River low and a horrible algae brown. Fished 3 swims to learn the stretch. caught chub in all of them on trotted pellets and meat. Best around 4.5lb
Didnt stay for the evening - so maybe the barbel would have fed later......

30 Chub

2 Trout

Weather cloudy and dry. River height low and water clear. Very little fish rising. All fish caught on heavy nymphs.
Wading more difficult than expected. Entrance needs a traffic mirror

Total waste of money and a misrable days fishing,, i am a disabled angler me and my partner got to the usk about 9am we couldent fish in the disabled area because of the ongoing work there,,so we went over the other side where they launch the boats, an hour after we set up we were invaded by 20 canoists who totaly disturbed the water and the fish,, 11am they came back in... 2pm they all went back in and disturbed the water again,,,Then to top it off at 3pm we had a load of wind surfers and paddle boats turn up,,, Not a fish was caught a total waste of £34 ,,, ill think twice before i go up the usk again yours e.j.lewis
