Feedback & Reports

10 Perch. Very little surface activity and no joy with spinner. Worm held 12" off the bottom. Trout beaten to it every time by the Perch!

Water high and very coloured. Although it was over most of the walkway, the lower stretch was fully accessible. We saw no salmon, but two 1lb trout took the shrimp fly.
Nice location, have already booked a return trip.

Forced off the Usk by the water conditions, we headed to the reservoir. A very difficult days fishing because of the strong gusting NE wind blowing straight into our faces.

Not much to report on the Salmon front but good sport with WBT on falling and clearing water. Thank you.

No fish caught; fly, medium size nimph and small streamer. Some large splashes, difficult 45mins walk down to the river, extremely helpful farmer Mr Richards for the way back!
Quite a few canoe's, not always on the other side of the river. Lovely scenery.

All fish between 6 and 12 ozs one just over a pound. Very difficult walking got stuck for a minute and lost a wellie, please be careful. Small black flies did the trick.

This was my second visit here after struggling a bit first time to find any fish but thought Id give it another try . Water was slightly coloured, no fish rising that I could see, so did the only thing I could and tried some nymphs. Fished probably 3/4 mile downstream over the next 6 hours and was about to give up when one took me by surprise and escaped (about 8") and hooked and almost landed another about 10" before he slipped the hook. An enjoyable day and also saw a kingfisher. Lots of fry in the shallows.

Once again, a privilege to fish this beat. The river at an almost perfect level. One fish seen just below the bridge mid current. A lovely day to end up my holiday fishing on the Usk. What a beautiful river and Chainbridge is just such a fishy beat!

4.30pm 10lb fresh fish to Roger Plowden from Grassy Bank on a rising river on a Cascade Tube.
