2 small trout cuaght - 1 x 1.5 pound on dry and smaller one of 3/4 pound on a surface fished wet. Conditions on 1 of the days was good but high river levels later in the week made fishing difficult/impossible.

Fished this on the 7th and 9th of May 2013 - Blanked but enjoyed. It rained on the 9th. Although no fish caught, I still enjoyed fishing these beautiful scenic waters.

Two rods fished with all four fish falling to nymphs despite a few sporadic moments of surface activity when the sun came out. Really cold strong wind blowing downstream didn't help presentation but still couldn't ruin the day on such a lovely beat. Will be back when warmer weather finally arrives.

I love this beat. The upper stretch is classic salmon water, with deep glacial trenches and fast water over rocks. Shame there were no salmon! There were three trout rising, of which I caught one of 1lb in weight. The weather forecast was it's usual inaccurate self!

First trip out in my 50th season of fishing. A typical Usk starter! On the river about 11 with medium olives hatching. Rose 6 fish in first hour - hooked 2 - landed none. They have been practicing over winter! Never mind, James had 3 to hand by this time. I turned it around with two fish in the afternoon whilst LDOs hatched which left us with 2 x 15", 2 x 12" and 1 x 10" wbt between us, all on para olive dun, and all returned. All quiet again on the river by 4pm.
We thought we had a March Brown but it lacked the obligatory leg spots - what does that make it I wonder?

Best fish one and three quarter pounds - rest much smaller. Most on dry Parachute Adams, one on nymph. A lot of sun but still quite cold. Only the odd fish rising so had to work quite hard for them including some challenging wading! Beautiful beat with a pair of sandpipers chasing each other around and a swan nest on an island.

No salmon seen.

First trip of the season on a new beat.From noon onwards there was a steady hatch of LDO's and a few march browns with the odd fish showing themselves.Due to a strong and blustry down stream wind and sporadic heavy rainstorms a dry fly could not be presented correctly.Two beautiful 13" fish did fall to a bead headed PTN making the day every thing it should be, a couple of hard won wild fish from a beautiful stretch of the Usk.Both fish were returned.

A beautiful autumnal day and perfect conditions for salmon, with high water and plenty of hiding places. Only problem was there wasn't a fish of any kind in evidence. It was totally dead. I caught a poacher too, a young fellow with his girlfriend. Hardly seems to matter though as there were no fish.
