Salmon fishing on the river Usk in April came and went without many salmon being caught. The trout fishing has also mostly been slow but is now improving with the warmer weather.
A couple of salmon were caught on our beats in April and another couple lost, one of these a heavy fish.
The water levels have continued to steadily drop into May and rain is now needed to bring more salmon into the river and to safely get any remaining smolts into the sea.
