No fish no bites rubbish day

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.

One Salmon Briefly connected with on a Willie Gunn
Cocks Comb pool

Low and clear water.
Few Mayfly coming off the water and a few rises around 2pm but mostly very quiet.
Caught 2 trout on the Euro rod and lost a 3rd at the net.
Water temp 10 degrees.
River looking beautiful

Lovely river and a great spot - water was crystal clear if a bit low in places could do with another a foot of water.
Tricky wading in a few deep pools with overhanging branches that makes casting tricky. A few March Browns around but not much rising fish.

Wind quite gusty at times - and chilly- but we were pleased the find the river itself in excellent condition. Large hatch of LDOs. We each caught a good trout 1 3/4lb and 2lb. Should have caught more perhaps but a really enjoyable day on the river even so ????

Wonderful day, beautiful beat and really brilliant beat notes to help us navigate it. A salmon (we think) had a take but got away, and one (I think) chub caught (image attached so I can be corrected!) Thank you for a very special day. We really enjoyed
