Feedback & Reports

Humid and overcast with no wind. Water level close to ‘summer normal’. Martins left for Africa, mushrooms in the field, blackberries in the hedges. Autumn on the way! No fly hatches all day and only a couple of rising fish seen. Focused on lightly beaded PTN in the faster riffles . One nice WBT.

Given the weather conditions, arrived at the river at 17:00 hrs. I had tried to book an evening ticket but was told it was not available on this beat - though it is on the neighbouring Dina beat. River on its bones. I understand salmon fishing has been halted until water conditions improve. Nothing moving until a good hatch of olives began around 7pm and lasted for an hour. Trout did not latch onto them until the hatch was almost over. Concentrated on the (slightly) faster flowing shallows at the top of the beat. Every cast made was to a rising fish - though I think most were small WBT. Fish easily spooked and very wary but did tease one nice fish out on an olive fished in the surface film.

Fishing Passport Note : It is the fishery owners choice whether evening tickets are on option.

One Brown Trout caught, weight was 1 1/4 lb on an olive coloured wet fly at the head of Bottom Pool at about 7.15pm.

River on its bones. Humid warm and bright until late afternoon when thunder clouds threatened but only a brief shower resulted. Arrived at 14:00 hrs. An olive hatch attracted the martins but not the trout. Over by 14:30. PTN in the deeper water teased out a couple of typical Usk WBT but the flow was so slow it was like fishing Llyn Onn. Another hatch followed at around 17:30 but unfortunately my schedule did not permit a longer stay. I think it is now time to look at evening bookings. The stile at the top of the beat has now been repaired!
