No fish seen or caught, a poor days fishing.

Started near the dam area mid afternoon, made a nice change to use a spinner for a little while but no offers. Decided to grab the fly rod and vest and walk to the south end of the lake... covered a lot of water and did not see a fish. I spoke to a few anglers bait fishing near the ticket machine that appeared to be regulars and they said they had never seen it so bad, there were around another seven anglers in view there and none of them appeared to be catching either. Still a very enjoyable first visit to the venue, I notice that some trout venues often fish poorly this time of the year so I'll return a little later in the season to see how it goes.

Another blank day, fishing seems to be very poor last few weeks having spoken to other anglers

Wet fly from south bank but no luck.

Spinning on the southern bank, eastern end of the Usk reservoir from around 1700 to 1800. Windy and overcast. No fish caught, or seen! Other anglers at the reservoir at the same time also not catching anything.

One rainbow on float with a worm, another trout on the bottom with a worm and two perch using the same method.

First time at this cracking venue, it was very overcast and fairly windy when I parked up at about eleven. Has been many years since I've done spinning, so was a nice change to hang up the dry fly fishing outfit for this visit. Caught either side of the dam. Quite savage takes on mepps spinners and some bespoke spinners made for me which worked a treat and were catching fairly deep down and retrieved fairly slowly. Four nicely sized rainbow trout kept and released two cracking perch on debarbed spinners, which makes releasing a doddle. Thoroughly enjoyed the visit to Usk Reservoir and shall give it another go very shortly. A great sporting four hours !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
