I had a beautiful evening fishing this wonderful stretch of the Usk. Yes access is tricky but not impossible. I'd advise the use of a stout wading staff on the banks with quite a lot of clambering to be expected. This river is absolutely teeming with trout, many of which seem to be some considerable size. Despite careful presentation of a dry fly I could not induce takes on the slow moving shallower sections where trout were freely rising to sedge (I think?). From 7 onwards things got more exciting and after many takes missed I managed a beauty of a fish (around 2lbs) on a black parachute fished upstream. My second of the evening was on the same fly fished across and down into a run that was clearly teeming with fish.

Weather hot two small trout in morning on nymphs and one larger in afternoon on a klink. Access on river Bank not easy.

Very tough. People playing in the river. Someone worming. Nothing rising. Just one small trout

no fish caught weather too hot and bright.

Lovely stretch of river, great fishing in the evening. Between 10AM and 5PM the boat traffic is too heavy, particularly on a nice weekend day, hundreds of craft on river. Fish late, if you can, at about 7PM it will switch on and the barbel will be queuing up for it.

nice beat, no joke about needing studs/felt soles.
One WBT on a hares ear just by the bridge pool.
lots of swimmers/people in inflatables going down the river.
