Cloudy water but all in all good fishing. 5x WBT all around a pound.

Over night rain got the Honddu raging and colouring the Usk, had a look at the beat, a new one to me, called the office and was "washed off". Looking forward to returning. Thankyou to all at WUF.

I believe I have been catching sea trout even though the Usk is not a renowned sea trout river and the time of the season seems out. The two I took for the pan were very pink fleshed. I expected them to be a silver brown trout but I now think they could be early run sea trout. Caught at dusk on dry fly.
WUF Note: Some Usk (& Wye) brown trout can be very silver in appearance with dark spots and without much in the way of red or yellow markings. The fish caught were likely (but not definitely) browns.

Lots of flies but few rises. Caught 5 trout, max 15in on dry fly.

Fished wet and dry flies. River level pretty normal I
imagine but I've never fished this or similar rivers before.
The river was beautiful in glorious surroundings in
warm spring weather. I didn't see any fish or catch any fish which was disappointing but a highly enjoyable day nevertheless. I'm expecting to try Penpont tomorrow.

Two anglers caught ten brown trout, all in good condition with weights between 3/4lb and (a weighed) 3lb, all fighting fit! taken to various small dry flies (lots of medium olives showing). Good river height, bright overcast warm May day location is beautiful with good access.

Spotty day like the weather. Little activity until mid afternoon when there was a patch of about an hour when there were a number of fish feeding then nothing much for the remainder of the day.
Probably outmaneuvered by the fish but tried different water heights and types of flies during the course of the morning to no avail. Ultimately caught three fish and lost around four. The fish were taken on a klinkhammer and a wooly nymph. The largest was a pound and a half, the others half that size.
Really enjoyed the beat despite the inclement weather and will definitely return.
