We fished ( 3 Anglers) Trelough Pool on the 12th and 13th May. The weather on both mornings was cold with a strong breeze but warmed up with some sunshine in the afternoon. The lake was dour, with little or no fish movement/activity for long periods. However we had some successes, with 5 Eels, approximately 20/25 small/medium sized Roach, some small Perch and 3 Carp, which weighed 7lbs, 11lbs and 14lbs. Two Carp were caught by long distance ledgering and the 11lbs fish was caught float fishing bread flake, at the far bottom end by the reeds in 20 inches of water. So i have no idea what are the best tactics for fishing this pool! The Herefordshire setting is magical and a special place. Although the fishing was hard especially on the first day, we all agreed, that we would like to return.

It's such a shame that we hear from other anglers that the Polish - and YES we have heard this from about 8 different fishermen, tiem and time again - that thye Polish lot arrive on a friday night - set up camps and fish until Sunday evening - 2 of the fishermen have seen these guys using lobster pots !
Walk around and you will see quite a few large camp fires ? - where they have been.

Its no wounder that everytime we go we never seem to catch much
its worth noting I am a serious fisherman ( I always use Sports Fish - Winforton ) I know what fishing all about

Even the Wardens tell me that the forigners turn up after 7pm when they are clocking off !

Still not sure - why I have to pay and they seem to just turn up and empty the lake !

Still been going to Usk since 1985 - so its been a good few years- its a brilliant fishing spot in the countryside.

If anyone reads this - please put in more fish - I hear 250 every 2 weeks is a drop in the ocean - especially when the forigners know when they do put in more

Anyway spent 9am till 5pm and only caught 1 which was less than a pound in weight -
Nice day but I feel the lakes always empty.

if you go - have fun I am sure you will
