Funny sort of day. Fished the river for about an hour and a local person said" there's no fish in there" I learnt than a silo leak from a farm had reached the river killing all the fish. Totally ignored it and carried on for another 2 hours to no catches or seen a fish. Went back to the car a man came from a house next to me and told me the same story. I hope it's not true but no sign of fish on a perfect day.

Another thought day, no activity at all, and river level is still dropping down. tried everything, dry, nymph, duo... just 1 decent brown trout caught on a dry fly around 5pm and another one missed suddenly after.

great morning hatch but sporadic rise, the heat of the day finished us off by 2pm. Great to be in the usk valley again in Spring. Two of the styles need urgent attention as they are rotten at ground level. all trout on upstream nymph

Caught one on para adams and one on klinkhammer. Missed 2 others (maybe I'm rusty from the winter). I probably could have caught more by nymphing but having just moved to the UK from US, and having fished nymphs all winter there, wanted to stay on top. Beautiful small stream with some nice runs and holes at this water level.

Beautiful day but very bright. Enjoyed fishing the pools but no takes.

Very beautiful day but bright. Small amounts of fly life only and occasional rising fish. Saw a mink on the far bank.

Very hot and very sunny with fish very hard to find. Thought I’d avoided a blank with a decent size grayling at the bottom of the beat but he/she dived under a ledge and broke me.

Very hot and sunny day. Water very clear . Eventually found a rising trout. Got him on a dry Greenwells glory. Length 16 inches, maybe 2lbs. Returned. Later I saw a trout that was bigger. He swam away.
