Feedback & Reports

Difficult downstream breeze made presentation of dries and nymphs difficult. Plenty of different fly hatching including a few mayflies. Lots of missed takes without connecting. Also fish shedding hook quickly. I fished from mid day to 8:30pm. However, between 3 and 7 was dead with no movement. Not a lot rising but fish would come up to dry but were suspicious. All fish to hand were smallish the best perhaps 10oz. Lost one much better fish on a nymph. Still on the learning curve!

Wet fly - small trout - returned to water - clear waters, good flow. Cold NW wind.

2 Trout

Strong chill wind, and consequently sparse show of fly. In the pool tails, we had some response from a dry Adams, otherwise fish were taken by Czech nymph method. Best fish was 1.25lbs, others were between one pound and a half pound. All fish released. A larger fish was lost.

7 Trout

9 trout to 1 1/2 lb , with a number lost. Most activity before lunch, largely to gold head ptn but a couple on dry. Slowed down pm. No significant hatch of fly but left before the evening. A good day's fishing.

I caught one brown trout about eight inches long. The Usk was quite big and coloured but fishable in places.

Cold and windy. Very few fish rising. Otter seen in the river. 7 trout caught on wet flies. 2 with dry flies. 2 fish of about 1lb the rest small. All fish returned.

Dreadful downstream wind made fishing hard.

Great fishing - starting at 2 pm and olives hatching constantly until 8 pm. All fish caught on dries including Dogsbody, Rupert Bear,Tup's and Griffiths gnat. Very good quality fish up to 2lbs. A memorable day.

Did not see any Salmon.

What a beautiful spot! We caught several small brownies, but failed to land them, they craftily spitting out the not properly taken flies! Lots of flies hatching but the fish not feeding...
Watched a MINK potter along the North bank ... There was a heron fishing off the island and a lot of mallard. Fish beginning to rise a bit as we had to leave for home!(6.30 PM)
A thoroughly enjoyable day in the most beautiful part of the world - thank you Wye and Usk Foundation for making this possible through the Passport system.
