Feedback & Reports

Fished afternoon and evening. Nothing moving until dusk when a few spashy rises. Had one brief contact but apart from that absolutely nothing. Good to see a lot of fry.

Arrived to full sunshine and the Usk in fine shape, perfect height and clear water. Nothing rising all day so reverted to nymphing. 6 wbt caught and released, 8"-10". This is a really open beat with very little cover so the bright blue sky and blazing sun was not ideal. Prolific Sedge hatch at around 6.30pm which surprisingly didn't switch the fish on.
Caught and kept the big Rainbow I lost in exactly the same lie on a previous trip. It ended up on our Landlady's plate that evening (Ty Gwyn, Crickhowell, hugely recommended).
Saw a salmon leaping in the big pool below the bridge, always a cheering sight. For anglers seeking easy access, relatively simple wading and a good variety of fishing you could do worse than wet your fly at Dinas & Abercynrig.

Great day on Middle Hill. Fishing very slow, 5 Barbel in region of 5 to 6 pounds. Great stretch, will be back soon. Thanks for the advise Adam.

Fishing poor, could do with a map marking good spots as one day fishing is no time to learn where to fish.

Very overcast skies made it quite dark under the trees, Klinkhamers with fluorescent hackle posts made it easier to fish. 4 trout between 4-5'' and 1 at 10''.

None caught,river in good condition. Very warm and bright daymay have sent the fish moody. Two cormorants sighted which maybe didnt help.

Enjoyable day, parking slightly tricky due tight village situation and the access road impassable (to me) being churned up by logging lorries. No salmon caught but instead two trout about the same size as the no. 3 Mepps that I was using, both returned. Only mild annoyance was two canoeists who looked pretty sheepish and cleared off as soon as they saw me I'm pleased to say.

9 Barbel, 4 chub all caught an pellets. Biggest barbel 9lb 8ozs, biggest chub 4lb 4ozs.

Decent fish lost in upper Mill 8pm' ish.

Beautiful warm evening, Patchy rise, we had 3 fish, 1/2lb to 1 1/4lbs around 7.45 pm. River remains surprisingly coloured.
