River was high and coloured after plenty of rain the following day and night, but cleared up in the afternoon and produced two really well sized brownies on little grey dead duns.

The Usk was heavily coloured this afternoon & I contemplated heading elsewhere.... However I decided to give the streamers a go. It turned out to be a red letter day with 20 odd fish to the net! Countless number of takes, follows & fish that threw the hook. Great fun.

Well with Mrs A working till about three , I saw on the met office app that later on weather improving , so that was the green light to get out there and fish a beat for a couple of hours !!!!

Gave The Lyonshall beat of the Arrow a bash this morning , parked at the bottom bridge , looked pretty racey and a bit coloured but kitted up , what the hell , and got going . . . .

Things were pretty hectic , and as I slipped into the river by the bridge , further up was a splashy aggressive rise to a mayfly , yeeeeeeeeeees I thought , Danica is gracing us on a blustery day like today , Great stuff !!!!!

The glides between the two bridges were the best sport today , close in , hammering the Mohican mayfly , and during the time I was there , eleven till two ish , managed to bring to hand seven crackers , really feisty fish , ranging in size from seven to twelve inches maybe . . . . I fished perhaps a hundred yards up from the second bridge and then called it a day at about two o clock , a fun few hours , even with the river up and a bit coloured , spot on !!!!

Some fish slipped off the barbless hook and had a few long range releases , the annoying breeze was frustrating , and why is it the wind is always a downstream one when your fishing gggrrrrrrrrr!!!!! The river will be back to normal in a couple of days , although I was happy with the sport this morning , it's a cracking beat , back soon , nice start to the weekend !!!!! Happy days !!!!!!
