Hard going ,mb hatch 40 mins and over,managed 2 on drys (small). Rest on tungsten nymphs in fast water,up to 1.5 lbs.
Lots of pools quite ,but we need rain,possibly on summer level atm. Low and clear, 15 ft tapered Leader a must.
A guy was spinning above the bridge when arriving but soon walked up steam on seeing me,seems to be a fair bit of poaching on this beat,last time there was 4 boys spinning on opposite bank.

Cold. No hatch. Walkers and dogs everywhere. The beat looks great but I won’t fish it again on a Sunday. Fish to blind dries in the riffles

A small hatch at 11 am made a few fish rise which then saw me loose three in a row before the net. Lucky I managed to land 4 nice trout in between loosing another couple. They fight hard here for their size and seem very good at throwing the hooks. All were between 10-13 inch and caught on the dry. I had my best luck targeting the slack water alongside the faster sections, also the shallow riffles were holding fish.

Another lovely day, though quiet in terms of surface action. The only hatch occurred between 11.30-12.15, and accounted for half the fish caught. No fly thereafter. The rest were caught prospecting with a duo. Successful flies were March Brown Jinglers and emergers, Pinkhamers and Duracell nymph.

Warm but windy. A few fish rising. Fish within 1 to 1.5 lb range. A couple of long range releases. All safely returned.

A great second day on the Usk. 20 plus trout on the dry jingler (15 foot tapered leader) fished in the streamy water. Hatch wasn’t as prolific as previous day but fish rose steadily from 11.30 to 3.30. Quite a few missed too!

Good day
All fish taken during (sporadic) hatches. Nothing doing the rest of the time …
