First time here - A few pleasant hours on an evening ticket. Fished at the top of the beat near the bridge but I was soon joined in the pool by dogs jumping in and a couple of swimmers. Walked down to the lower end of the beat for a go but nothing doing which was a surprise as the flats looked good for a rise. Good practice for the following day's fishing though and the sunset was spectacular on the drive back.

Beautiful stretch parked right next to river, tricky fishing very low and clear. Many lost fish, would return

Lovely sunny day. Fished dry fly only and caught five trout on buoyant sedge patterns (Goddard, Rat-faced McDougal). Managed to avoid falling in all weekend until trying to leave the river today when we both took an unplanned bath. Very pleased with the state of the Usk though after a couple of years away. So many thanks to all those involved in preserving it

The river was low and clear and looked very beautiful. Weather cloudy in the am and sunny pm. Water temperature 12C, 54F. Wading precarious in places. 8 trout, 4 on dry flies, 4 on nymphs. The best was a terrific fish of 17", estimated just under 2lb. (Apologies for the old currency. Most of the action was before 13:00. Only saw 1 MB and one LDO ! Only 3 fish seen rising.
The track down to the river (in dry conditions) is now part of a field of wheat. I parked beside the canal.
Lovely day.

A beautiful day on the river but my is that water still cold!! A small flush of olives mid afternoon bought a couple of sporadic rises but nothing sustained yet. Both fish came to nymphs , think it will take a few more days of warm weather to get the trout truly moving.

Was on a small French nymph with pink.
