Blanked. My excuse is that it was an extremely hot day and I left before the evening rise. Had one rise to cast to in a very difficult position. Fluffed it completely.

Good day on the beat, glad to be back fishing after the lockdown and what a great beat to start on.

River clear and lower than I thought it might have been given the rain yesterday. Fish to 15" in likely places on nymphs. There was a good afternoon hatch of sedge and I actually hooked two caddis larvae during the course of the day, so there must have been a lot of them down there... not much rising but I didn't stay until evening.

Lovely beat but your map for parking 3/4 is out of date. The road downstream to the parking can't be accessed from Sennybridge as there is an army base 'in the way'. Parking 3/4 needs to be accessed by crossing the Usk from the A40 in advance of Stennybridge

Great to be back by the Usk again!
Although I don't think of July as being the best month, the conditions were good. Started at 2.30pm, and nothing at all until about 6pm. Then caught a very fat 2lb trout on an upstream nymph in fast water, missed a second, and finally caught a third of about 1lb around 8pm.
Great afternoon!

Lovey long beat with lots of pools, glides, riffles and waterfalls. The only thing it is missing is fish! Lots of fly life and very clear water. Nothing seen apart from parr. Such a shame but I think this river has had too much catch and kill and otter/mink activity to be worth paying for again.

An evening ticket after a very hot day. 10pm before fish would take, although they were rising sporadically earlier.

A great day on this lovely beat. Sporadic hatches of upwings all day and trout rising, but picky. Smaller trout, all of around 12 inches, caught during the day. Bigger trout in the semi dark, up to 17 inches. Water low and clear (0.25 at Trallong) and by the evening the water temp seemed to have risen. Need a thermometer next time.
