Feedback & Reports

River was looking good. 0.46 on the Usk guage and rising slowly but still pretty clear. Had a really good tug in the salmon pool and moved a coloured fish lower down under the trees towards the corner pool. Nice bit of water for few hours fishing.

Fishing was hard due to amout of weed. Fished from dam to top end of lake. Only managed one offer and landed the fish about 3/4 pound.

The track down to the river is diabolical,it should be sorted out properly ,, seeing the amount of anglers fishing there there should be plenty of money to do it right.
Swims should be maintained through the season.

Another good day at home fishery. Decided to walk down this time but getting back up is a bit gruelling. Fished from 7 am till 4pm for 9 barbel and 2 chubb, including a pb of 9lb 11oz (first cast) fish came on all different baits, 8mm pellet, 14mm pellet, boilie, double boilie they really weren't fussed.

We fished below the bridge starting around 11.00. The best “ peg “ was the glide into the tail just before the end of the beat. After Storm Agnes it was a relatively calm , dry day with the river slightly coloured and steady.
A washed up rod and reel were found which looked as though they had been in the river for some time. If the owner contacts me to identify them I will arrange their return.
Accommodation at the very homely Cottage of Content.
