River in perfect condition - 8" on the Brecon gauge. Considered cancelling my trip as the weather in Cardiff was appalling and the forecast for the Beacons was little better. Could not see the Storey Arms, let alone Pen y Fan, on the drive up. The Usk valley seemed to be protected from the weather; an occasional squall but otherwise OK. A few olives and the occasional mayfly coming off all day with some fish rising on both the flats and in Llanobery Pool. A number of takes on a dry olive CDC but only one fish to the net.

What a glorious little section of the Usk! Started at midday and spent 7 hours fishing for some stunning browns! 3 were close to 2lbs! Majority taken on small drys today with just two on the nymph. Fish were up and down in the water due to the wind, cloud cover and few showers but when they came up for a hatch it was bites galore! I missed more than i hooked but had s great day regardless. Will 100% be back for another day out!

Lovely conditons and decent hatches of Mayfly, sedge and small light coloured upwinged insects. Rising fish in the top and bottom streamy sections morning and evening evening. Missed a couple of fish at the bottom section early on and another in the top section early evening. Returned to the bottom section at last knocking. Missed another riser and finally hooked and landed a nice fish of about a 1lb. Hallelujah! Returned the fish. Caught on a barbless Jingler.
