The Usk was heavily coloured this afternoon & I contemplated heading elsewhere.... However I decided to give the streamers a go. It turned out to be a red letter day with 20 odd fish to the net! Countless number of takes, follows & fish that threw the hook. Great fun.

Well with Mrs A working till about three , I saw on the met office app that later on weather improving , so that was the green light to get out there and fish a beat for a couple of hours !!!!

Gave The Lyonshall beat of the Arrow a bash this morning , parked at the bottom bridge , looked pretty racey and a bit coloured but kitted up , what the hell , and got going . . . .

Things were pretty hectic , and as I slipped into the river by the bridge , further up was a splashy aggressive rise to a mayfly , yeeeeeeeeeees I thought , Danica is gracing us on a blustery day like today , Great stuff !!!!!

The glides between the two bridges were the best sport today , close in , hammering the Mohican mayfly , and during the time I was there , eleven till two ish , managed to bring to hand seven crackers , really feisty fish , ranging in size from seven to twelve inches maybe . . . . I fished perhaps a hundred yards up from the second bridge and then called it a day at about two o clock , a fun few hours , even with the river up and a bit coloured , spot on !!!!

Some fish slipped off the barbless hook and had a few long range releases , the annoying breeze was frustrating , and why is it the wind is always a downstream one when your fishing gggrrrrrrrrr!!!!! The river will be back to normal in a couple of days , although I was happy with the sport this morning , it's a cracking beat , back soon , nice start to the weekend !!!!! Happy days !!!!!!

Large Chub caught on nymph, small trout and a couple of Dace. Water crystal clear.

1 Trout, 1 Chub, 2 Other

3 of us fishing on the A470 side at the 2nd car park. Caught 1 straight away on a worm on a ledger, 1 on a green and gold spinner mid day, and the 3rd last going off on the bubble float. 2 lbs each. Saw a lovely golden trout swimming past us in the shallow but couldn't get our rods to it in time. Saw the bailiffs making regular visits to the res which was great, making sure all have paid and are using legal bait.

Me and young son spent about 3 hours fishing just the very first part of beat,found it hard to progress with my 9 year old son under the railway bridge where there is a fallen tree. A Local told me the trout farm had been shut down for ages but not sure about this as there are still people,a car, and what looks like offices there behind the gate. Caught a lovely 13 inch brownie,one at 9inch and an eleven inch rainbow,our record before today was an eight inch brook trout so chuffed to bits. We drove past the fish farm before leaving and there was a layby next to a wide open field up past the Weir with easy access to river,will be back, awesome thanks.
