The water has fallen sharply and is the lowest I've yet seen, so much so, it was possible to wade across the river at the hut. I used the day to survey some of the beat I haven't fished before. It was a very useful exercise, but with so little water in many places, there was a dearth of fish.

I did catch 3 trout and 2 salmon smolts, which I have classed as 'other'. I don't really think they are what are meant as 'salmon'!

It was our first visit to this water and we had a great day. We arrived around 10am and started catching right away on heavy nymphs. As the day warmed up a few olives and the odd march brown appeared. The fish took a while to rise but once they did we had a few trout on jinglers. Biggest trout around a pound and all the out of season grayling were a good size, with one 1.5lb.
All in all a great day, watch out the wading is challenging!

Fish were all small, it would be good to see a few better fish out there

Salmon fishing this morning, I do not think many have come up yet. We need more water yet.

Fished both the fly and spinner with nothing showing an interest. Didn't see a fish but did see the first 3 swallows of the year

A great day on the river; clear water and can't wait to go back in May.

1'6 on the gauge, the river moving the fly at a lovely speed. Perhaps a bit too bright or a bit too early yet for a good chance of a salmon this far up but a wonderful time had. Lots of trout seen leaping into the hatches. Great feeling to be leaving the river at 8.30pm once again... roll on the spring - summer.

Thank you to the Wye & Usk for a great day. A little bright and sunny but the water looked just perfect. Unfortunately no sign of any Salmon. Caught about a dozen trout on anything from Salmon flies and spinners to klinkhammers and nymphs.
