Plenty of fish rising from 8/9pm onwards. Managed one small brownie and missed several others. Fish being quite picky.

We didn't fish today as the water was very low and decided to return home.

We both fished with Dry Fly and Emergers only. There were lots of very tricky rising fish but we got a lot more rises and fish on than the 8 we brought to hand. We had an excellent evening rise. Best fish 16''. Best flies- H/E Klink and Mayfly Klink.

All caught on a small PTN or a soft hackle dry. Lovely looking fish with the best 3 going well over a pound. Conditions? Well the river level was low to say the least and the sun was out nearly all day. This was my first time on the Usk and it was useful to find that the beat was really accessible and I liked the fact that there were a parking options, particularly as I was breaking in my new wading boots. A most enjoyable afternoon and evening.

River flow low, but good weather. 1 trout caught and returned.

Second consecutive evening. No fish. Small rises at heads of pools but not interested in my offerings. Tonight I tried a dropper rig, size 14 grey wulf trailing a brown nymph size 18. Nothing. Finally found a feeding fish in the lower beat but on the wrong side of the drag under the trees, behind a log!

Plenty of flies but no rises. Two nice trout on nymph nothing on dry.

Only fished the evening from 7.30pm-9.30pm. Very few rises and obviously small and weren’t interested to any May fly and smaller dry offerings or emergers. Will try again tonight with a nymph off dry. Any advise gratefully received!

Great access.
Struggled with the bright sunshine, however my son caught 2 and lost 5 decent trout at the net doing the euro nymphing technique.
Very few risers.
We shall return!
