Brown dry fly

A brisk early spring day on the Usk. 13 degrees with suit spells turning overcast. The wind picked up while I was there. Arrived about 10am and fished two spiders with a small beaded PTN with orange collar on the point . Picked up a lively 3/4 pounder quickly on the nymph. A very brief hatch occurred at 11.45 and then again an hour later. No more than 5-10 mins each time but it brought the fish up. They ignored my dry Jingler. Had multiple takes to my spiders fished downstream but they didn’t stay on. Picked another on the nymph before leaving. I hadn’t fished this beat before and even though there were a couple of dog walkers I enjoyed the water and will be back.

I'm a beginner and this was my first time on this beat. There was a good push of water through the deeper pools. I fished a floating short spey line with an intermediate polyleader. Water temp was 18 degrees. A brisk downstream wind meant I was having to double spey off my left shoulder which was horrible! ( But it was good practice)
I fished a 10 then a 12 Silver Stoat. No joy!
I saw a few trout rising but no sign of any Salmon.

Managed to get down for a couple of hours after work and had one WBT around 10in on a small nymph. A warm evening and river running crystal clear. A few fish rising, but no takes on the dry flies. Stunning stretch of the USK, very tranquil
