Feedback & Reports

Great day, arrived at the river around midday to find a steady hatch of olives and LDOs with trout rising. This continued throughout the afternoon with some added yellow may duns. Fishing not easy with the river low and clear and bright sunshine all day, but fish were willing to take an olive Emerger pattern. 10 in total with 5 missed/lost along the way. The highlight being a clonker of 21 inches, taken in skinny water which raised a few sketchy moments on the 3wt and 6x tippet. Epic evening rise in the last hour of daylight but struggled to tempt them amongst all the activity.

Nice day, river still low and clear but recent rain must have helped. March browns and olives trickling off from 12-4 with trout rising sporadically throughout the day. 6 trout to 1.5lb mostly on olive emerger patterns.

No fish caught.plenty of fish rising but very spooky in the low clear water

The river was low and gin clear but there were rises in a few pool especially towards the end of the beat. We fished mainly dries to fish rising sporadically with no takers. And then my mate caught his first Usk brown and his first fish of the season - not bad! I had a nice walk in the beautiful Welsh countryside.

Very difficult. Bright sun, clear water, few rises. But stunning with lots of wildlife.

Bright sunshine and a light wind, river low and very clear.

Beautiful day at Ashford house, but difficult fishing for me.

There were some nice hatches at times but very few fish rising. When I did present a fly it wasn't taken despite trying lots of different flies.

The two fish I did get were taken on a PTN variant.

Two good fish to near 3lb, and two smaller.

All taken on PTN in the faster water. Excellent hatch at 1230 for about 40 mins, not interested in my offerings though.
