Wind quite gusty at times - and chilly- but we were pleased the find the river itself in excellent condition. Large hatch of LDOs. We each caught a good trout 1 3/4lb and 2lb. Should have caught more perhaps but a really enjoyable day on the river even so ????

One lovely brown trout, perhaps 18 inches or so. Took a hare's ear nymph as soon as it landed.

River high and clear, hard going the rest of the day!

Nil return. Water very low and very clear. Beautiful beat though.

Good little stretch of river, cloudy conditions put a stop to the hatch, still managed a trout of about 3 lbs on the dry fly, careful wading tho as is very slippery and the current can be quite strong around the pools.

What a lovely beat, it was warm and sunny, the river was fast flowing in areas and wading was tricky.

Not a single fish between us, we went through the fly boxes using Nymphs, parachute Adam's, Sedges, Shrimp, Daddy's the lot and not a single hit. We were stalked by a heron who also didnt catch a thing, we didnt see any fish rising despite a few hatches in the afternoon sun. We fished from 09:00 to 16:00 due to a 3.5 hour drive but a bad day on the river is better than a good day in the office.

2nd time to this beat in 5 days, river has dropped from 0.112 on the 12th to 0.082 on the 17th on Millbrook gauge(i think that would be the the nearest) making it so much more easy to get around i still managed to fall in twice!! I think i was over confident .
Fished from 11 till 4 started top of beat again, 2 caught on red spiders others on heavy nymphs in deeper water all but one over 12" good fighting fish also lost 4. I intended the finish at the pool by the bridge but there was a young family swimming there all having good fun i think I'd had my fun for the day plus getting cold so i left a little earlier than intending.
Another great day on a great Usk beat.

Great day today ,water had dropped from 0.112 on 13/9 /24 to 0.092 today 17/9/24 making the river a lot easier to get around. I still fell in twice!! i
Started at top of the beat very little rising so used spiders and nymph on the point .Two were caught on red spiders and rest on a heavy nymph in the tail end of ripples mainly in the deeper water all good fighting fish 12" plus apart from one 8" I intended to finish at the pool by the bridge as there were fishing rising in this pool when i came on 13th when i got there a father a two young lads were there swimming seemed to be having great fun . I'd had my fun for the day and was wet and cold so decided to make my way back to Malvern i finished around 4pm Another memorable day on the Usk. Thank you fishing passport

Beautiful beat good access ,started at top of beat and worked down .Water was quite fast flowing so needed to be careful. Eventually caught one around 8" on a nymph then missed one. Ended up by pool by the bridge with a few fishing rising lost two more to size 20 parachute Adams. Had a great day hopefully return later this week with the water a bit lower for round 2
