On the water from 10 until 3. All pools visited. One bite and one rise seen. Some heavy rain followed by sun but no hatches . Water fast and clear to about 18". Gurneys of Ledbury chicken and ham pie thoroughly recommended though. Look forward to trying this beat when the water is a bit lower.

Beautiful and varied beat, and sufficiently far up the Usk system to run reasonably low and clear even when the river is a bit high on the Brecon gauge.

Walked all the way to the bottom of the beat and immediately caught two good trout on orange tag tungsten nymphs just upstream of the bridge, one just over 2lb, the other just under. Fighting very fit! Proceeded upstream from there, and sporadic hatches of March Browns appeared on the some of shallowish flats around 1300-1430, but did not see a single rise to them despite watching patiently and carefully. Carried on nymphing and caught a further 10 inch trout. Tried spiders right in front of Penpont House at the upper end of the beat and had a pluck but no fish.

Caught 3 nice and big Rainbow trout of the bottom using worm. The weather was horrible, super windy and super cold which made fishing and catching a very difficult task. Never the less I am still happy about my success ????
