Couple of small rises seen, but only in deep pools, otherwise a complete blank for both of us. Lovely part of the river though.

2 rods fishing as usual. There is plenty of fish holding water on this beat! The day started cold with showers but ended up as a lovely evening. A few brook duns, large olives and olive uprights were hatching sporadically and as usual for us with Usk fish they dont come to a dry unless they are actually taking the natural. So fishing was patchy and a case of keeping moving to find the hatch and rising fish. 6 hooked but only 3 brought to hand - 6 and 8 inches plus a 17 inch clonker! Two of the fish lost were at least that big.....

A super days fishing in lovely surroundings.

Low water and a cool downstream wind made for difficult fishing conditions. Long leader contact nymphing in the morning caught me five good fish 18”,17”, 15”, 2 x 14”on size 14 jig 3mm black tungsten bead March brown nymph and peeping caddis. The afternoon was spent stalking large trout taking Brook Dunn’s with only one positive take that I missed.

River clear and seemingly a good height having fallen from yesterday's high, but challenging fishing. Something of a reality check after a good start to the season on other waters! A lot of fly life and some rising fish in the afternoon - I had three takes (two of a dry and one nymph) but none was ever really hooked. Beautiful stretch of the Usk - and the Senni looked promising but even that couldn't save me from a blank!

Water low. Few fish moving.

A cold but lovely day on this very nice stretch of water. Fished from around 11:00 until 16:00 with no fish caught.

3 small fish caught off the top with small dry flies during a short hatch early afternoon at the bottom end. Beautiful part of the river.

Bright and sunny, nothing rising. Lovely day but not for fishing!
