No fish and despite commando style fishing conditions, this was enjoyable. The river was in perfect condition and who knows what may have been possible if half of the pools had been fishable.

Note to owner. Some tree branch cutting is desperately needed to open up the pools to Salmon angling. I am sure that in low water for trout these dense bankside trees will not be a problem, but if serious about salmon fishing in high water far too many pools and runs are inaccessible which is a shame.

Very bright day, spend few hours on the river from 12-5pm. Lovely day out!

storm brings water levels a tad higher higher but winds make casting hard. Only had a couple of hours, one missed. Nice stretch of water

Water very low , fished with Fly nothing seen

Good day. River at a nice height after rain the previous day. Fish feeding hard!

A morning session with light nymphs fished on a French leader into the heads of the pools caught a few fish. This was proper stealthy fishing, not putting my head above the vegetation. I saw a good number of fish, some of a good size, but it was only the ones in the feeding lanes that could be caught. The largest was 16" but very fat and strong with the classic pink flanks and black spot Usk markings. I saw one Mink which is the first this season on the Usk, I think the Otters are keeping their numbers down.

Fishing was really difficult due to the hot weather and very low water levels as indicated by the returns.
We would like to thank the Wye and Usk foundation also many many thanks to the owners of Woodmans Parry Cottage for such a lovely welcomed stay and the advice from Mr Powell about the fishing area layouts we would certainly like to try the area around Brecon again. Thank you once again.
