Bright with a cold wind. The water was gin clear, so long leaders were the order of the day. Had one nice fish early on swinging a small black spider. Picked up a couple of smaller fish through the day on small tungsten nymphs
As the light started to soften there as a small flurry of hatching insects that got the trout moving that produced 3 fish in about 20 minutes to a size 16 CDC & Elk.

Great day on the Usk again, water high so wading a bit tricky!

River very full and flowing; downstream wet fly, Wickhams, Landed 4 up 6oz to 1lb. Plenty of takes.

Very quiet, a few very small rising - limited time on water to 3 hours due to another commitment also very early AM so not unusual to see limited action - not fish caught had 2 come to dry fly but very small fish turn away at last moment.

Small trout caught on small pheasant tail missed three. Saw two very nice trout but alas they spotted me too. Still great fun. Thank you.

River very low ... all the fish were taken in fast water, nymph suspended under an indicator ... hooked and lost a couple.

Evening ticket and fished from 17:30 onwards. Blustery downstream wind made dries difficult but managed to bring one fish up to a para Adams on the flats. Not a lot hatching at all and even fewer fish rising. Had a go with various nymphs in pocket water and the tail of the upper bridge pool. Couple of missed plucks from tiny things. Will be back to give this beat a thorough going over when there's a bit more water.

Fished on an evening ticket from the bridge downstream. I fished with dries (Adams, Tups, Greenwell's) and then nymphs (GHHE, GRHE, stonefly) and Dad with winged wets. Only one rise and two plucks.

Plenty of sedges and fly life generally but very few fish moving and the few that I saw were easily spooked. Fished into the evening and changed tactics to dragging a biblio across the surface which produced a flurry of takes for about half an hour. I must have lost 6 or 7 before I finally brought a fish of about a pound to hand.
