Usk reservoir is amazing and a fantastic day out.

The water was pushing through really nicely today and with just a little colour. Some mayfly on the go when I got in the river mid afternoon and as I progressed further the numbers increased and quite a bit of spinner on the go towards the evening as well as good numbers of brook dun spinner too. Interestingly the further up the beat I got the numbers increased. However, its been a few years since fished this lovely beat and access is very tricky (or impossible at times )in places now , new barbed wire fences etc and couldn't make it all the way up the beat today . Still got the big pools it used to have though, great.
Fish where smashing away at the emerging mayfly and really smashing away at my emerger too and couldnt connect with any today !! Aaaghh...
Was great to see the mayfly out and some good fish on the move.
Looked like some good fish resident too and will revisit soon when hopefully they've calmed down a bit and slurping on the duns and spinner!
I was staying in the camp field at the fantastic Tan House farm camp site and the Lower Longtown stretch looking really good but was very quiet with fly and fish by comparison which was curious but am sure it will switch on soon enough .
Didnt fish it this time there,another time , but the resident Kingfisher was putting on some fab flybys and was really lucky to watch it close up fishing for a while! Fabulous and so good to be out and back in the shadow of the Black Mountain !

Late afternoon spent here with lots of fish rising, difficult to work out what they were taking. Managed to temp a few with mayfly. 3 fish caught, largest around 1lb.

Quite a chilly day with a brisk wind seemed to put the fish down with very few fish rising despite a reasonable amount of flylife on the water.
Had 3 on a flash ptn up to 14" and lost a few others.
Found this beat quite challenging compared to others I've fished on the usk but very enjoyable all the same.
As noted in the write up the wading is a bit hairy in parts! Caution required.

Good day but a little cold. Had a few takes but no fish today.
