My son had one trout and caught him with a nymph. We had some showers and saw some fish in the afternoon.

13 brown trout caught and returned, 6 on nymphs, 7 on dries
weights between 8 oz and 1.5 lbs. A very large brown was hooked and lost, estimated to be around 4.5 lbs +.

Fairly disastrous afternoon all in all. I slipped getting out of the river and pulled a muscle and my sons wading boots fell to bits. No fish were actually caught but a lovely stretch of the Usk. The weather was showery and a very cold wind blew down the river. Many thanks to the girls in the office for arranging this at the last minute for us and so nice to meet you and to be able to put a face to the voice!!

3 rods caught 24 trout mostly in the 8-10oz range with a few just over the pound mark. Most fish caught on tungsten ptn fished under the klinkhammer with a couple on dries. Weather cold but dry. Rock and roll baby!

It was a chilly morning so I opted to fish from midday to 4pm when things waremd up with temperatures reaching the dizzy heights of 10 degrees! The water was surprisngly lowish and clearish despite the recent heavy rains. I took two nice browns of about pound each to a small weighted GRHE.

Tougher day than last weeks bonanza...cold downstream breeze didn't help. Ten fish between us, all to the goldhead nymph fished below the dry.

No trout caught. No takes. Although another angler reported catching fish.
A cold spring day on this nice stretch of water that has some good pools but with very few flies hatching today.

I saw one rising fish all day and that was as I walked across the bridge leaving the car in the morning. The water was at a good height and falling but coloured particularly in the morning. I don't think the hailstones helped either!Despite fishing hard I didn't move a fish all day.

4 trout caught and released with another few releasing themselves. All between 5" and 9". Saw bigger fish lurking but they werent playing. Water very low in places, need more rain please. Fish caught on dries and nymphs.

Seven seems to be the magic number this week, a catch of 7 fish at Penpont, mostly in the 12 inch range but one fish that was just over 18 inches. Plenty of LDOs around lunch time but no grannom.
