All fish caught using the Duo with most of the fish taking the nymph. The biggest was my seasons best at 19” and in great condition.

Both blanked

Fished with my brother today, caught six the biggest 19" and he had a few more including another beauty of 16"(report to folllow). We were bit worried about the weather on arrival as there had been a fair dump of rain overnight. On arrival the river was up about a foot and rather colured, visibility about three feet. Few insects and nothing rising but we did pick up the occasional fish on nymphs. Later on the water cleared a bit and some caddis, and a few olives got going - the odd rise then and we got a couple on Klinhamers but most were on nymph today. The 19"er gave a good scrap in the strong flow, I was worried she would power off downstream but thankfully managed to guide her into a slightly slower eddy. Beautiful fish, and rather different in appearance to many other Usk browns - olive with few, faint spots, although still with that wonderful gold colour around the head and underbelly and in lovely condition. All fish returned as usual. Thanks for a lovely day out!

The beat fished quite hard through the day- but two trout caught in the end, with the best at 16" on a sedge, late afternoon. A hard on light tackle- glad I was fishing strong, 6lb tippet.

I also missed some others on dries and had a smaller fish using a small Woolly Bugger streamer. There are some fine fish here, but the feeding spells can be short.

Fishing was slow at the start, although beautiful on the river in lovely sunny conditions. It picked up a bit later on when a few insects started showing - half caught on caddis patterns, others on small mayfly duns and spinners.

Tough day. No risers until last knockings and then I just couldn’t work out what they were taking. 4 trout on nymphs

Access is very poor and dangerous. Ok once in the river though.
