Feedback & Reports

My previous trip to this beat the river was high and coloured, this time it was just right.

The day started with some light rain, with rest of the day being cloudy, with little wind.

On arrival as it was raining I put on a nymph but four fish rising in quick succession, saw me change to the dry and after a couple of missed takes I had a nice plump fish in the net.

There were sporadic rises throughout the day, so I fished clink and dink. A couple more fish came to dry but I missed them, mainly because I just wasn't expecting it. The other two, including a lovely 15 inch fish, were taken on GHRE variant.

Quite a strange day. 3 salmon lost between 08.30 and 10.30, 3 landed between 12.15 and 12.45. Schools of shad everywhere.
2 cock fish from Rock Pool at 10 and 13 caught by me. 15lb from Gravel catch to Grant Holmes.

The river just died in the afternoon, very little rising going on aside from a several shad in Recory Pot/The Run. Be back soon.

A lovely beat with plenty of varied fishing. Spend all day trying to tempt the rising trout with (all sorts of) dries, and exploring with (all sorts of) nymphs. Finally at 6pm landed a beautiful 1.5 pounder with a dry fly in surprisingly shallow water. It made my day! First trout on the Usk, and a beauty. Safely returned.

Took four early on nymphs then odd sporadic rises showed fish had changed depth so changed to spiders and managed another three and in afternoon more regular rises prompted change to dries and took another three after some trial and error on small cdc shuttlecock emergers. Fantastic days fishing.
