Second visit of the week on the Usk and weather slightly overcast and breezy. I knew the river was on its knees but again started at bottom of beat. High sticking again with grhe & Black nymphs which were taken by 3 trout but all lost. Finally managed to hook and land a very welcome trout which made up for the frustrations of the day. Access to the bottom part of the beat could be made safer and also the top access point needs work, however didn't spoil the day even though after patching up my waders they still leak.

First time fishing this beat so was unfmiliar with the stretch.

The moring was very windy and I was fishing the lower section using a Tenkara rod which in hindsight was not the most appropriate method for the conditions.

In the afternoon I fished the upper section for around 3 hours using nymphs catching 4 and losing 2 (one being of a decent size). The largest fish caught was around 11" and the others were between 5-7".

Apparently the reservoir was stocked with 700 fish on Tuesday 2nd June.... they must have been perch.

Bright sunshine, strong wind and lack of hatch made for a hard day. Sat it out until 10pm but no real rise.
