Feedback & Reports

River high and flowing very strong, brisk downstream wind, cold and overcast (contrary to weather forecast). Very little fly life, bar a couple of olives. Lots of fairly recent tree surgery and several trees down and in the river. Nymphed with no success.

Good fishing but fish could be a bit bigger

3 Trout

We used to go to Usk Reservoir since 1992 every year till 2008
and we used to catch trout - everytime 4

Today fishing all day till 4pm - ZERO caught

Talking to 12 other guys - all ZERO fish - MOST IF NOT ALL TELL US THE Lithuanian foreigners go to fish there AFTER 7pm and fish all night
Now this makes a lot of sense - as on our walks around the USK Resivoiur to I personnaly saw 5 to 8 camp fires that had been used long the edge heading uptowards to end of the reservoir
Now tell me that NO CAMP FIRES are allowed ! - when you can clearly see someone has been having fires - fire pits and big ones at that.
The fisherman today confirmed these take place at night when no wardons are around - and the Lithuanian foreigners fish from 7pm to morning - fact

NO WOUNDER WHY WE NEVER CAUGHT ANYTHING TODAY - and talking to all the other fsihermen aslo - and neither did they

I feel its a waste of time fishing there these days - as it clearly appears NO FISH are in the USK reservoir
A Waste of money spent today fishing

Suggest you get some guys to walk around and have a look at the number of burnt out fire pits !!!!

SHOCKING is my thoughts from what I saw today & Heard from other fishermen there today

No one wiill take any notice on reading this I am sure

Four trout to dry fly one to nymph. All returned. Very exposed in the high winds and only a very short hatch of March Browns.

Enjoyable day

Blustery day but a decent March brown hatch started at around 2pm which brought some fish to the surface. 4 fish on dries, all around the 2lb mark and in great condition. A few grannom about too.
