River Usk salmon and flies.

Well the sewin ( sea trout) season so far has been very slow, a few fish off the Abercothi beat on the river Towy i have been told of one of 15lb, plus sir Gareth Edwards having one of 11lb. and a few more to 8lb,i have had one of 6lb from the bathing pool beat, thats my only sewin so far this season. but i have only had two trips out for them, the fishing on the river Usk for salmon has be good for some. but i was out two days ago and had a bad day hooking two fish one of about 11lb and one about 25lb, lost the two fish what a blow. but below are some photos of other fish landed.
