Feedback & Reports

Arrived on the beat with friend, after a heavy downpour for most of the night, river was rising and colour was not good. Opted for a fast sink tip with a heavy tube. halfway down the pool a good take. 10lb Salmon hen fish in pristine condition.
Nice day with four trout also taking the tube fly.. Bumped into another two gentleman whom we had lunch with and talked fishy tales.
Nice to see the cooker has been replaced in the hut thank you, finished around 4pm and went back to the hut for a nice brew. Great day..

1 Salmon, 4 Trout

River was well up after recent rain up but running clear. Tough going at first but then 14.00 a big hatch brought everything to life. Loads of takes / hook ups and 5 to the net. Best fish was well over 2lb and the fight it gave was crazy in the fast flow. By 16.00, following a few downpours, the river turned chocolate brown. It was time to head home. Overall very enjoyable first ever trip to the Usk!

Water levels are very high so no need too cast out too far. Only planned on fishing the morning and had 3 on a 4 fish ticket by 09:30 so switched from fishing the bottom over to fly otherwise I’d have been home way to early. Nice to see some fish coming out of there as I had quite a few blank days last season

3 times nothing now not even a bite

Our expectations were low due to heavy overnight rain and whilst driving to the beat. When we arrived the water was high but the clarity was fine. We started with beaded nymphs and had half a dozen lovely Usk brownies.
After lunch we there’s was a good hatch with many rising fish. We changed to dries and had a fabulous few hours catching quality brownies off the top. An unexpected but great day’s fishing on this lovely beat.

First time on this beat. No salmon touched or seen. Water clearing and at the perfect height 1'6".
Some lovely pools to fish. The pools would really benefit from some pruning. It wouldn't take long. Its annoying to be wading , speycasting and keep whacking rod tip. The other bank looks more cared for.

Did not fish. Even more water coming down, full of silt, quite spectacular and unfishable
