River very clear, downstream wind a bit chilly. 5 caught, 4 on a nymph below a bushy sedge and 1 took the sedge.

Couldn't seem to get any takes even though we tried all likely spots.

Rained most of the day, river low. We were using mostly pheasant tail or hare's ear nymphs. I caught 1 brown about 1 1/2 lbs. there were a lot of smaller fish topping but could' entice them with any fly on the surface afterwards we thought they might have been taking emergers as there were a lot of olive hatches. We do need to gain more river fishing experience as it was very hard work.

My first time ever on the Usk. Fabulous river, lots of different pools and runs to fish. Some fish taken on dry sedge patterns and some on tungsten nymphs below an indicator. Absolutely lovely river. One fish of about 2 pounds will live long in the memory.

River very low. I wish I brought felt soles the rocks were very slippery. Got two very nice trout on leader to hand tactics.
The directions have changed the there is no toilet sign and I think the layby mentioned has been filled in.

A few small trout rising giving a fun few hours, but nothing caught.

Very blustery day that prevented me from fishing dries. Fished the whole day with nymphs and netted 16 trout ranging from 6" to a whopping 20". Few mayflies, Brook Duns and BWOs coming off at lunchtime onwards, but the wind kept the fishes heads down in the deeper pools.

The river has dropped quite quickly after yesterday but was still fast flowing with some colour. Only fished to 1pm before heading home. No fly life in evidence and not a single trout rising. 3 trout caught on a nymph. 2 around 8 inches, the other about 11 inches.

Tough day, windy, cold and very very wet. One small trout and one missed is all in a lovely river.

River in good condition. Not the warmest of days and only a few flies coming off around lunchtime. Fished the French leader for the first few hrs and it produced 5 lovely trout the biggest being 17". Then the fish started to rise in the junction pool so I swapped to dry fly and took 2 small trout and missed about 4 others. The rise finished as quick as it started, so I prospected with the klink n dink for the last hr that produced a beautiful fish to 21". Good day all round.
