Also noted some anglers using Power Bait. Thought it was illegal to use this on this water?? Also evidence of campfires still being lit which is also not allowed.
It seems as if some people think they can do as they like on this water and spoil it for the rest of us. It's a shame that such a great place is being spoilt by the actions of a few. Litter is also an ongoing issue.Personally, I had a good day. Come on Welsh Water, sort this place out.

Tough fishing because of strong SE wind. Arrived at western end reservoir by mid afternoon and spent fruitless 2 hours prospecting with lures and a booby + nymph set up. Around 6 PM a few fish were observed rising to ? midge emergers. Caught 700g rainbow using a DHS emerger pattern. Its stomach was full of frog remains. It would seem that arriving for the evening is the best use of time for this water. Unfortunately, early morning starts are not allowed by Welsh Water.

Did not catch any fish very disappointed I was using worms but the people next to me were using power bait and we're catching a lot. I think someone should be going around checking what bait people are using. This is not the first time this has happened to me. I am not saying this because I didn't catch anything. I am saying it because I have been going fishing up the Usk since I was a kid and now I'm taking my children there and it's not fair as it's spoiling it for everyone

Two 1.5-2lb rainbows, first caught on a Diawl bach, second on a Loch Ordie on the bob. Both caught on the north bank. Will be back again.

What a lovely day to be fishing, sun shone, snow on the Carmarthen Fans, red kites circling above. Normally this means that the fish are absent but today was an exception. 4 rainbows in fine fettle taken on a small mepps type spinner (ok an Aldi special) fished slow and deep. No interest in my worms fished either on the bottom or on the float. in addition to the 4 fish landed I hooked and lost a couple more. A lovely morning and a joy to see that the banks are still relatively litter free.
