Not quite a blank, but nearly. It was one of those days when the fish wouldn't stay on, although I had quite a few takes on a downstream nymph, including one which broke the cast. Water lovely; but big change in the weather which was wet by midday, and I was wet by 1pm. A few flies around, and even fewer rises.

Not able to fish on 13th due to weather & high water

Was guided by Kim Tribe from the “real” Fly Fishing Wales. Started off with some hot fishing right out of the gate. Moved up to another spot, managed three fish, then the water got mucked up. Moved upstream and had some slow fishing until the last bit of water, where the fishing picked up a little.

The water looked better and there was daylight left, so we headed back to a beautiful flat for some dry fly fishing.

Stepped in the water and it was on right away! Caught 5- 6 in the top of the run and picked off four more on the way down. Caught a decent one in the tail out and called it a day.

If you want to fish with someone with decades of experience and real intimate knowledge of these streams, he is your guy!

With almost no rise (or hatch, except a few yellow mays) during the day, landed 4 modest fish on the duo (PTN). I was, however, surprised to hook on a small nymph a big fish (2.5 to 3 lbs) in the shallow water near my bank, which jumped and ran hard to a mid-stream snag/rock 20 yards upstream, on which it duly snagged the Klink and broke me. Reminded me of two great fish I lost on the Madison and Gunnison (Montana and Colorado), which I hooked close in to own bank and which ran immediately to a mid-river underwater rock snag and broke me. Given that the snag was nowhere near the lie and that they ran there immediately, I am sure they must have learnt this trick from experience in previously breaking off anglers, and now repeated this on me. Same on the Usk this time - so respect for their brainpower deserved. (Evening rise to duns, maybe BWO's, with another big one wrenching the downstream-trailing fly and breaking the 6x.)

6 bt to 1.5lb all caught on wet flies due to no rising trout

We have caught 7 small trouts nothing big in a couple of hours, the water was very clear, unfortunately too many people walking around with dogs and allowing them to jump in the water, which scares the fishes away. In general the time was nicely spent, I would recommend
Greetings to all anglers

This is a historic spot , the bank could do with a bramble clear up as getting in is difficult but once in the wading is on the whole pretty good , grhe for the 1 fish but turned over 2or 3 , this beat is very close to were i live so i do go more often than most , its almost always 1 fish 2or 3 turn overs ,
