Washed off

Nil caught. Barely a sign of a fish, but the day was saved by an extremely close encounter with an otter. Access is difficult for much of the stretch.

Didn’t fish

stream virtually clear of all fallen trees which made fishing very easy. I take it a work party has been out? stream looks great now. water on the low side and gin clear so spooked a lot of fish getting into position. not many rises so opted for size 20 - 1.5mm bead head nymph and hooked well over 20 with only about a dozen coming to hand. nice couple of hours

Took a chance on the Edw being fishable but could do with another day or two. Water level and clarity weren’t too bad but the water felt very cold after the storm. Tried various methods and ended up with a couple of trout on a streamer.
Heard my first Cuckoo of the spring which made the day worthwhile.

River clear and seemingly a good height having fallen from yesterday's high, but challenging fishing. Something of a reality check after a good start to the season on other waters! A lot of fly life and some rising fish in the afternoon - I had three takes (two of a dry and one nymph) but none was ever really hooked. Beautiful stretch of the Usk - and the Senni looked promising but even that couldn't save me from a blank!

Bronze spinner on far side (from a470)

Nil again!

Wind made life difficult. Plenty of hawthorn hatching by the old bridge pillars and fish responded as wind died down. Lots of fish showing just off the dam in the calmer water but impossible to reach!
