulders.

Had a good day in beautiful surroundings. IM one trout around 2 lbs, TH four trout between 1 and 2 lbs. One area of concern was the presence of three other rods, all spinning.

Brief contact with one trout on a Klinkhammer, others rising short to that or a black knat. Nothing brought to the net but a lovely day with the water in excellent condition and Pale Watery Olives, Large Darks and Knats about even though rising fish were scarce. Thanks to the WUF for sorting me out on this beat after being washed off the Wye.

A very enjoyable return to a river and beat that was fished regularly 50 years ago. Unfortunately no fish were caught at this visit. The weather was poor very wet and the river rising. By mid day water was coloured and no chance of taking a fish on fly.

Fished lower section, caught 2 small brownies both about 8".
Used small black spider pattern, both fish returned.
Worked my way back upstream saw a few fish rise so put on a dry fly rose one fish but struck to fast and missed him. What a nice river the usk is felt totaly secluded, not a bit like the ever popular river Dee well worth the 200+ mile round trip.

Well done Wye Usk Foundation!
