Extremely hot day but beautiful stretch of the river. We put back two brown trout of 10"and a few smaller fish caught in the faster water.

Very hot day - no salmon seen throughout.

Water levels low and and water clear. Even so surprisingly few fish rising in a steady mayfly hatch. Recent habitat improvement has made casting easier but speculation in many holes and riffles failed to yield the expected rise. Never mind it's still one of my favourite beats

Ecsley low and showing her bones! Dropped another inch or so during the day. Fly life was prominent – mayflies and olives, some sedges but also many diptera. Fish there but very spooky and never settling to regular feeding patterns – other than 1 12” brownie which was scoffing mayflies confidently and hammered ours. Come the evening a few mayfly spinners around but large numbers of olive spinners too – but the fish still lay doggo. Rain desperately needed. And the chippie in Eywas Harold does an excellent steak roll to end the day....

River low, clear, but in great condition, a truly lovely beat on the Usk.

Very difficult conditions due to exceptionally low water level. However, whenever the sun went in, fishing became much easier. All fish holding in fast flowing oxygenated water. Beautiful beat and I shall return.
