Feedback & Reports

The parking area wasn't obvious and wasn't secure against sheep getting in so parked in a layby on the road. Started at the lower part of the beat, the bottom three pools had fish occasionally rising and all the ones that I saw seemed about 2 pounds plus. I caught 1 trout in the first pool, at least 2 1/2 lbs. The rest of the beat had no evidence of any fish. Returned to the bottom of the beat to the odd fish rising, but failed to catch any more.
Thanks Sam

Water had very quickly recovered clarity and level after previous day's chocolate spate.Some trout activity but Salar not showing. Yellow Mays not yet evident. Perfect accommodation on the river bank at Hilary and Dennis Humphries' Yew Tree Cottage. Many thanks to Alison and Seth for valuable help and advice over rearrangements.

A couple of hours recce to check ease of access (limited mobility) but while river is only 5 min from car park, the first field is mostly unfishable, 'though there are a couple of bays under the trees, with some big trout lurking under the trailing willow branches. Sadly wasn't able to cope with walking beyond the first fence, and as there is no access at Talybont road bridge, 90% 0f the beat was just not available.

A lovely day to fish warm-ish with some humidity and occasional cloud. Mayfly were present and i hooked a few trout - although failed to land most.... Many grayling were rising, but could get a take. No sign of salmon but a wonderful beat to patrol.
Between the first parking space and second, there are a lot of holes in the track. I deliberately took a car with higher ground clearance. I suggest you do the same! Perhaps the owner could repair some of them..
(WUF comment: unlikely to be grayling on the Usk)

Caught 3 lovely trout on homemade beetles, weather good, air display given by local Red Kite team, couldn't really have had a better day.
