Feedback & Reports

Really hard day due to hot weather with no overcast river. Needs a lot of water, never seen it so low. Met Terry Ward and what a gentleman he is. Nice to see someone there on the beat for a change with great advise who cares. Thanks WUF, Courtfield next!

Conditions not perfect but still had a great two days, had a few barbel and a lot of chub, fishing pellet. Many thanks to Terry who runs the beat.

5 Barbel, 15 Chub

Did an evening session here, 7-10pm and caught a couple as the light dropped. River was low & clear. Pellet caught as usual. A Polish couple turned up and were fishing from about 8pm. Told them to leave but when will the Wye & Usk Foundation start to clearly signpost their venues as private fishing. They claimed to "no understand it is private fishing" but having read previous reports am sure they know very well but as no comeback, turn up again!

Very warm and dry conditions.

Fished bottom of beat 3.30pm - 7.30pm. Only 1 fish, 5lb barbel on pellet.

A perfect hour of late evening fishing after a long day in the car. A fish would have been icing on the cake, but no matter. There were a few small trout rising, but very spooky in such low water.

Guided by OB from Gloucestershire. Water very low and a long hot afternoon searching the beat with absolutely nothing rising. Occasional late mayfly and a few evening sedge, but nothing happening. In the last hour before dark, a nice wild trout of 15 inches plus a couple of small chub on dry fly.

River low, bright conditions, hardly any ripple on the water so not the best of conditions. Had fish from several swims, Colin the baliff very helpful as always. Barbel to 6lbs+ chub to 5lbs+. Many thanks to Wye and Usk Foundation, you do a great job.

Low flow and warm water didn't help the fishing, but a beautiful stretch of the Usk.
