What a lovely beat, it was warm and sunny, the river was fast flowing in areas and wading was tricky.

Not a single fish between us, we went through the fly boxes using Nymphs, parachute Adam's, Sedges, Shrimp, Daddy's the lot and not a single hit. We were stalked by a heron who also didnt catch a thing, we didnt see any fish rising despite a few hatches in the afternoon sun. We fished from 09:00 to 16:00 due to a 3.5 hour drive but a bad day on the river is better than a good day in the office.

2nd time to this beat in 5 days, river has dropped from 0.112 on the 12th to 0.082 on the 17th on Millbrook gauge(i think that would be the the nearest) making it so much more easy to get around i still managed to fall in twice!! I think i was over confident .
Fished from 11 till 4 started top of beat again, 2 caught on red spiders others on heavy nymphs in deeper water all but one over 12" good fighting fish also lost 4. I intended the finish at the pool by the bridge but there was a young family swimming there all having good fun i think I'd had my fun for the day plus getting cold so i left a little earlier than intending.
Another great day on a great Usk beat.

I'd had my fun for the day and was wet and cold so decided to make my way back to Malvern i finished around 4pm Another memorable day on the Usk. Thank you fishing passport

Beautiful beat good access ,started at top of beat and worked down .Water was quite fast flowing so needed to be careful. Eventually caught one around 8" on a nymph then missed one. Ended up by pool by the bridge with a few fishing rising lost two more to size 20 parachute Adams. Had a great day hopefully return later this week with the water a bit lower for round 2

One of my favourite beats as long as you come on a quiet week day. Steady fishing using double nymphing, Duo and Dry. The best fish was a very solid 18” the others went 17”, 16”, 13”, 2 x 12”,10”.”

Very little rising although there was a lot of flies hatching, shame I didn’t have enough time to fish the evening rise.
Had 2 small trout on nymphs

Tough day, low water. No fish

Best fish of 2lb. Most caught on a nymph. Fish rising but challenging on the dry.
