Area:Usk - Wild Stream
Beat:Lower Grywne Fawr
Fishing:Trout (River)
No. of Anglers:1
Hazy, windy, mild day, water cold and quite fast. Very little insect life showing during the day. No rising fish. Fished almost the whole beat Duo with no success (March Brown, Gold Head PT) but then was rewarded with a 14" in one of the slower, deeper pools. This would have been an amazing fish, but it was very thin and had lost loads of colour, going very silver. It still gave a good account of its self. In peak condition I would have struggled on my #2!

Not a sign of a trout, which was most surprising as I had had good sport the previous day on a private beat just a few yards lower. The only fish I caught were five salmon parr.

These were very small trout – 5 inches – obviously returned. I now feel that barbless hooks should be the norm on this stream. I sense that trout of any substantial size are possibly not around. One or two Himalayan Balsam plants had popped up so I plucked these out. It is a nice, well looked after river. I enjoyed my day's fishing. Thanks.

This beautiful stream was in superb condition. Fished wet downstream for two hours on a warm and sunny afternoon. Saw little fly life and no rising fish but connected with a good fish which I lost. It is a great shame to see Himalayan Balsam invading the banks of this stream.

In very hot, dry conditions the water was extremely low and trout difficult to tempt. I did get a few offers to small dry flies, but didn't connect with anything. The coppicing has undoubtedly improved the beat but a little more maintenance would not go amiss. However, access is straightforward and the directions to the beat are easy to follow.

I found this a tough beat, lots of foliage to get snagged on and stream bed not easy to wade, mainly small boulders. Despite the difficult casting not helped by a upstream gusting wind I managed to hook three small WBT and landed one, all on small Adams drys.
