Warm day and low water. Nothing moving.

3 hours in evening, lovely time but did not see a fish.

No fish caught or seen but had a great day anyway and this beat has easy parking and access to the river, I would like to try this beat on an evening

No fish today. Spent a few hours up and down the beat, nothing on nymph. Tried a Dun and got a few rises in the middle section of the best and a few takes but they were too quick for me. Always a nice beat to while away a few hours… will be back.

My 1st trip to the Usk yesterday, Not much fly-life, a few pale wateries, and just the odd rise. Managed 3 takes on a iron-blue dun, missed the lot. Watched a salmon around 15lb making its way up the middle of the river. Other than a downstream wind, conditions and the river looked good.

Unfortunately there was a camping party on the other side of the river towards the downstream end of the beat. They were fooling around in the river and making a lot of noise.
I gave up after an hour.

Old Clytha is a short beat but works for me. Often only have a few hours to fish therefore a few more beats like this would be great, (What happened to Dan y Warren?). Lovely beat, nice day, although a bit cold. Water low and clear. Nothing for the first hour then a small hatch but not interested in my offering. Tried nymph and had a WBT at the top of the best, about 12inch, in good condition, returned. Enjoyed the day.

A nice couple of hours without seeing a fish. Plenty of fly life and a lovely sunny day. After lockdown was magic to be back on the water. Will try the beat again soon and see if I can do better.
