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

2 Trout, 1 Grayling

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

Another enjoyable and successful session on a W&U stretch which again was a first for me here. Parking and access is straightforward and a decent amount of swims available though how some would be in the wet could be a different story. A warm day with the river low started about 1.30 and fished until 7.30ish. Tried a few swims and ended up with 7 chub to 4lb+ and 3 barbel to 6lb+ taken on a variety of baits inc corn, pellets and meat at one point the chub taking baits on the drop . The usual flotilla of canoeists during the day but caused min disturbance. Would return here especially with a bit of water on

Weather cloudy, sunny and quite humid. River very low. Fishing slow until afternoon. Large number of canoeists, most of whom were quite polite and only a couple went through my swim. Access path down at the bottom getting very eroded and there is a risk of sliding into river. This risk will become significant when it is wet. If erosion continues path will be gone in a couple of years. Would not recommend this access if angler unsteady on feet.

River low and brown with algae bloom. Sun in my face from 11am . Hopeless and river in a very sad state. To be fair , the catchment area has not had the rain that other parts of the country have had . It desperately needs rain big time.
