Bright and gusty conditions contributed to difficult presentation and probably very selective trout. Apart from a nice 14oz Brown early on in the session that fell to a nymph and a few takes whilst overcast, all fish were taken as soon as the sun dropped below some of the high banks on the lower section of the beat. Very few fish rising some March browns hatching during the day. Increasing numbers of small Mayfly hatches towards the end of the session. Noticed alot of Crane fly? Six trout in total, three each. Apart from earlier fish, dry fly took better fish 12oz X 2 the rest were 6oz.

Touched a couple of small brown trout but the lovely bright day, low river made the fishing very tough. Stunning stretch though, perfect for a half day. The signpost first right after you cross the Usk no longer says Abercynrig but still easy to find your way.

Had a great first ever day on the Usk. Water seemed low and despite some hatches there was little in the way of any rises throughout the day. Fished a tungsten bead hares ear nymph for most of the day and had short periods of multiple bites and then long periods of no action. Should have landed more fish with the chances I had but caught a fish of 18" (around 2lbs) so was happy with the new UK PB WBT, stunning looking fish as well. Fish was safely returned along with all others caught. Will definitely be back later in the year.

All in all pretty cr*p again really, 8 hours fishing for the 2 of us, 1 bite and catch (1lb-ish rainbow) between the both of us all day. Using worm, trying both bubble and ledger, and using poly balls to float worms off the bottom, still nothing. Starting to become a waste of time and money fishing this place these days.

Sunny warm conditions but a bit breezy. Not much activity on the surface. Fished worm and spinner. Caught 1 trout using spinner.

Tough days fishing with bright and windy conditions. We fished from the lower limit and had a little walk about before we spotted a couple of fish rising. One fish of 10 inches was landed after a few different dry flies were put over him. The other fish rising were reluctant to come up to much of what we put over them. Later on a slightly bigger fish of 13 inches was caught on a tiny size 18 cdc. Plenty of fish missed and a very good fish lost in some fast water that also took a cdc. Lovely setting but maybe a good idea to fish during the week to avoid dog walkers and labs in the river!

A few fish jumping on Marle beds and the Point difficult to tempt. Has a large shad around 2.5 lb on flying C, lovely fish. I'll be back!

Nice warm day, few small trout all lost and 1 14 inch grayling to my daughter. Great day, water a little low but clear.
