Fished from 4pm until dusk. River very low and going tough. Waders are pretty essential right now.

Did not fish this beat, very over grown and very limited access to any swims. Certainly none that my quite able 75 year old Dad was comfortable to fish. Very disappointing that WUF state that access to the river is easy once you have walked the 300 yards to the river - this is not correct. Long walk to get over the hill to the wooded area which a best had 2 just about fishable swims.
Very disappointing and I would like a refund please WUF

Tough evening fishing. The wind made things tricky. The only sustained rise of fish was just before dark for about 10 minutes, probably to BWO spinners.

This is the second time in my fishing life (I'm 81!) I have not caught one trout whilst fishing at Usk reservoir and, the first time in my life I have caught 10 Perch, admittedly they were beautiful little fish and in excellent condition,all returned safely which I was pleased about , but at the end of the day I wanted a trout for my supper and didn't get one! Still a magical day in a beautiful location especially after I saw the most beautiful young deer crossing the road at 8.30, it was like seeing a Unicorn!

Tough day's fishing with very low water but still enjoyable

Very confused by your misleading information. Although the map of the reservoir shows the bank fishing locations, most of the bank near to the dam was extremely difficult to fish owing to :-
a) Too much weed
b) Waders would be needed to fish beyond the weed which was not made clear on the information sheet
c) Access to the fishing spots either side of the dam involved a jump down to the bank , which would have been impossible for an older man.
Also wish to add there was a dead rat next to the waters edge on the far side of the dam which made a very unpleasant smell as well as attracting flies. Maybe more inspections around the water's edge is needed.
I will not be returning.
