A hot (22C) sunny day. Water very clear and low enough to see most of the 'skeleton' of the river. I fished from 1000hrs to 1800hrs but only had 2 fish to show for my effort (a small trout and a small grayling) but I missed many more (including what appeared to be a couple of sizeable trout). I was surprised that there wasn't a noticeable and distinct hatch of anything but there was a drip drip of caddis and mayfly emergers throughout the day. It was good to see a sandpiper flying upstream.

River extremely clear, only a few but good sized fish seen.. hardly any rises

No surface activity so went nymphing in the fast water and caught 14 trout up to 16 inches. The wading is very tricky, even with a wading stick, felt boots with studs and trying to be very careful I still went for a swim.

A beautiful stretch of the Usk with plenty of fishable water. Despite prolific hatches very few rising fish and it proved a very frustrating day. Just one lovely fish between 2 of us but it probably says as much about the fishermen as the fish! We will definitely return. 1 x 14" BT on a gold head PTN.

Lovely stretch, only managed to fish for 30 mins and lost a couple of fish on small gold head nymphs. Wil return with more time to explore.
