I’m not on it this weekend! Angered a couple of fish but nothing connected.

A slow start in the morning at the top of the beat but things changed dramatically in the afternoon once I had crossed the river at the bend and fished down.
There was a small but steady hatch of small olives most of the afternoon which the trout responded to,sub-surface emergers, spiders and nymphs all taking fish. Sport was non stop for a couple of hours in cool and drizzley conditions.
Quite a special autumn day’s fishing, not because of the size of fish to hand, only 2 or 3 making 12” but rather because of the sheer number of takers over a prolonged period, and there were no parr in the total.
All quickly returned as usual with many more misses and on-offs.

Started fishing at 17:30. Fished until dark.

Large and varied hatch starting around 18:45 had the fish moving. Selective on dry flies but more willing on emergers/light nymphs.

All fish taken were between 15-30cm.

First time using the Fishing Passport and fishing on the Usk and loved every minute. 4 wild brownies (8ins) all on nymph all returned. Very few rises, so unfortunately no dry fly action. River clear, clean and with a good mix of pools and riffles. Warm day with a little breeze. Stayed in Llanerch Vineyard outside Cardiff so an hours drive but wonderful views of the Becons. Easy to use the Passport booking system, great directions and will book again.
