Feedback & Reports

For the number of anglers on this section there was a limited number of swims that are safe to fish. This is made worse when it has been raining or is raining as the banks become very slippery. A little work by the fishery management would make it much easier for the anglers to have a more comfortable experience when fishing this section and it could open up more swim options
Fishing Passport Note: the banks of both the Wye and Usk are protected as a Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs). There are, therefore, strict limits as to what can be done with regards bank clearance, which has to be done sensitively and in compliance with the law. Inevitably there will be many inaccessible sections, especially in the peak bank growth months of July and August. We ask all anglers to please bear this in mind when booking Fishing Passport beats and not to assume fishery managers are not doing their job if some areas are overgrown.

Good days fishing on the beach at the end of the beat. All fish caught on pellets in the fast water. Got very busy down there being a Saturday with canoes and paddle boards plus swimmers etc. Thanks very much

Enjoyable but fish-less day on the lake. Saw approximately half a dozen trout rise all day. My wife lost a nice fish in the river mouth and I had a few takes but nothing stuck. Water temperature was warm but conditions were perfect. Some really large lake olives hatching off. Lack of fish didn't spoil what was a very enjoyable day in beautiful scenery.

2 Grayling caught and returned - 1 (about 1 lb) early in the day and 2 (bigger fish - nearer 2 lbs) late in the day. Both on small nymphs - 1 olive and 1 pheasant tail.
Conditions were very good. Water level was ok. Nice warm day with light cloud. Lovely stretch of water.
