A great second day on the Usk. 20 plus trout on the dry jingler (15 foot tapered leader) fished in the streamy water. Hatch wasn’t as prolific as previous day but fish rose steadily from 11.30 to 3.30. Quite a few missed too!

Good day
All fish taken during (sporadic) hatches. Nothing doing the rest of the time …

Nothing caught today, was a little cold for it, saw 6 or 7 trout but no luck

Another lovely day but the water temperature was again very cold. Some nice hatches of LDOs here and there and the only rises we saw were far off. Neither of us covered a rising fish all day, which must be a first. We'll be back when the river temperature is a bit higher. But nonetheless, lovely to be back on the water again.

A beautiful day on which to start the 2025 season. Blue sky, no wind, clear water. Fishing was quite tough. No hatches of any sort. Lost one fish, another better fish to the net. Fished klink and dink, both fish hooked were on a Duracell nymph.

Wash out. High and coloured, complete blow out unfortunately.
Previous day it had fished well with lively action on small streamers and many takes.

It turns out that obsessively looking at the river level gauges will not make a flood disappear. Was a chocolate torrent and I couldn't fish. Hoping for a wash off please.
