An enjoyable, if rather wet and windy afternoon on this lovely beat. Most fish caught on a dry fly. I finished around 6pm, happy with what I had caught in tricky conditions.

Great day’s fishing despite challenging conditions. Bright sunshine for most of the day and the river was finally showing its bones. Most fish caught on dry fly though lots of chopping and changing required given the smorgasbord of insects. Several fish lost including a couple of lunkers.

This rod did not show up so zero catch

After a bad start at Upper Tower first thing in the morning I moved to this beat and the Usk gave me one of those magical red letter days, 30+ fish.

Lovely streatch, a good mix of pools, slow sections with deeper channels. Lots of fish rising in the later evening. Olives proved successful. River conditions good, still plenty of water.

Not quite a blank, but nearly. It was one of those days when the fish wouldn't stay on, although I had quite a few takes on a downstream nymph, including one which broke the cast. Water lovely; but big change in the weather which was wet by midday, and I was wet by 1pm. A few flies around, and even fewer rises.

Five trout up to 11” caught on spiders. A few rising fish showed themselves in the evening.
