Feedback & Reports

First time at Usk Reservoir. As water quite full, fishing was difficult in most areas due to tree cover. I can see the benefit of a boat permit. No fish showing on surface. No entomology needed as both fish taken deep on Di7 with foam sunrise blobs. Needs another effort when water warmer and fish higher.

Cold day up the Usk all fish caught on worm off bottom.

Hopeless conditions for fly fishing from the bank.The designated Fly Only areas are either inaccessible or unfishable due to current water level and bankside vegetation and Bait fishers seem to dominate the litter strewn North Bank. A very poorly run fishery and not good value for money in my opinion.

An amazing days fishing. We only took 1 rainbow of around 1 and half pounds, but caught 19 between me and my son (he won 10 to 9). We caught 1 on worm, 5 on rubber shad lures and 13 on spinners. All caught on the east side with the biggest around 3lb and all returned in perfect condition. A day that we will remember all of our lives.

Overcast cool day with a fair breeze from West to East over the dam wall. All fish caught on a sinking line with either a green lure or a white bug eyed thing pulled evenly through the water.
