Water far too low to fish. Will hopefully be able to re-book another venue via this site.

Various trout sizes caught by Nymph on indicator and dry flies All fish returned.

Evening fishing, cool temperature for May, downstream wind made casting tricky. There were very few fish showing, and few insects on the river.

Windy and bright at times. Plenty of fly life at times. Fish pretty choosy.

Quite a decent rise all day, but the fish were being very picky, quite often spitting out (and thus missing) the fly. Got 2 on a Jingler (14) late on, but the consensus seemed to be that a very small emerger or BWO (eg. size 18 Klinkhamer) was the best bet.

A plesant few hours low and clear, but plenty of fly.
Black knat were on the wing from mid morning, but late morning the up wings started to hatch
and the fish were looking up.
Bumped a few off on the dry ( a cdc and elk) and manaaged to stay attached to one.
Not easy fishing but well worth the effort.

What a lovely stretch of the river Usk. weather was overcast with a few sunny spells later in the afternoon. Fishing upstream of the bridge there were lots of fish rising in the afternoon but not taking dries off the surface. Also told the same by the previous days angler who I chatted to. No fish caught and no takes.
We both found access to the river difficult and limited down both banks, especially the right bank upriver of the bridge. Some areas described as easy wading gravel were in fact more difficult with large rocks and boulders but we did find some good areas to wade. Not really able to fish from the banks as high sided and overgrown.
Disappointing that we didn't catch but will definately return soon and use different technique next time.
Overall still a lovely stretch of river that clearly holds fish.
