River low. Could not get action on pellets over several hours. Switched to meat and things improved greatly.
Chub all of a good standard but barbel refused to show.
That aside. A very good fishery and very peaceful.
Thank you.

River very low in places and limited bank access. would benefit from another 1 or 2 pegs to make it easier to get access to water. Agree with other comments to travel light as walk from car park is steep and could be slippery in wet weather. Barbel and chub showing in late afternoon/early evening. Double figure barbel and 2 pound chub. Both on pellet.

Yes, the wading is pretty tricky - though with a staff at the current low water level not too bad.

I fished just below the fishing hut - turning the car here is tricky. Then underneath the suspension bridge and the planks below. Then towards the bottom of this beat after driving along the old railway track. Again turning the car around is very tricky.

Rose a couple of splashy efforts - I suspect salmon parr. Saw a couple of good "trouty`" rises near the fishing hut.

Although no fish caught I saw two kingfishers, one below the suspension bridge and one at the fishing hut.

Better access this time around. Good fishing and a nice trout on a hairs war

No fish today, My first time on the Usk , it won’t be my last.The weather was warm and wet with threatening thunderstorms.

Didn’t fish today, desperate times. We have a week every September on the Wye and we love every second of it catch or not but none of us could face going back to the river in its current state today

Started around 14:30, thankfully the extraction pump wasn’t in use. Although it was raining the river was low and slow so we kept to the deeper water just upstream from the parking area.

Safety note; the growth next to the concrete walkway was so overgrown that only half the width of the path was useable. This meant walking was dangerously close to the 6ft drop into the river.

Other than that, a great afternoon.
