A Northerly wind kept the temperatures to 10C max. but it was a lovely sunny day. The river was very low making wading easier than usual.
I started with gold headed nymphs and took a couple of fish and lost one much bigger. I soon found myself at the large pool at the top of the beat where a few fish were rising to the occasional olive and March Brown and spent some time trying to tempt one but as on previous visits the fish here proved difficult and the trees behind you hinder casting so I headed for the flats as a variety of insects were now coming off.
I love the flats here, especially on a sunny day and soon spotted rising fish, fantastic stuff on a dry fly but today was frustrating as the fish just wouldn't stay on the hook. I lost three, each time checking my hook for sharpness, but in the end changed my fly and then promptly lost another! In the end I managed 4 on dries the last being a beast of a fish with a mouthful of needle sharp teeth which must have been nudging 2lb.

Tough day; one pull

A beautiful warm day. Some sparse hatches of LDOs, a few grannom and a few March Browns. You had to look carefully for them but there were some rises with all the activity confined to the lower half of the beat. We had a few on dries and some on spiders. Our catch included 2 two-pounders. Some of the rising fish were very difficult to tempt. They were definitely taking LDO duns but often refused all artificials. Great day though and it seems that the trout fishing on the Usk has gotten off to a flyer this season.
