Hi all,
As suggested! - I've started this Thread, Named : "The River Usk"

It is located within the > Uk & Europe River Up-Dates.

Hopefully this section will include : Photos, Reports, Discussions and questions on anything to do with the River Usk and the people who use it for recreational purposes!

I hope this thread gains momentum; and becomes a place on the forum where we can find information, and pass comments on the River Usk!

Here are a few photos of the river and some of it's wild inhabitants!

Like waiting for a bus. No offence Sewinbasher, but I chose the one with pretty pictures. I have just booked up a day on Thursday, on one of the WUF beats above Crickhowell. Hopefully the rain does not spoil it.

Cheers,

wjd

A couple more photos!

I'm on the Usk tomorrow; below Crickhowell, hope the rain hols off?

Thanks for the support!!

As I said on the "Who wants an Usk thread" thread I won't be offended if mine dies, it was here first but didn't have the piccies. I just wish you'd managed capital letters.

Just to show no hard feelings here's a piccie of a proper Usk brown.

That's what we need; photos of people with a decent sized fish!!


Nice one SB!!

I'll just say that isn't me. It's my mate Kim Tribe with a fish of around 4lbs.
