No fish caught this time but seems like a varied beat with lots of potential. Definitely one on the list for a return visit next season!

I had not intended to fish the main river, only wild stream beats and, as a result, was seriously undergunned for Penpont with a 7' 6" 3wt rod. After the tight confines of the Crai beats, Penpont felt luxuriously spacious and I didn't lose a single fly to the tree gods all afternoon.
There were a few fish rising early on but none even attempted to take my duo offering of an elk hair caddis and a beaded GRHE nymph. I switched over to an olive klinkhamer later but still no luck.
It's certainly a lovely looking beat and relatively easy wading. Thing is, when you mostly fish small rivers (as I do), something the size of the main Usk looks a bit daunting - loads of water and no real idea of how to approach it. I'll probably be back with a guide next time.

River up to a foot dropped back to 6 inches perfect, plan to nymph pocket water for couple hours and dry fly fish in evening. Started well with 3 quick fish, then went into missing take after take, often hooking for a second, then losing fish. Just not sure what happened really tentative takes. Dry prooved no easier with few rises demanding excellent prersentation. A win for the end of season trout. Loved it.

There was some insect activity but very little rising.
All the fish came to weighted nymphs. The result of the previous nights torrential rain arrived at around 2pm bringing the river up about 6 inches in 30 minutes, fascinating to see but pretty well put an end to the fishing. As ever a stunning beat to fish with the early signs of autumn in the leaves. Will look forward to being up here in the spring.
