Warm bright and dry. A few rises through the day. A fish caught on dark nymph

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day ? Despite the full bore sunshine and low twenties heat we caught most of our fish on dries in challenging conditions. My partner stayed on after 6 for the evening rise and found the fish more obliging with the sun off the water. Kingfishers in profusion.

Shared the beat with three otters, two kingfishers and a heron - all more competent fishermen than me!
A hot sunny day with no hatch to encourage much activity. Fished the deeper stretches with a variety of beaded nymphs but with no success .

River level quite low and would probably fish better with a bit more water. Some nice fish showing in the slacker sections, however very difficult to get a fy to them without spooking them. The two pools that top and tail the beat were the most fishable.

A lovely afternoon, although the downstream wind got a bit stronger as the afternoon progressed. Water level was good and overcast. Dry fly was difficult in the wind but had a couple of pulls on the flats. PTN took the only catch, a small WBT bought to hand. Lost another at bottom of beat. Pheasants, andKingfishers were lovely to see but the highlight was a salmon jumping at the pool just down from top of beat....

Fished this beat in the morning and Dinas in the afternoon. A tough day with four trout caught in total (two from Abercynrig). Three to a PTN and one on a deer hair emerger. Colder than expected with a brief sporadic hatch mid-afternoon. A beautiful part of the Usk.

I booked and fished Abercynrig and Dinas as the best fishing seems to straddle both beats. All caught in French leader

Enjoyable day fishing both Dinas and Abercynrig. Reasonable flush of small upwings during the morning but sadly little interest from the fish. All fish caught from faster water using either traditional upstream nymph tactics or Klink & Dink. Nothing huge with a mixture of palm of your hand sized stuff to the occasional fish around the pound mark. Good fun!
