Feedback & Reports

Dry, sunny, warm, and calm. Low clear water levels. Difficult terrain on upper beat – to say the least. Through-out the day there were two distinct olive hatches. Upper part of beat observed no rising fish - through-out the day. Change tactics and patterns with no success.

A beautiful day for a walk in the country but not for flyfishing. I wouldn’t normally wet a line in these conditions but this is meant to be a fishing holiday, so on went the Factor 30. Miraculously, a few fish were seen rising in the shadier spots and three nice trout (14”,14”13”) were landed on comparadun and Klinkhamer. Shame that a faulty gearbox put paid to my friend’s outing.

Saw a few trout rising but didnt manage to connect to any.

A great day on the Upper Usk. A limited large dark olive hatch made surface activity sporadic. Still a nice 2lb trout taken on a small dry olive imitation, another bigger fish lost and quite a few other fish rising on and off. A close encounter with an otter and a day on this beautiful part of the Usk in spring left two anglers as happy as sand boys. Thank you WUF.

cold night and cold morning on the river, no hatch, no rising fish, struggled to catch one trout 1/2lb

Didn't fish in the end.

One trout 1lb 3/4 taken on an emerger during a short hatch around 1ish. Saw very few other fish for the rest of the day.

The river was looking in nice condition, but a biting east wind meant there was very little activity. A few small upwings came off early afternoon and that was that. Bumped one fish on a spider. An interesting beat.

total blank today , so much fly on the water and other than a lost fish of about 2lb nothing. I was not impressed with this beat for the price and come summer would be very hard to reach the water safely. a lovely day to be out though.
