Feedback & Reports

Having only fished a river once with a guide (Dinas) this was my first foray on my own. To cut a long story short I caught ….. nothing! ???? I did see a couple of fish rising but not very many at even through there was quite a lot of insect life from about 1pm onwards. I’m sure my inexperience didn’t help.
The beat itself is really nice. Some of the entry points to the river can be quite steep and need to negotiated with some caution. Also I was thankful that I had taken a wading staff as I find this very helpful.
I’m sure a more experienced angler would have had more success but I can quite safely say the 300 mile round trip was worth it and I’ll be back to the Usk

Fished from 1900 till dusk in fine conditionsand water .63m.
No fish contacted fishing wet haresear nymph.
Rise began 8.30 so switched to dry wulffand hooked 3 sizeable trout fishing upstream at upper rock.
All fish put up a great fight but all detached, disappointingly. Fished till 21.30 when rise ended

Plenty of big brownies within eyeshot but couldn't persuade them to take. Quite a few large signal crayfish seen up near Rock Pool

Weather warm and sunny water .72m steady.
Fished margins of woodstream with Gabe Treharne who landed two nice fish on goldhead haresear and whie wulff dry.
Had to leave before sunset but had good four hour fish.
Hardly any fly life or rises which was disappointing for time of year

River high and coloured here. Unable to wade/ fish safely.

Zero but loved every minute

Zero fish but loved every minute will be back soon

No fish caught but an enjoyable day nonetheless

Fished late afternoon until 6.30pm when it got cold and I got a bit wet with the rain . Very little activity. One take on a klinkhammer and a couple of pulls on a mayfly nymph and they was all.
