Feedback & Reports

Called in on my way home from a week fishing the Usk, was supposed to be a pleasant few hours fishing the Mayfly but only stayed an hour or so, very heavy rain all morning meant the river was colouring up and the banks had become very slippery so packed up and can home.
No fish but noticed a huge amount of very small upwings on the air, didn’t notice any on the river due to the heavy rain.

No salmon showing but fish there. One good tug which did not developed and another on for ten minutes until hook pulled. Dark day so dark fly. Really enjoyed day. Beginning to colour pm.

Heavy rain so only fished early evening. Not much fly life but took one 10” BT on klinkhammer. River coloured, hoping it will clear quickly.

River level up by 4” or so. Neck of Rectory into Rectory Pool fishing much better as a result. However, no fish seen, no takes.

Rain the whole day, not very warm but very wet. River in good condition but not a lot of activity. Been warm for the last few days and then a fair bit cooler, might have had an effect. Caught two WBT on nymph. One short rise in mid afternoon but nothing taken. Enjoyed the day.

Fished dry and lures 16.30 till 21.30 didn't even get a knock, very poor. My mate also blanked in fact very one I meet blanked.

Very very wet start after torrential overnight rain. River very full and too much for me so packed up and came back at 4pm. Still raining and river still up but a variety of flies landing in large numbers on the water but no fish taking them.

A very (very) wet day and a bit cold. But there were a few small hatches and we caught 3 and missed a few more. (1 about 1lb the others a bit smaller) All caught on dry flys rather than nymphs.
