Feedback & Reports

River low and clear and a bright sunlit evening. Very easy to disturb pools when wading. However, got rises to small dry flies in the streamy water. Missed most of these, hooked one 6" brownie.

Lovely evening. Quiet early on but plenty of rises to adams dry fly as dusk approached.

The weather was warm and overcast, the water was low, both myself and JC lost a barbel early in the session. We moved to Boys Rock and fished groundbait and pellet, but only small bites, then I changed to meatballs on the hook and straight away the rod pulled around and a 10lbs 2ozs barbel came to the net. All together we had 5 barbel between 7lbs 4ozs and 10lbs 2ozs, 2 chub around 3.5lbs, so a good days fishing.

5 Barbel, 2 Chub

A hard days fishing with almost every pattern tried but only result was 2 brown (returned) at about half pound and 6 very small brownies under 4 inches. Little to no hatch or rises. Water level about summer average and very clear.

Great to be back again.....splendid beat, low water, almost clear, a few fish seen, none landed and still a pleasure to be in such a beautiful place....thank you :-)

Great day at Sugwas. Fish were a little spooky, however everyone managed to have a good haul.

All fish taken on pellet feeder,found lots of places to access the water, river was very low and clear seen lots of salmon jumping a lovely peaceful place to spend the day. Followed the access route as shown on the map which involved walking down the edge of a field planted with crops trying not to damage them, surely the public foot path by the church would be a better route. Stayed at Tresseck campsite in Hoarwithy with the New Harp next door great for a pint to celebrate your catch. All in all a great day thank you Wye & Usk for giving us the chance to fish in such fantastic locations

Fished the first five swims from the pumping station on rotation. Beautiful venue with good access, just didn't fish as well as it looks. 2 suicidal minnows was all I had to show for 11 hours.
If fishing the inspection cover swim about a third out-be prepared to lose a lot of feeders, I lost three in the first hour before I moved.

The final day of our 5 day trip, again the river was low and clear and as on several occasions this week proved very peggy with most of the barbel coming from one swim opposite the wier gardens. Barbel to 7lb 10oz and chub to 5lb 2oz on pellets and boilies. One disappointing aspect was that again as on several occasions this week we had to clear rubbish and discarded line left by previous anglers. If people can't be bothered taking their rubbish home with them they would be better off finding a new sport as they're not wanted in ours. Once again many thanks to all at wuf for their efficient service and the valuable work they do, we'll be back!
WUF Note: We would like to support strongly the sentiments expressed about litter and discarded tackle in this catch return. Anglers must take it home with them. It is unsightly and a threat to wildlife and farm animals. There is a risk of fisheries being withdrawn from day tickets as a result.
