Four fish over 2lbs; one wetting. Fallen tree near top end needed some deep wading to negotiate. Lovely water but very slippery under foot! Out of interest no salmon seen or heard.

Lots of river to fish but only caught in 2 swims. Beautiful surroundings easy access, will return here for another crack at it, enjoyed our day.

Another unbelievable day at one of our favourite beats. The fish are a lot more cagey at this time of year and it was a struggle to hold them for any amount of time. We both had the centrepins screaming on one occasion which was something to remember!!
Fish caught from different areas on the beat.

Had a great morning with my grandad, we were done by 1pm with our limit caught, I've been fishing the usk on and off since I was a kid a good 20 years or so, and this was one of the best outings.

River quite high and more coloured than on my last visit. No hatch to speak of and so few trout rising. Caught 3 WBT on PTN, all returned in good condition.

River running relatively high and a blustery wind made matters interesting. No sign of WBT. All Grayling in very good condition. One my PB of around 1.75 lb. All caught on gold hare nymph. No rises.

I chose the Honddu because it offered some shelter from the promised south-westerly gale, and that worked out well. The NRW river level at Tafalog was suggesting a decent water level - but it was lying, the river was desperately low and I should have paid attention to the more recent catch returns from the Monnow system. I fished through the whole beat in 4 hours but the only fish I saw were the two small brownies I caught on nymph and the one rise which I missed - despite a decent smattering of sedges and upwings of various types.
