Beat easy to get to. One small trout caught. Cool dry day. River conditions good. Saw couple of fish rise. Would fish again.

Lovely brown trout about 10” long on a claret bumble in the eastern end. Steady wind and warm , occasional fish rising

The beat was a tricky one to wade, definitley chest waders required for getting through the deeper stretches. Caught all fish on Caddis fly the only one that interested the very lively trout. Lost a few when they went airborne and threw the hook. Bridge pool gave the most takes today.
Most enjoyable day.

A beautiful day on the Usk reservoir, like a millpond, landed 5 rainbows and had quite a few bites as well.All fish caught on worm

One or two mayfly only and very little activity from the fish.

Near perfect conditions, warm , no stiff downstream breeze ( unlike yesterday), sunny but with cloud. Flies in abundance.

Started with a dry and a fish took it first cast, unfortunately I didn't connect but the omens were good. But...… that was the last take on the dry . Water level was quite low so I crossed to the other side , the run further upstream has been very productive in the past. Continued with a dry but no takers. then switched to a klink with a nymph, took 2 trout one of 8 inch and a nice fish of 12"
Waded back across but no luck with the klink and nymph Switched to a team of spiders with a beaded hare's ear nymph on the point. No luck in the lower section but waded back across and caught a nice Grayling of about 15" and trout of similar size.
No fish rising at all.
Intended to stay late for an evening rise but wind came up and temperature drooped so headed for home.

Fished from midday till 6. Water low and clear. A few mayfly about as well as some other trout-meal-sized flies. Parked down at the bottom of the beat and fished up.
Had both fish before getting to the weir. Both fat 8”. There is lots of trout-y looking water below the weir but not so much above it. Saw plenty of fish rise but they melted away when I got close.
Got as far as the road bridge and gave up after nothing spotted moving for a while. With a proper hatch I bet this place would be great fun! Thanks

All fish taken by my fishing buddy, the last fish was a particularly fine specimen, all taken on nymphs. Glorious sunny day with very little fly life to report except a few Mayflies.
