Feedback & Reports

Hot day with little cover made for a challenging afternoon. One brave trout took to a daddy long legs and safely returned for next time. Plenty seen through water, but very little rises.

Dry balmy overcast evening. Plenty of surface action until wind got up late evening. Most fish caught on spent fly patterns. Largest circa 2 lb.

Overcast but dry.
My first time here. Not sure what I think about this beat. Not obvious where beat starts and finishes - I didn't see any signage (apologies if I just didn't see it). Access is difficult due to high bank, so unable to always specifically access the bits you want to fish. Upper part of beat unfishable as too deep to wade, and no way of getting to river from bank.
1 trout caught. Another I played for 15 minutes before my dropper fly came off - I could have cried....

Warm clear evening. 2 Small fish caught on spent fly imitations (spinners) but vast majority of rising fish completely rejecting our offerings. Usk trout can certainly be a challenge !!

2 Trout

Fished evening rise only. Fish focussed on emergers and very tricky to tempt with an artificial. 3 caught on warm balmy evening.

3 Trout

Warm day with sunny intervals. 6 BT caught by variety of methods - emergers, sedge & nymph.

Warm overcast day. Most fish caught on emergers. Largest approx 2.5lb. Wonderful bonus seeing otter putting our meagre efforts to shame !

Easy access. Fairly challenging wading and a few trout seen rising. Nothing interested in the fly.

Very enjoyable days fishing catching trout of 19" and 17" both on nymphs and lost a fish which I did not see but felt bigger than the 2 I landed. Any hatches were very short lived though I did manage 3 rises to a dry fly, landing one which I won't count as it was hooked in the tail.

Nothing caught today. Water low and was therefore able to fish most of the beat. Other comments about access could well apply if the water was high. Went through the water on dry, nymph and K and D but nothing seen and no hatch. Weather was cold for time of year. One to try later in the summer.
