Fantastic day. 17 trout on dries and size 16 scruffy nymphs (euro nymph) all larger trout on nymphs. Biggest just under 2lb, three around 1.5lb. Caught a few smaller fish on dry (jingler). A few dark olives hatching early afternoon. Only second time fishing Usk, first time yesterday on beat below Dinas (3 -all on dries). Will be back!

Both fish taken while prospecting with a dry fly. Only saw one rise other than the ones i could lure up.
First time on this beat... challenging access if in a motorhome- was actually very alarming at points down the access lane! I highly advise anyone to set their rods up once down at the river rather than attempting to navigate the overgrown path with rods set up. Would have much preferred to have been on the other bank but really no chance of crossing the river!
Anyway, my first Usk trout in the net which is lovely, but i would look to explore other beats on next visit to the river.

Me and a buddy of mine (James) had a brilliant evening on this Stretch yesterday evening, spent about 3 hours testing this beat as it was our first time fishing it! it was fantastic! lots of variation in different types of waters, we did some European style Nymphing, and some usual dry fly fishing, and had three lovely Trout straight away! we hoped for a good hatch as the sun was going down but, nothing much going on with top surface action! can't wait to go back for round two!

2 Brown trout: 9 inches and 15 inches (both returned). Both caught on dry flies (Greenwell's Glory parachute and March Brown). River in good condition (on the higher side but clear). Air temperature: cold.

Very nice stretch of water and easy access . I will be back for another trip soon when the river level has dropped and better clarity to the water .
