Two 1.5-2lb rainbows, first caught on a Diawl bach, second on a Loch Ordie on the bob. Both caught on the north bank. Will be back again.

What a lovely day to be fishing, sun shone, snow on the Carmarthen Fans, red kites circling above. Normally this means that the fish are absent but today was an exception. 4 rainbows in fine fettle taken on a small mepps type spinner (ok an Aldi special) fished slow and deep. No interest in my worms fished either on the bottom or on the float. in addition to the 4 fish landed I hooked and lost a couple more. A lovely morning and a joy to see that the banks are still relatively litter free.

Fished the Usk Reservoir for the first time in appalling conditions this Easter. I was the only one mad enough to stay for 5 hours in torrential rain and wind. However, the good news is that I managed to catch one fish on worm, a good specimen Rainbow Trout weighing 2lb, as fly fishing was out of the question. A note for some of my fellow anglers, clear up your rubbish as I collected fishing line and weights from one of the banks.

First time at Usk Reservoir. Lovely day out. Cool and overcast in the morning. 6 rainbow caught all on Mepps and Bluefox spinners. 1 was too small. Most were around 40 cm long. Good fight in most of them. Sun came out at 2 pm after which the fishing died out. We had a lovely show of Red Kites flying around all day. Will definitely be back.
