Some fish rising to LDO and March Browns, most caught on nymphs in the riffles though

Bright day warming up after a cool spell. March brown hatch below the road bridge. Olives/LDOs in smaller numbers, fish not switched on to them. Best fish 14"

Weather would be best described as austere, with a cold east wind. Thankfully the river had fined down from the previous day's torrent. A few march browns and LDOs hatching in the quieter water, cheered the soul and reminded me that spring is on its way, after all. Twelve brown trout to 15" all safely returned: most, but not all, on nymph.

Lovely day with clear blue sky and my first visit to the Usk for a couple of years. Lots of flies hatching when I started fishing just after 10.30. Hooked and lost a nice fish second cast, on an olive spider. Alas that was it. Switched between a team of wets and a dry fly but apart from a couple of splashy rises to the dry didn't make contact with another fish.

No fish, hot day, see Abercynrig comments. Found x2 other anglers on Dinas, one of which was booked, the other had strayed downstream from Brecon Anglers beat.

1 nice WBT about 14" caught upstream nymphing, taken on a soft hackled pheasant. There were a few fish sporadically rising to a reasonable March Brown hatch but none were seduced by my dry flies however this may have been due to my rusty presentations in a stiff breeze after a long winter.

Another good day with the river in great condition. A steady LDO hatch at lunchtime though not very heavy. No March Browns this week. I had a few on spiders in the morning and then a few more on the dries at lunchtime. Best fish was 1.75lb. By about 3pm, it was all over.
