Thanks to Simon in office for help and advice. One brown trout of about 8 ounces on dry parachute adams just below upper bridge neck about 4.30pm
Thoroughly enjoyed the day - learnt so much. I just wish i didn't live 5 hours away in broadstairs Kent.

Fished 9-1pm. 1xBT caught on gold bead PTN between the Flats and Fence End. Mustela lutreola seen by House Gutter. Water flowing fast after rain yesterday.

4 trout caught on a tan size 16 DHE.

A cold wet day with a very low river. Brown algae coated the bed making for slippery wading. Few fish seen and I blanked.
Fished the following day that started with similar weather That cleared into beautiful sunshine. Caught one decent fish on nymph, again very limited surface activity. Lovely surroundings.

A drizzly and cold day. Some sporadic spinner rises but fishing difficult. Caught half a dozen tiddlers and parrs. Some decent fish moving about but very skittish and in difficult to access part of river.

1 x trout,returned. Emerger pattern. Bright sunny day but with difficult downstream wind.

Two rods fished all day in hot sunshine for a total catch of one 7 inch trout. A beautiful beat but fish were simply not responding in the hot weather.

Challenging days fishing due to bright conditions. Fish very picky and only responding to very light tackle (8x leader - size 20 flies) despite excellent hatches. 2 caught and returned. Excellent day.

A hot summers day spent on a beautiful stretch of the Usk! The fishing was generally hard going, the hot, bright weather seemingly putting the fish off feeding. Final tally was around 20 fish between the two of us, largest around 0.75lbs. Stayed on till 2220 in the hope of a bumper spinner fall but unfortunately it wasn't too be! Oh well, still a wonderful day.

Unfortunately bright sunshine throughout the day made fishing extremely difficult. We managed 5 very small wbt between us. Nevertheless a great day on a terrific part of the river.
