Feedback & Reports

My first time on the river Usk the river was a good level but only the occasional rise, the trout was not interested in any fly I put over the top of them I think a more experienced fly fishermen would have caught a few. I still enyoyed the day even though I blanked.

A downstream wind and bright sunshine made fishing difficult. Caught two on a nymph fished below a dry fly. Nothing rising.

The only action was from about 12.30 to 2.30, when I caught two modest fish, and lost two, on spiders and nymph. (A warning to spider anglers, which I should have heeded myself, is that a fish on one of the droppers, if not netted, can wriggle strongly and cause another of the droppers to become embedded in one's finger. Fortunately it came out after a bit of work...) Just a few yellow mays(?) hatching, little rising except once to my Klinkhamer, where I struck too soon after programming myself to strike fast for the nymph trailing beneath on the duo. Bad fishing, as I told myself.

Very tough day of fishing, with a stiff NW wind for much of the day, bright sunshine and a yo-yoing barometer over the last couple of days. Hatches were virtually non-existent. We scratched around for the odd fish, ending with three in the next, the best just going 2lb.

Long cold and wet day but thoroughly enjoyable. No fish rising so used a wet fly. Caught on a Montana nymph (12). Lost two.

No fish. Lovely beat. Wet and unseasonably cold.

3 fish to 13 inches, tungsten nymph. Lost a big one which went like a rocket in the heavy flow. NE wind, cool, no hatch today.
