A lovely but tricky river to fish. Water very clear so fish were easily spooked. Saying that there weren't many fish around to spook, but fishing likely pools worked and landed 2 fish of a pound each. For the size of river it was nice catching fish of that size, both returned.

It probably was a decent day if it wasn't for a chilly steady northerly wind. We had 1 trout on nymph at the beginning of the beat then there was a hatch of olives at midday for about 1 hour which gave us few fishes of around a pound. After that the fishes stopped feeding. Despite covering lots of water we didn't have a single take on nymphs. I still need to decipher this river under the surface.

Beautiful location but where are the fish! My father, brother and I fished Penpont for two days beginning on April 23rd with only one trout caught between us all. We had a small hatch on April 23rd that lasted an hour or so and pricked the mouths of a couple of trout but brought nothing to the net. The next day between us we probably saw all of two rises on the river. My brother ultimately managed to bring a 3/4 lb brown to the net rigged up NZ style with the Klink and Dink just above the bridge. We fish a LOT and this is probably some of the toughest we've ever done.

My father, brother and I fished Fenni Fach on April 22nd with only one trout caught between us all. My brother caught a lovely 2lb brownie with his second or third cast of the day on a nymph pattern but otherwise it was tough going with plenty of wind and plenty of rain. We saw a few rises over the course of the rive including what may have been a salmon but the hatches were fairly sporadic.

No fish taken. Despite being three experienced river anglers we failed to catch more than one trout between us. The temperature had dropped suddenly after several warm days and it was cold. (Back to the car at lunchtime to sit with heater on.) There was a hatch of March Browns for a very short spell around mid-day when the one trout was caught on a dry MB pattern. I had fish rising around me in a pool but with plenty of naturals to feed on it was difficult to tempt them to my artificial. Other than that, no fish seen. Still enjoyable to fish the Usk in beautiful surroundings. Thank you.

A couple of hours early afternoon on the Llynfi. Water quite low and very clear, very cold air temp. A few sporadic hatches of what looked like iron blues but no fish seen at all. Would have expected a few fish but nothing on this day.
