Two browns taken on nymphs. Apparently didn’t have the dry’s they wanted.

Quite a few fish rising as there was fresh water in the river. Caught two on dry Daddy. Nothing doing using nymphs. Lovely evening.

Evening ticket - fished 6:15-9:15. Stunning looking beat as always - the end of a very hot day, still over 22deg on starting.
A few fish showing, so switched to dries quickly. Rose several good sized (2lb+) fish at lower end of beat, some turning away after nosing the fly, and a few splashy takes - all frustratingly missed. Finally had an 8" WBT to hand - probably the smallest fish seen all evening. Low, clear river - but still one of the most stunning stretches around.
A flock (8-10) of goosanders half way down was not encouraging.

River very low and nothing much moving. I saw a parade of nine goosanders - spectacular, but maybe they had something to do with the lack of fish.

My first visit to the Usk. A very wet day, parked by the bridge (parking n2) and fished downstream.
Not many fish moving but caught 3 small trout the largest around 1/2 pound. 2 on midge larve and 1 on grhe nymph.

Also 2 salmon parr which was good to see.

Must say despite the weather that this was the most picturesque location I have ever fished.

Beautiful stretch of the Usk. Conditions were good - a little rain early on, gusty and warm. Plenty of fast flowing patches into pools. Few rises, so nymphs (mostly olive) were used which caused little trouble to the fish. 1 good fish hooked but not landed due to HIN.

Very few fish rising, had one on a copperhead nymph
