Feedback & Reports

River steady at 0.98m with a nice tint. Beat looked very fishy as usual. Owner Barry has done considerable bank work and it shows. Access wading on Rock ,Upper Rock and Cables good even at this height of water. The bank by the hut has been well tended also allowing plenty of scope for fly fishing even with the river above optimal level. Fish wouldn’t play though, but one did show late in the afternoon allowing visiting rod John to cover it with intent and anticipation but to no avail..
A lovely day though.Just one more left (weather permitting!)

Nice beat with some good fly water. Had one good take from a salmon that did not stick. Water was a bit high but clear enough to fly fish. An enjoyable day in a pleasant location

See report submitted yesterday re wash off.

The river was coloured & up about a metre but had been higher in the night. I fished through all the pools fly & spinner, but no sign at all of any Salmon. It was nice to be out though & access is definitely improved from the last time I visited several years ago.

Had a fabulous day, first time fishing the Usk, river could do with some more water, didn’t see any, didn’t catch any, but it felt fishy ???????? will be back.

Saw nothing, touched nothing, it wasn't the greatest day for the catching fish part of fishing as it was a lovely early autumn bright day with low clear water, but it still beat staying in the office where I would have been looking at spreadsheets all afternoon.

Plenty coming to the surface downstream of Chainbridge road bridge, didn't see any upstream.

River low'ish at 500mm. I heard one big splosh which had to be a salmon, but otherwise no sightings, other than kingfishers and herons. Thanks for the improvements to the bankside path opposite the caravan park, and for new natural platform at the Oak pool.

Water .52m and clear so opted for trout. I landed a beauty in woodstream at 6pm taken on dry deer hair sedge.
Fish weighed just short of 2lb. Very little activity other than this but salmon showed under the wires and at the rock.
John missed one trout in similar place on woodstream again on sedge. No further fish by nightfall after a disappointing rise at dusk.
