River low and clear. Overcast, no wind. A few olives from around 11am and a few trout showing at 1 30pm. Caught two good fish in a fast run close to the bank on drys in the morning.

Lovely beat with lots of nice looking water but didn't catch or see a rising fish all day. Only saw a brief flurry of upwings around lunch time but these went un-disturbed by the fish. Enjoyed the day and the spring sunshine but will probably keep my powder dry on returning until the weather warms up and hatches become more consistent. Good to be back on the Usk!

Nice day except for the gusty upstream wind,temperature good for this time of the year so plenty of hatches,mainly upwings. 2 small WBT caught on a size 18 cdc emerger and made
all the more enjoyable as they were taken on a fabulous Luke Bannister cane rod! Perfect for a river like this and already looking forward to next year!

There was reasonable water and a few flies hatching, although the fish never really quite got going. Small emergers were the order of the day.
2 fish and a great day on this lovely beat.
Many Thanks and looking forward to next season.

Four nice trout gave a good show on a Tenkara outfit fished with a nymph. Not an easy day only a few fish seen but lovely September day

My first visit to the Usk this year and unfortunately all the porkers seemed to be somewhere else. Saw very little in the way of fish all day but did manage 3 x wbt to nymph patterns fished on a french leader. All returned.

1 small trout caught on size 18 Adams. Very cold East wind may have accounted for little observed fish activity.

River was rock bottom, low and clear Conditions were bright and sunny with slight cloud later. Very few fish were rising and although I missed a couple on drys it was very hard going. 1 small fish came to a small Goldhead nymph on Klink and Dink and I lost another fish on nymph late in the day. In hindsight I should have fished long range nymphing tactics but you live and learn.
It's a beautiful stretch of water and will return.

River in good condition, if a little low as is normal at this time of year. Lovely day, although later on that caused my shadow to lengthen across the water. That alone though can't account for my low tally of 2 fish - one of 6, one of 8 inches. A bigger one (of course) got away. I was fishing spiders, but I'm afraid I can't remember their names. I must start labeling them in my fly box.
