Feedback & Reports

After fishing the Usk yesterday I knew that really it wasn't worth it until late in the evening so I only started fishing at about eight o'clock. Just about then there was quite a good mixed hatch with some yellow mays coming off amonst others. Still tricky fishing and spooky fish, very easy to put a riser down with a lack of stealth of a bad cast. In the end I chose to go slow and target rising fish missing a few and landing about half a dozen before the light was gone and the hatches pretty much over. A lovely section with a number of good riffles perfect for dry fly work at this water level which is very low at present.
Again thanks for the opportunity to fish these amazing beats and lovely rivers..

River low and clear. Started fishing around 8am and netted a barbel around 5lb on my 2nd cast. A busy day then ensued with lots of knocks with the odd strikable bite.

Finished the day with 3 barbel, the biggest felt 10lb plus but I'd left my scales at home, and 17 chub, the biggest around 4lb. Still going strong at 3.30pm when i had to head home. All fish taken on luncheon meat on feeder in the wooded section.

A thoroughly enjoyable day.

Fished 3 hours in the morning in the woods area and caught an eel on pellet. Then 3 hours in the evening in the meadow with no result :/ Bright sunny conditions all day, with normal summer river levels. Tons of flies in the meadow section in the evening.
