Feedback & Reports

Evening: a fair number of olive spinners around, but only dimpling rises (to what?), until nearly 10pm when the fish appeared to lose their caution and I got 5 in quick succession on Jingler and Elk-hair Caddis, including three good fish of 16 inches (1.75 lbs) each

The water level was very low and a chilly wind was blowing upstream. I caught one trout on a dry fly and one on a wet fly. Hardly no activities between 1.30 pm and 5 pm.

Great days fishing .20 fish caught mostly on nymphs with a few on dry flys.The road by gate has large pot holes which makes it difficult to get up the hill.

Two of us enjoyed a day euronumphing with our lightweight 10ft rods. A welcome change to fish a nice, open, accessible beat after previous battles with overgrown wild streams. My buddy, who a much more competent river fisherman, netted 6 but I managed to beat my previous personal best for a river trout with a fine fish of about 1lb. Not quite a match for the 1.5 - 2lb monster my friend caught but still something of a result.

Plenty of fish rising from 8/9pm onwards. Managed one small brownie and missed several others. Fish being quite picky.

We didn't fish today as the water was very low and decided to return home.

We both fished with Dry Fly and Emergers only. There were lots of very tricky rising fish but we got a lot more rises and fish on than the 8 we brought to hand. We had an excellent evening rise. Best fish 16''. Best flies- H/E Klink and Mayfly Klink.

All caught on a small PTN or a soft hackle dry. Lovely looking fish with the best 3 going well over a pound. Conditions? Well the river level was low to say the least and the sun was out nearly all day. This was my first time on the Usk and it was useful to find that the beat was really accessible and I liked the fact that there were a parking options, particularly as I was breaking in my new wading boots. A most enjoyable afternoon and evening.
