Feedback & Reports

Usk booking was a washout so diverted to Abernant, although the water here was slightly more coloured up than usual with sediment and some floating algae. Managed six small trout on black spider pattern.

Almost a wash-off. At first I thought it was perfect and that the water would fall during the day, but as the afternoon went by it didn't and it seemed to get a lot muddier too. Wading hard work, but I kept hoping.

No fish caught

The river was extremely low today. Not seen it this low before. Fishing was quite difficult with the bright conditions. Some of usual pools where fish would usually be didn’t produce today. Slim pickings but managed a single small brownie, returned safely.

Decent day with tough conditions, river running low and clear along with a downstream breeze. 4 Fish in the early morning, biggest around 1.5lbs. Fished the riffle water near the middle of the beat and connected with 3 big trout, unfortunately failed to convert them to the net. Seems to be fishing well but needs a stealthy approach!

River very low and clear. The fish came to various small emerger and spider patterns despite only a few fish showing. Mostly small.

Excellent days fishing with all fish caught on the lower half of the beat. All fish caught on spiders with a gold head hares ear on the point. Wind got up in the afternoon and slowed things down considerably. Did try the top end which is normally very good but stones and river bed covered in algae and slime and treacherous for wading. Bottom half of the beat much better. Probably lost as many as I caught with clear water and fish coming short.

Quite cold and intermittent wind. Occasional hatch but few trout rising.
