Could not find any of the access/parking points. I thought the map quality/directions sheet were very poor. 25 Mike round trip and no fishing.

2 brown trout, about 8 and 10" on LDO dries. Both came during a hatch in the early afternoon that lasted about 90 minutes, it was absolutely dead the rest of the day with not a sniff on a wide variety of flies, but during that hatch the trout suddenly switched on. These Usk trout are so moody! Would have caught several more during the hatch I think if not for a very strong downstream wind - no escape from that on this beat and casting upstream into the teeth of it was very difficult even with a #5/6, even impossible during some gusts. At least the downpours are over though! Lost one other decent fish of about 16" that was hooked near a tree, he got under and transferred the hook before I could turn him. It's a beautiful beat with a lot of nice birdlife - large colony of sand martins back in one bank, lovely to see them zipping over the river again. Sandpipers and willow warblers have also returned.

Lovely day on the river. Saw my first fish rise of the season and managed to snaffle 3 wbt on the dry. Rises were few and far between so the nymph rod came out quite a lot and accounted for the other 3.
