Random feeding. Not holding station. Could of been chasing small caddis but they definitely took every upright. Weird. Lots of park users, and I mean lots.

Unfortunately the water was very murky with only a few inches of visibility, there was quite a bit of rain in the morning which did not help. The beat had some passable sections but overall didn't have any exceptional water to fish. There was a brief hatch of olives (20-30mins) but no rises. Managed to hook one swinging a wet fly in the riffle but didn't land it. Very many people walking there dogs and throwing stuff in the river but this is not surprising for a town water. This was also our first time fishing the Usk so maybe that had something to do with our rough day as well. However, after having fished different beats on the Usk I must say that there are much nicer looking beats with nicer water and no dogs swimming or people throwing rocks where you're fishing. Will not be going again next time visiting Wales and would not recommend.

Very frustrating day ! There was so much fly on the water yet hardly any risers and limited movement to nymphs . The 6 to hand were split 3 on cdc blue winged olive pattern and 3 on bead head nymphs . 5 hooked and lost also . Spiders in the streamy water didn't get a pull . By 12 p.m the water started to colour quite a bit . Size wise 3 between 10- 12 inch , 2 around 14 inches and one nice fish about 18 inches .

Great venue. Easy parking and wading.

Beautiful sunny day 15c with the llanfoiat gauge at 0.4, lots of people out walking dogs and throwing rocks but to be expected on a town water. Luckily didn't seem to affect the fish too much as there were loads rising.
Huge grannom hatches from about 9am with the March browns kicking off at 12, ldos trickling off all day.
Only caught the one (1lb bt) on a size 16 klinkhammer but lost 3 others on the same fly, they appeared to only be taking emerge style patterns.

A few trout rising between 10-13.00 but no takers.

A smolt has also been catch.
We have seen an otter and 2 juveniles!!!
One of us filmed the juveniles playing .
If you are interested, tell me.
A white liquid, coming from a pipe has been seen, pollution?

Seen plenty of fish but was not easy to catch them due to lots of people and dogs around the river. Walking and access from the right hand side was not easy, did not had a chance to walk to the end of the stretch due to vegetation and trees.
Anyway, spent a good day and manage to catch 2 on euronymphing, so I am happy from today. Looking ahead to find different clubs quite far away from towns. As quiet as better.

Started at 1030. Windy day, light rain on and off, reasonably heavy rain for 20mins just before noon, relatively strong wind for most of the day but plenty of protection from the trees.

River has good flow and a little colour from recent rain. Quite a few pulls fishing heavy nymphs and a small steamer down and across but only managed to properly connect with three. Nothing rising in the flats.

Fish were well coloured and fit, smallest 6", largest about 11"

Lot of chub showing. One on spiders then tried all sorts without return. They were taking something just below the surface. Very warm.
