Booked both Dinas and Abercynrig beats. Water high and slightly coloured but fished dries only and had great sport on olives.

Our expectations were low due to heavy overnight rain and whilst driving to the beat. When we arrived the water was high but the clarity was fine. We started with beaded nymphs and had half a dozen lovely Usk brownies.
After lunch we there’s was a good hatch with many rising fish. We changed to dries and had a fabulous few hours catching quality brownies off the top. An unexpected but great day’s fishing on this lovely beat.

Very quiet on this stretch today .. little fly life about , highlights were signs of otters and masses of sand martins building their nests .

4 good size WBT (12" +) on olive pattern. All returned. Sporadic hatches of LDO in between showers brought occasional rises mid to late afternoon. Had to remind myself several times that it is the month of May as snow, sleet and hail swept in off the hills on a cold northerly wind.

Well my Usk curse is lifted !
Until today this was my nemesis, about 8 trips to various Usk beats and only 1 trout to show for it .
Arrived to a glorious sunny morning and bumped in to DJ from Tewkesbury who was the other rod on the beat , quick chat whilst we set up then off we went out separate ways .
A red letter day was waiting for me , 14 trout landed with I should think close on the same number lost or jumped ! Biggest a lovely fish of 2lb 2oz
Very easy access and will definitely be booking this one again
