Another afternoon livin the dream !!!! Perfect weather and river looking perfect too ... parked up at half twelve .... a few upwings on the go, but the fish didn't really get going till half two in fairness... although I did tempt some wanting an early brunch with a size 18 iron blue!!! ..... lively smash takes in the faster water ... some tubby fish today too in a bag of fifteen ... sizes from six to eleven inches .... feisty Edw scrappers too !!! Lovely job !!
As the mayfly and olives started showing more the fish were looking up big time ... used my usual six foot, two weight ... great for here to be honest ... just dapping the dry in the fast stuff got a response !! Short accurate casts today won the fish !! Well , most anyway, still some long range releases!! In fact quite a few ...lol !!!
Got out hundred yards past that plush house on the right bank..... a fab few hours ... was actually quarter past five when i got out !!@ loved the afternoon ... fantastic .... Time for a mooch down into Rhayader and a scoop in The Crown me thinks!!! Weeeeell , be rude not to hey !!!

Having only fished a river once with a guide (Dinas) this was my first foray on my own. To cut a long story short I caught ….. nothing! ???? I did see a couple of fish rising but not very many at even through there was quite a lot of insect life from about 1pm onwards. I’m sure my inexperience didn’t help.
The beat itself is really nice. Some of the entry points to the river can be quite steep and need to negotiated with some caution. Also I was thankful that I had taken a wading staff as I find this very helpful.
I’m sure a more experienced angler would have had more success but I can quite safely say the 300 mile round trip was worth it and I’ll be back to the Usk
