Feedback & Reports

Excellent days fishing on the Usk. 7 Brown Trout caught and released. 3 Dry Fly; 4 Wet Fly.
River conditions ideal after the previous night's rain. Weather overcast but still warm enough to instigate a good hatch in the late afternoon.
Overall a great experience aided by an excellent recommended WUF Guide in Oliver Burch.

Arrival at the river and saw fish rising in the streamy runs. Water clarity was excellent.
5 fish caught on nymphs the remainder on dries, mainly Klinks and Adams and shuttlecock CDC in small sizes.
An excellent days fishing overall.

Monday - the river was up and brown - hardly worth fishing
Tuesday - still coloured and fish all bottom feeding - hardly any rise - 1 x 1 1/4lb trout taken on sunken wet fly.

Some fish moving but difficult to catch. Only caught one wbt on on black and silver nymph.

Two small trout caught and returned. Ambitious as they were on a 12'6" salmon rod on stoats tail. Water low.
I am impressed with the Foundations web setup. It works very well - thank you.

Cold and wet morning but warmer later in the day. Lost one big fish on a sedge and 3 or 4 other smaller trout swirled at the fly without taking. Otherwise nothing on nymphs and Klinks. Little fly life seen. Lovely stretch of water and worth a visit later in the year.

Eleven trout, 10-16 inches, at least the same again on/off long range releases. Down stream wet fly. River coloured in the morning but clean by 1pm. Very little fly life or rising fish. Last fished this water about 30 years ago - the river has changed very little! Discovered the odd boulder mentioned in the beat description but failed to make a detour - had a 'dunk in the drink'- luckily just as I was about to finish for the day. A good Spring day's fishing.

Sunny day but a cool wind. Little fly life due to breeze. All fish caught on grhe and several missed. A good day for this time of year on a lovely beat.
