I'm a beginner and this was my first time on this beat. There was a good push of water through the deeper pools. I fished a floating short spey line with an intermediate polyleader. Water temp was 18 degrees. A brisk downstream wind meant I was having to double spey off my left shoulder which was horrible! ( But it was good practice)
I fished a 10 then a 12 Silver Stoat. No joy!
I saw a few trout rising but no sign of any Salmon.

Managed to get down for a couple of hours after work and had one WBT around 10in on a small nymph. A warm evening and river running crystal clear. A few fish rising, but no takes on the dry flies. Stunning stretch of the USK, very tranquil

Given the terrible forecast, decided to head home a day early.
So no fishing today! ????

Weather forecasr was very discouraging.
Decided to head home early

Water clear , weather cool and overcast with occassional sunny interlude. Fished 11am - 3pm. Only one or two rises seen. No significant hatch. A few sedge about. The one rising fish that was cast to, came again for a Grey Wulff but failed to connect!
Lovely to be on the Usk again but how difficult it can be! Back later in the week for more self induced punishment!

We had a fantastic 6 hrs fishing on this beat, some really great pools holding plenty of trout. I managed 9 and lost several others, my uncle also had several takes. Best flies of the day were pink tag nymph and small sedge dry.
