Feedback & Reports

Weather conditions not good rained from 9am until 9pm water very coloured. Caught 3 carp between 12- 14lb numerous roach and rudd. All fish in beautiful condition, all caught on sweetcorn. Will return hopefully we will have better weather conditions and catch a few on surface baits.

Over night rain got the Honddu raging and colouring the Usk, had a look at the beat, a new one to me, called the office and was "washed off". Looking forward to returning. Thankyou to all at WUF.

River very coloured due to very heavy rain all previous day.
Weather foul with heavy rain and wind. Used a nymph not expecting any result but caught 3 trout max 9in. Only stayed for 2 hours. Would like to revisit in better conditions.

A wet day - drifts of rain from light to heavy downpour blowing across the reservoir. Nothing moving during the heavy spells, early afternoon saw a better couple of hours and fish jumping. Managed 1 Rainbow of 1lb 12oz, 2 Browns around 1lb, 2 small browns returned, all on 'midge buzzer' types from the shallow north end of the reservoir.

4 caught on spinner fishing in the margins.

Caught one small trout (6") and returned it using brown hare dry fly. Two more hooked but not landed using small blue nymph. Wet weather, fast flowing water, slightly cloudy. Highly recommend wading staff.

Fresh 15lb fish from beat 4 this morning. River clearing and a good height, overcast, perfect conditions. Plenty of shad about now and a few good salmon showing throughout the beats.

1 Salmon

Hot and bright most of the day with some cloudy spells.
Moderate rises and this was when most fish were caught on dries on the main wide section below the foot bridge, although one angler had several pulls on nymphs and caught one on the fast flowing are in the woods but the bridge.

9 Trout

A trickle of mayfly and occasional rise from a salmon parr of which we caught three and that was it. River looked good when we arrived but an hour later the heavens opened and finished the fishing for the day. There are two trees opposite each other that have collapsed together half way up the bottom stretch making it very difficult to get past.
From the all weather parking I found that it was easier to go through the gate on the left just over the bridge and then under the bridge arch.
