A bit of a change this morning , needed a quick brownie fix, so opted for the Monkland beat ,knowing it's a bit of a jungle , turned up at about half nine , only had couple of hours so cracked on !! Nothing much happening on the slower water , but using the mandatory catapult casts , managed three nice feisty fish this morning!!!

The one side is much more fishable than the other once you get passed the weir, I fish the section nearest to the Leominster side, did see some splashy rises , and out off the three had one on a Parachute Adam's, the other two on a tiny tungsten nymph, with hot orange head !!

A real workout during the two and a half hours I was there, could do with a good bit of attention here , Shame really, as it's got scope to be cracking !!!

A fun ,but quick morning, three Arrow beauties to the net , worked up a bit of a sweat walking back to the truck!!! Still good fun though as always . . . . .

No luck today fished from about 0930 until 1700. Overcast and gusty. Did see 2 trout caught by 2 different anglers 1 on fly, 1 baited.
Lots of discarded line some complete with hooks and shot, looks like evidence of 'night' lines.

Thought I’d go further afield today. Very nice day out. Challenging fishing with it’s fair share of snags but very rewarding all the same. For such a small river this beat holds some sizeable, shaded pools. Lots of small trout, with 8 to net and same again away early. Also some seemingly very tame fish which led to some entertaining sight fishing. Only managed to fish the downstream half plus a tad today. Cheers WUF

My 3 boys aged 5 to 8 fished the Usk Reservoir fishing worm both on the bottom and by float. the only they caught around 15 to 20 small Perch ( don't know why these fish are in a trout fishery and who put them in) 4 guys around a hundred yards from us were also bait fishing and catching well( I was wondering what wonder bait they were using) as they seemed to adopt more or less the same methods as us.

We were both fly fishing I had a small browny (returned) and a small rainbow, my mate only had a 1lb browny (returned). It was our first time on Llwyn-On and we thought fly fishing on the reservoir was quite poor and hard going!

Great to be back by the Usk again!
Although I don't think of July as being the best month, the conditions were good. Started at 2.30pm, and nothing at all until about 6pm. Then caught a very fat 2lb trout on an upstream nymph in fast water, missed a second, and finally caught a third of about 1lb around 8pm.
Great afternoon!
