no joy

Just lovely. Loads of fly life and a fair number of rising fish. One really decent trout brought to hand and a couple of long distance releases plus numerous splashy hits. Great fun.

Just a quick visit - not much going on

No Fish to be seen.
Very picturesque, never the less.

Did not make it today clutch went on car on way to reservoir so missed the fishing day

Nice calm conditions, caught a nice sized rainbow on a spinner.

Had an afternoon session using various patterns on a dry dropper set up. Fished the upper portion, good beat but access isn’t easy. Had some bites but no catches. Still had a great afternoon on the river and would definitely come again.

With the Usk running high I made a late decision (thankfully) to switch to the Honddu. It had a bit of colour from overnight rain but not too high.
A fun day flicking a duo into likely pockets. A steady trickle of olives from 12:30 only raised one fish that I witnessed, but it wasn't tempted by my emerger and after 10mins it sensibly disappeared. Seven fish to net, and lost another couple. Mostly around 9-10", and a leviathan of 18", that had me in tree roots and around rocks. I'm amazed it stayed on. Lots of crouching and kneeling, so sore knees tomorrow. Have to get some knee-pads.

Difficult conditions to fish in as the rain started intensifying throughout the session.
2x caught on nymphs
