Weather lovely. 2 nice fish. Fish rising. Only saw 2 others fishing more could be done to attract more fishermen. Didn't see a bailiff. Can't see why ticket machine can't open. £3 admin. Seen lot campervans staying overnight also remains of fires and someone was swimming. Up past nature reserve access to water a no no overgrown sad. Road to tower bad. The access to other side of water gate locked due to flood. Time now get that road soughted open gate. All this difficult for disabled persons. Sadly unless they sought issues and provide better fishing facitites people will not fish. Such beautiful area.

River low and very clear and fish were spooky. Sad to find this beat quite dilapidated these days. The description on the website should be updated to warn that the walkway is hazardous. That said there are still plenty of fish and was treated to one very visual take of my dry fly. Couldn’t crack what his brethren wanted though!

After such a poor experience on Pilleth yesterday, it didn't seem worth the trouble going. Went to Clun instead which was a lot better for access

1x trout taken caught from popped up worm in the evening.

6 x trout 9-16 inches, mostly on a Parachute Tups. A session on a cooler evening than of late, with light drizzle and Usk trout being characteristically "picky." A couple of good ones in the bag, though.

A lovely looking location but a bit of a struggle to find if going there for the first time. Parking all taken by visitors staying in holiday cottages but luckily I was told that a nearby gateway just before the cottage and never used by the farmer, could be used - otherwise it would have been a struggle to find somewhere to park (maybe WUF could discuss with farmer and mention this alternative parking place in the directions?). Bright and sunny to begin but the river was shaded in a lot of places. Using the duo, searched several promising spots but, despite changing nymphs several times, no fish took. Somewhat in despair I fished a very unlikely spot and was taken by a fish that came off almost immediately. A little later on though a trout took a PTN. Had to leave early so that was it for the day. Wading is not as easy as described as gravel/rocks in certain locations are very slippery (algae?). Went as far as the Power Line shown in the map so maybe fishing would have improved further along.
