Nice brown trout about 10-12 inch. Caddis nymph fished euro style. Lost another and missed a few. Lovely sunny day but no fish rising.

not a touch - and.....
Usk gauge showing 0.219m - I've read elsewhere that it's fishable under 0.3. I will definitely wait for it to drop more before another visit. At this level it's hard to fish the far bank unless you're a lot braver than me.
Weather was hot and sunny so not the best, visibility around 4ft.
Sporadic individual olives hatching (I was there from 11:30 to 4:30).
I saw 6 or 7 fish, all cruising up and down their patch of the right hand bank in less that 30cms depth - all very nervous.
I saw 5 or 6 rises.
But it is a lovely stretch, I walked from the top of the beat down to the shallows past the pipe.

Had some trout New Zealand style with the big dry and nymph . Very good beat. A few boulders at the top but sunglasses and shin pads just in case.

Hot sunny day. Plenty of fly life, mostly caddis, but no rising fish. Four trout up to 13” caught on spiders.

Very tough fishing today. Not much hatching - the odd mayfly and caddis but just not enough to get the fish feeding, very few rises or other signs. Those we did see were mostly small fish rising to tiny flies - we only had about a dozen bites all day and most of those were on tiny patterns, often in slower water making presentation difficult, and difficult to hook - only one small trout caught. Had one other take during a brief mayfly hatch, was attached to a very good fish of 18" plus for nearly a minute, when suddenly the hook came adrift - not a good hook-up. Frustrating - one of those days! Still lovely to be out, this is a beautiful beat - thanks!
