Feedback & Reports

Fished Aberbwtran as I consider it best as a low water beat (I find that many of the pools are unreachable in high water). A few heavy showers and thunderstorms. I was eventually rewarded with a nice 13" brown trout in the top set of pools.

Water low amd clear weather warm and overcast. A reasonable amount of rises throughout the afternoon. Fished various drys during the day and had plenty of takes but failed to connect. Had 2 on Mayfly patterns the largest a good size.

In contrast to beats I’ve fished on the Wye, the Upper Usk teems with insect life. Different farming practices in the two valleys?
Two trout hooked in faster flows on perdigon, both played and lost.
A nod to the farmer / WUF for creating safer access to the river upstream of quarry pool with a new stile.
Thanks also to GCG Angling club member (they have access to the opposite bank) for tips on fishing the Cwmwysg beat.

A stiff breeze upstream, bright sun and low water level didn’t help so just fished the pools. Small march brown did the trick, but it hard work - thats fishing.

Another brilliant evening rise, with fish rising everywhere from 7.30 to 9.30. Jingler (14) seemed to work best, both in back eddies and stronger streams. Three fish around 16 inches, one of 19 inches (3lbs) and a 'clonker' of 21 inches (3.5lbs)
