We picked this beat on account of the beautiful scenery but what we hadn't factored in was the proximity to holiday cottages/campers etc which mean't that at least half of the beat was unfishable due to people swimming and picnicking on the river. So, we concentrated our efforts on the top of the beat. The main pool was hard to fish due to the depth and awkward wading but there were lots of fish moving here. Our best sport was had at the very top where the water runs down towards the pool. 4 trout on a small black klinkhammer best of which was around 3/4 lb. What a stunning river the Usk is!

Over cast and warm on this wonderful beat. My first time here. Worked the lovely glides and flats about 500m up stream of the bridge. I x 10” WBT. Tried a dry both rusty Klinkhammer and pale yellow watery. Must have had 5 or 6 connections but landed nothing. A great day despite failing to land my bites.

Note to Booking Office. I met Peter who works at the post office. Had a coffee in their lovey cafe before I started. He was charming but mentioned that fishermen are using the post office car park at the rear. It’s a small tight car park so they would rather fisherman parked on the road about 10 M down from the post off rice. I said I would pass this info on to you.

Much more successful evening than Monday.
Lots of fish rising to a dry the in the tails of pools.
Top section particularly lively.
