River extremely high with scary wading. Very few fish rose despite a decent hatch around midday. Managed to winkle out a few trout going subsurface.

Beautiful beat, but no fish rising! River low, weather hot. Perfect instructions and pool details. A pleasure to read.
Thank you for caring for this lovely stretch of the Usk.

According to my records, I fished the lower half of this beat in early 2008; today I fished the upper half, so it has taken me just over 13 years to complete this beat! What the hell was I thinking - this is a lovely bit of the Usk and I see from my notes I had a great time on the last trip too. It has a wonderful mixture of deep pools, riffles, runs and glides - something for everyone (some of the deep gutter pools scream salmon too?). The bedrock in some places is indeed treacherous - like ice, would definitely repeat the advice for felt soles and studs. I was more Torvill & Dean than Lefty Kreh out there (at one point I think I managed a triple salco, was thankful to land it but doubt I would have scored more than a 3! XD). The fishing was a bit slow today, not much rising and when they did it was nearly always a single rise which did not repeat. The one fish that did rise repeatedly was near some tree canopy and there were needle fly around there - after a couple of changes I caught him on a Snipe and Claret spider which made a good imitation. Also some caddis, and very occasional mayfly hatching, but they didn't really get going well - caught the other four on nymphs. All average or small for the Usk (between 8 and 12") - I did manage one bite on a dry (Elk Hair Caddis) which looked much bigger from the rise form, but didn't connect unfortunately. Thanks and I look forward to fishing it again (and it won't be another 13 years)!

River was high in morning so didn’t start until gone 12.the level started dropping and colour improved as the day went on. Some good fish to the deep nymph on the lower beat. The dropping water really turned on the sport. Fish to14 “ and a lovely wild beat.

River very low but a beautiful beat with lots of wildlife, the ducklings were much more interested in my klinkhammer than the trout were. Fished morning and evening, duo and dries but couldn't tempt any of the sporadically rising fish despite a number of fly changes. Finally changed to a PTN at dusk and caught two nice trout in quick succession from a gutter at the lower end of the beat. I also rescued a bat that had taken a fly hanging from a bankside tree, thankfully still alive, a reminder that we all need to do everything to take all tackle with us.
