Feedback & Reports

Cold downstream wind and a lack of fly life but the better fish (best at 16.5") and two others lost all took size 16 Olive Klinkhammers fished on the edge of turbulent water at the heads of pools. One taken on a downstream olive nymph. Warmer weather and a bigger hatch of fly and no doubt this beat really comes alive.

Great to be back on Bugueilin, weather OK, bit windy blowing across from right to left made fishing difficult along left bank. Easier casting further up where I had first few fish. Made way round lake, casting much better having knocked the rust off. Still missed and lost as many as caught. Last fish in boathouse bay, started with Mallard and claret then switched to Bilbio caught on both. Very nice way to start season.

we fished spiders down, nymphs and dry flies up and apart from a couple of rises the fish were never in much danger of being caught.

Booked online to fish on Usk reservoir, saves using coin machine on site though £2.50 booking fee, is it really necessary. Plenty of parking close to water and good access for fishing. Landed 2 rainbows in the morning and 2 early afternoon 3 on ledgered worm and one on a spinner.Enjoyed and the day will go back again before the coarse season starts and resume contest with the Wye barbel.
