Spent a couple of hours at Dinas. Lots of small wbt popping the surface of the pools but never worked out how to catch them - we both tried everything in our box - patterns, sizes, method! Nowt!

Fish rising all day, just couldn't tempt them to either dries or wets. For some reason I find the Usk much harder to catch on than the Wye. I know where I'm heading next time. Nice enough beat though.

Very warm and sunny made it a difficult day for fishing.

couple of evening hours to try out new rod. Rose one fish. Lots of caenis and nothing in my box that small.

Cool upstream wind kept things quiet with only a few rises until around 5pm when it dropped off and flies hatched in enough numbers to get the trout feeding. Three trout between the two of us, (two about half pound and one at three quarters), all on different dries.
All fish released.

Three small trout through the day, and one nice one of about 1¼lbs next to the run at the very head of a pool early on, before the gusty wind got up. All on downstream nymph. I was hoping to try a dry fly, but saw no rises to speak of.

Very bright conditions this afternoon. Tried a number of tactics but only managed to tempt on lovely trout into the net

Lovely beat. hooked a few on nymphs but was waiting for dry fly hatch which didn't really happen as it got very cold and windy. I will be back.
