River on its bones. Humid warm and bright until late afternoon when thunder clouds threatened but only a brief shower resulted. Arrived at 14:00 hrs. An olive hatch attracted the martins but not the trout. Over by 14:30. PTN in the deeper water teased out a couple of typical Usk WBT but the flow was so slow it was like fishing Llyn Onn. Another hatch followed at around 17:30 but unfortunately my schedule did not permit a longer stay. I think it is now time to look at evening bookings. The stile at the top of the beat has now been repaired!

6 X trout 6-16 inches, dry flies and spiders for CP of Buckinghamshire. A cloudy day, with just a little colour in the water now from the showers.

Second visit of the week on the Usk and weather slightly overcast and breezy. I knew the river was on its knees but again started at bottom of beat. High sticking again with grhe & Black nymphs which were taken by 3 trout but all lost. Finally managed to hook and land a very welcome trout which made up for the frustrations of the day. Access to the bottom part of the beat could be made safer and also the top access point needs work, however didn't spoil the day even though after patching up my waders they still leak.

River was low and the forecast didn’t give the showers and cloud promised so very tough going had to go micro to get any interest 5 trout all on small nymphs but nothing of any size , couldn’t expect a great deal in the conditions

Lovely day with all fish caught in quicker water or closer to bank under overhanging trees. Could have done with more water and more flow.
