Feedback & Reports

With the river being low the salmon rod was barely used and instead I spent a couple of hours dry fly fishing. I landed two brown trout, best 2.5lb, and lost a couple more. Quite a few Mayfly coming off.

No sign of fish. Raw and muddy water. Very good beat if condition is good...

Four trout caught on a dry fly, all of them released back to the river. Lots of flies in the river so trout were feeding continuously - they were very selective and spooky though.

First time to ever fish the Usk. booked this total blind,so it was more of a adventure. Parked at car park 2, on the bridge, fish downstream czeph nymphing,a few fast pools and started catching straight away,not big,,say 10/12 inch fish,but great...after 2/3 runs below bridge it starts getting impossible to fish, slow deep pools over bed rock, once you're out of the wood it opens up and gets better, the water was low,,but fish in most of the fast runs,,most small best went 14 inches. Not a lot rising which was disappointed as flies everywhere. Best nymph was a coffee coloured tungsten ptn.
Went as far as big waterfall then walked back to car...to refuel and have a drink.looked at map and wanted to fish upstream left bank above bridge but wasn't great here,,and hard to get in the water,so called it a day.possibly should have gone lower down.not a soul around.
