Feedback & Reports

River slightly coloured and was rising slightly during the day. Lots of olives on the water most of the day, did not see any fish rise for them. I did not catch anything tried all sorts of nymph methods, it was my first time on this river. I would like to come back later in the year.
First class service from W & U foundation, first time I have used them.

Lovely weather to be out but some overnight rain saw the river rising through the day. It started off clear but had risen considerably and coloured up by about 4pm. There was a small hatch of LDOs late morning which never really got going, but the most tremendous March Brown hatch which lasted the best part of an hour. The river was littered with MB duns but barely a fish rose to them. Very frustrating.The height of the river made it difficult to find somewhere to fish properly. I blanked but Andreas managed 2 trout, one to an LDO emerger and another to a spider pattern. One of the toughest days I can remember on the Usk, but as always, a pleasure to be out. 4 canoes spotted - at least they were polite. This is my second consecutive trip on a WUF beat where canoes / rafts have paddled through the beat and you can tell from their gear that these are serious paddlers and not some lads having a bit of jaunt. What's to be done?

Fished the morning in the rain in spring pool. Had one strong pull and had to change the fly a black and orange tube fly 1" but no fish hooked. Then moved on to Dolmeudwy pool but unfortunately the river was up and coloured. Very nice beat will try again later in the year.

Beautiful stretch of river, but high and rising water levels and a cold wind made fishing a bit of a chore. No fish seen and no takes. Shame as fished here last June and had lots of very decent fish on dry and wet flies.

River was very high and fast and the water was very coloured. Fishing conditions were very difficult. Took one Trout in the early afternoon.

Nothing caught.

No sign of fish activity at all and no real fly life evident, still a bit too early to fish this beat yet, water temperature must be too low.

PIN code did not work on gate had to park car on hill; cloudy, cold and windy day a few hatches seen and a number of small fish rising - 1 WBT caught on nymph.

Cold and windy day, pin code did not work on gate lock, a few fish rising and a number of hatches later in the day. No fish caught must try harder :-)
