Beautiful beat on a beautiful day. One take but lost at the net and nothing more. Plenty of fish about but bright and clear conditions made it difficult fishing.
Lots of activity at dusk as I was leaving and will definitely be fishing here again!

2 x small trout on orange spider. Funny day, weather was ideal but fish not playing. Hardly any rising fish. Nice beat, I enjoyed it.

Had great expectations: a warm, muggy overcast day with just a gentle breeze. Some olives, pale wateries and black gnats coming off. WBT on third cast of the day was a good omen. Then nothing . A dribble of flies over the course of the day but no sustained hatch, so resorted to nymph. Report received of a salmon jumping at the bottom of the beat

Thank you for crediting me for the booked days I could not make last year because of the Covid ban on travelling to Wales. This was a lovely day on one of my favourite beats with the river in great condition and with a good flow. An Usk expert could probably have caught a lot of fish as flies, including mayfly, were coming off all day and particularly in the late afternoon, and plenty of fish were moving, though I did not locate any sizeable ones. I took three smallish trout on a goldhead pheasant tail, two in the Abercynrig Pool and one in Llanobery - they wouldn't look at any of my dries, probably my fault. I found it quite awkward to climb over the crossing point on the fence leading to the lower pool - in fact I dragged a fallen tree trunk there to give us something to step on. My other hobby is wildlife photography and I spent a lot of my day on that, getting shots of a hunting male kingfisher (which appears to have a nest somewhere in the high bank at Llanobery, so please be cautious), a pair of redstarts and grey and pied wagtails catching flies.
