On a good forecast for the day it started out grey and very overcast with heavy drizzle. The to find the only good disabled area closed off for some called maintenance, leaving no good disabled access anywhere. Struggled to get to the waters edge , which took 30 minutes. Wind straight into my face so couldn't put a brolly up. Fishing was crap and that's being polite.
I asked when the disabled area would be clear but they didn't know ( not their fault ).
I did manage a bite 2 hours into the day and the fish looked more like an eel very thin and long probably an old stock fish, poor swine he had to go back he/she needed food. And that was the only bite of the day for me. The chap and his son to my left had 2 fish but to my right there was 2 full families of eastern European Fishing and they had a tent each and more rods than a tackle shop, when they saw the 2 bailiffs rods reeled in faster then lighting put in the tents then when the bailiffs left out came the rods.. Needless to say I won't fish there for a good while unless the disabled access is fishable.

This is the second time in my fishing life (I'm 81!) I have not caught one trout whilst fishing at Usk reservoir and, the first time in my life I have caught 10 Perch, admittedly they were beautiful little fish and in excellent condition,all returned safely which I was pleased about , but at the end of the day I wanted a trout for my supper and didn't get one! Still a magical day in a beautiful location especially after I saw the most beautiful young deer crossing the road at 8.30, it was like seeing a Unicorn!
