Feedback & Reports

Lovely stretch of river but very overgrown and access very difficult in place and steep. Fished the top half of the river good evening rise but the fish were easily spooked as the water is still very low, managed to hook 1 fighting fit trout and missed a few on a grey duster.

So took my son out fishing the Usk for the first time, so we effectively shared a rod, had a fabulous few hours. Had to dodge the holiday makers later in the morning / day, but really no problem with this. Caught on nymph fished french style in pocket water. Great picture with my son having caught an 18inch Usk Gold. If you want a secluded beat avoid this on sunny school holiday days and especially bank holidays!

I am reminded what an impressive place the Llangoed Pool is. It is in part the way the shelf simply ends and drops into inky blackness, which I understand is 7m deep or more, even in low water!
I often take my elderly mother along so she can sit and admire the surroundings. She went for a walk for 20 minutes, during which I caught 4 trout, and nothing for the rest of the day. She missed all the action!

Weather was very hot & clear skies. Fished from 14.30 until 17.30, but without any success. Never actually saw any fish either.
However very nice beat, will try again when weather is more conducive. A pleasant afternoon.

Fished the river above Merthyr Tydfil. Started at Lines Bridge just beneath Cyfarthfa Castle. River still had an inch or two in the system with a lovely colour. Lots of small sedges and bwo spinners on the water with plenty of trout feeding. Managed to catch two dozen or more lovely wbt ranging from 1/2lb up to 2lb.
