Very difficult quiet day

First visit to the river Usk as have mostly been fishing the river Wye. As stated before the river is in need of a lot of rain to bring it up to its best. I did drive through the field as no sheep present and parked by bridge. Started bottom of beat and worked my way up. Some trout rising and did have a chance but missed to a fished KH side 10. Only action was at top of beat with the only fish of the day caught on size 10 jig black nymph which has been a winner recently. My biggest trout to date and was around 10/12 inches.

Fished from the outlet down to the bridge, hooked 3 on buzzer (2.30-4.30pm) but only landed 1 brownie approx 20cm. Very hot day, crystal clear and water low so lots of rocks and snags but a few deep pools.

Lovely day on the river but we only caught a little Salmon parr between us

Lovely day and setting, but gushy wind made fishing difficult. Lack of rising fish or sight of fish also didnt help. Had two plucks of PTN.

Unfortunately the river is very low and not suitable for fishing.

Fished 9 till late. Fished only Dry Flies of which Hares Ear Klink, Adams and Fluttering Caddis were best. Best fish 16''. Great evening rise after 8. Had many opportunities to rises and fish on.. Enjoyed sharing the river with 2 Otters, many Ducklings and Sand Martins and Swallows.
