Blustery day with strong downstream wind. Water clearing after yesterdays rain.
Tried nymphs initially, hooked 3 small fish (about 12 oz) and landed 2, at the downstream end of the beat.
About 1pm went to top of beat to try dries.
Nothing hatching and no fish moving. Turning over the leader into the wind was hard work. Gave up just before 3pm with no interest whatsoever.

2 x trout 11 and 14 inches, Dark Moorgame and Waterhen Bloa. Water running a rich red colour, less than 12 inches visibility this morning although it was beginning to clear later. No hatches or rises seen up to 2 o'clock.

21lb cock fish in beautiful condition to Lukasz. His personal best salmon. The fish came to a black flying C and measured 98cm. The fish was caught from the Ross A.C. Weirend fishery.

River was running fast and dropping with some colour. Water visibility was about 30cm which meant reading the water and wading above knee height was tricky. Fished about half the beat and finding fish was challenging. Eventually found bouncing a weighted (4mm tungsten bead) nymph along the bottom Polish style tempted bites. Lost 4 and landed one trout and one out of season grayling both about 25cm.

A very nice stretch of water in a lovely place. It's not a particularly secluded piece of river but still very pretty. It's wild stream fishing with lots of overhanging trees so care is needed. Acsses to river is very good. No sign of any fish today no takes , no rises a little bit of fly activity. A very nice session but blank being the word of the day. Will definitely be back for another go.

Fished from 3.30 - very enjoyable afternoon with 11 coming to hand and missed a few more, up to 8inch. A slow start until I worked out that a nymph with a bright red bead was what they seemed to be after.

Evening visit to Tal-y-bont after work. Arrived at 6.00pm. It was cold, breezy but dry and fairly bright. Wasn't expecting much, but had 2 fish by 6.10pm – a good start. Action continued at a fast and furious rate, despite a brief interruption by some lads with a paddle board. Ended up with 15 fish by 7.30pm, with many more missed and lost. Most of them were around 3/4lb, but a good few were over a pound. One of the best evenings Ive had on the venue, for whatever reason they were 'on' – and not a rise to be seen.

The river was slightly coloured from recent rain and the weather conditions were good.
Despite that all the fish were hiding, and I had one of those days of knots & tangles where nothing seemed to go my way.
No fish caught as a result, but a nice afternoon spent on a pleasant stretch of river.

A very warm welcome from staff at Glanusk. First time fishing the Usk , unfortunately didn't catch a fish of any description.
River running fast and coloured not really fishable. But I persevered hoping the water would clear. I fished till 7pm but still fishing in brown water my chances of catching low.
I will be back and hopefully time it right next time.
