Default Who would like a river Usk forum?
Hi all,
Hope I don't upset anyone, including admin! - I was just thinking (I know, a dangerous pass-time) it would be of interest to those of us, who are predominantly river and stream fly fishers, especially those who regularly fish the "River Usk" to have a section on this forum specifically for the "River Usk"

I'm sure this would be of interest to many of the anglers who use this forum; and especially to those who visit the River Usk on a regular basis, also those who fish there occasionally, and possibly to those who intend, or would like to fish the river!

Is there anyone on this forum who feels as I do; that would like to have a section called : The River Usk Forum????

What are your views on this?

Thanks for your replies!

Mostyn

Have never knowingly fished it Mostyn, but from what I have seen so far on your recent pictures, I, as a
Lancastrian, living in Cumbria, would enjoy seeing more of it, and maybe one day fish it.

Hi Steven,
If ever you decide to venture down to Wales, let me know, I'm sure I could arrange a day or two, on a couple of stretches of the Usk!

You would be most welcome!

You are very kind Mostyn, and may I reciprocate, by offering you a day on the Eden, when next up this way.

I fish the Usk maybe 10-12 times per season so I'm up for the forum. If any river deserves it's own forum, it has to be the Usk!

My sentiments exactly!

It's a special place; and a wonderful river!

Deserves a talking point, all of it's own!

Maybe the Admin Guys on here will get one started?


Lets hope Eh,

I think Mostyn you just start it don't you. ?
Just call it the USK report or whatever, and people will hopefully contribute.
I assume that's what you do anyway, I think Richard W started the Derbyshire one off and that's massive now.
I could be wrong, usually am. Doh.

Why don't you adopt this one?
