Hot day; fish rising and feeding on surface but both anglers failed to encourage any fish to rise to an artificial fly

No fish today, My first time on the Usk , it won’t be my last.The weather was warm and wet with threatening thunderstorms.

Only fished the evening but no fish, a few rising late on but remained elusive. Tourists and dogs in the water at top end as it was a lovely evening. Also 3 anglers from other bank in the river outside Chainbridge.

A really lovely spot, river was low. We didn't catch any trout but managed a few small chub on pheasant tail nymphs between us.

3 Chub

Nice stretch of water fished above the bridge from right hand bank
Access limited to the water bur push upstream to the pool and there are places you can get in
Nice wild trout taken on a PTN

water coloured and deep. i fished the top half of the beat first and found some fast water at the very top that was productive on nymphs. 2 fish to net and lost 3 more. all were over 1lb and one that i lost felt much bigger.

wading out to the foam lines & deep channels was tricky without being able to see the bottom. but worth it!

the bottom half of the beat i found completely inaccessible- the camp site bank has a drop of 15 feet all the way along & entering at the bridge & wading down stream was impossible in coloured deep water. perhaps in clear water it would be do-able

very few features on this part of the river but can imagine if the fish were rising it would be dry fly heaven with a stead y even flow.

returned to some faster water but nothing for the rest of the day.

all fish caught & lost were on the same green tag brown beaded nymph

Pleasant evening after heavy showers all day. Water just over .41m and warm compared to air temperature. Used a single size 12 spider pattern with partridge wings and alternate brown and blue lure flash wound body. Had an offer from a trout in woodstream which was encouraging and landed two others soon after of a pound and three quarters of a pound, but little afterwards. I switched to dry sedge at 21.30 in woodstream and enticed a large brown to smash it but it came off having left the water completely with aerial acrobatics. The fish was around two and a half pounds so disappointed I did not land it.
John fished pheasant tail nymph and landed three nice dace of around half pound each in woodstream. He also hade a take from a trout of around half pound but it came off.
Pretty good overall given the condition of the water.
