WBT to 12 inches caught on ptn's in the morning and on Adams fished upstream in the afternoon.
First time on this beat and we will be back, it's an excellent beat.

Five brown trout. Lots of fish in river and saw a couple of big trout. Conditions were against me - not a breath of wind and bright sun all day. The fish were very spooky as a result. No salmon seen did try for a couple of hours with the salmon rod but needs a bit of water. Very nice day, thanks.

Fished from approx 10:00 to 20:00 and a very enjoyable experience. All fish taken were small browns, the biggest being about 1/2 lb and all taken on small nymphs primarily bead head hares ears. Water still a little low so access easy. Plenty of salmon movement in the top pool, nothing else lower down.

Wet and windy. Nice rise at lunchtime, Pale Wateries and Blue Winged Olives I think. 5 bites to klinkhammer, BWO dries but none to hand.

Bought a Salmon permit, in case the rains came early, it didnt so fished for trout instead, caught and safely returned 17 brown trout, all on nymphs, fishing in a gale of wind and driving rain. Not the typical day one pictures when trout fishing on a river, but still had a great day, thanks.

5 reasonably sized WBT caught on gold head PTN and hare's ear. Fish rising in early evening despite heavy rain. Hooked several fish on CDC olives but did not get any in the net.
All fish returned in good condition.

Two large clutches of Goosanders as well as the regular Heron presence.

Beautiful stretch, in the morning fished the upper part of the beat. It was very active, lots of fish, all around a 1/1.5 lb. After lunch started on the mid section, first pool but nothing happening - moved down to the crossing point which should have had tons of fish but nothing. Lower section, long deep pools - couple of large fish jumping but did not catch anything. Early evening went up to mid section and this was bubbling from the crossing point up - between the two of us we had approx 30 fish 1/1.5lb. Great sport but no large fish, even after a promise that it had been stocked with 2lb plus fish - overall a lovely day and great sport.

Enjoyed fishing from 10am to 7pm and caught 11 brown trout around 10 inches. Mostly cloudy with heavy rainfall around 4pm that stimulated the fish nicely and there appeared plenty rising in the evening after the rain. Used only dry flies, with parachute Adams working best, followed by daddy long legs, F-flies. All fish returned safely. This is one of the best beats on Usk as there are plenty of fish, easy access from parking to river, easy wading. Thanks WUF for providing this fantastic opportunity.
