Feedback & Reports

Difficult northwest wind. Water clear but levels still well up and flowing strongly. Tough wading in places made for a good work-out! Six brown trout to 13", mostly on nymph. All returned.

Nice day but no fish caught ... no risers all day

12 x trout 6-14 inches, spiders - Waterhen Bloa and Snipe and Purple - and dries - Olive Jingler and Parachute Adams. The Usk is now down to fishing height and colour, but this was really hard work due to a cold start (3 degrees) and a very cold downstream wind through the day. Almost no hatching fly seen although a few olives finally turned up around 3 in the afternoon. For the first time in the day, a few fish rose (not many) and gave us a brief chance with a dry fly

Worked from the bottom beat up to the bridge then halfway on the right bank. Sunny day with clouds forming in the afternoon. Fished a pheasant tail nymph along the left bank. Some restricted access so lots of in and out the water. Nothing doing before lunch. First cast on right side down from bridge and small black spider fished on the surface was grabbed by a 8 oz brownie. Worked down the right bank, much better access this side. Three more fish falling for same fly. Recommend the upper part of the beat from the car park if looking for easier access.

A lovely spring day for trouting, river dropping, sun and cloud, although very few rising fish. 10 WBT caught and returned best circa 1.5 lbs. Effective patterns included Spiders, Adams dry and PTN. Thanks to all at WUF .

Fished Criage llyn As a gest of Shaun Watkins. We both had a great day I had 8 grayling and 4 trout. Shaun had 8 fish in total we both had two each on dries. The rest of the fish came to the French leader. The water was spot on as it was dropping after the rain we had. There march browns & olives coming off through out the day.

4 Trout, 8 Grayling
