Feedback & Reports

Oxford Ice Fishers visit the Usk on opening day - 1 Brown trout caught by J Rossiter of Oxford. River rising after constant light rain turning to heavy around 2pm. The fishing hut came in very handy in the rain as did the Chainbridge Inn opposite.
Special thanks to the beat owner who rang to offer advice on the beat and river, a nice touch, thank you.

Not fished this visit.

Bad day to be out there with extreme weather, got there late to check it out and only casted a few times because the water was totally brown and blown out.... oh well

River very low and clear. Banks muddy and slippery. Not a touch all day which is a first for me on this lovely fishery. Good to be out there though.

Appalling weather conditions and a very slippery bank limited the fishable swims. Packed up early afternoon.

Did not fish.

Good start to day hooked a salmon within 45 mins, departed company after a short time, rest of day nothing despite fishing hard in adverse conditions, thanks to ghillie Mick Sutton for your help and advice

Lovely beat, still quite cold, maybe too cold for the whiskers

4 Chub

All I can say is what a day! Never expected the fishing to be this good for the time of year. 1st time at the beat and certainly won’t be the last. Barbel to 11.3lb and the chub to 3.5lb, all fell to pellet.
