Lovely day but little action.

One grayling - about 11 inches (released)

1 Grayling

Wonderful mornings fishing, on the fly down the beat, perfect take; 20lb+ / 45" long, large girth. Mr Ward has the fly. Returned to the water; safe and sound.

One of those days! Frost this morning put pay to any meaningful hatch the valley didn't warm uup till around 2! Very few olives even fewer March browns lost 2 fish on nymphs they were too quick for me lads! The fish are there they're just not quite sure yet.

Arrived at lunchtime after a spur of the moment decision to go fishing after seeing the glorious Spring sunshine in the morning. The river was more full than up and carrying a nice turquoise tint, the sun was still shining although it was to become a little duller as the day went on with a temp. of 10C. While the sun was shining there were a few Olives coming off so I desperately searched for a rising fish or two but sadly saw no surface activity all the while I was there, wanting to put a bend in my rod I opted to fish the deeper pools with weighted nymphs. I took two nice oos Grayling, one 15 inches and a small trout. By now it was duller and colder and the little bit of fly life that had been present earlier in the afternoon had now disappeared, I was getting hungry too so packed up and made my way home. This is a glorious place to be and I shall be back when it's a bit warmer, even if I did rip my waders again on the barbed wire!

Started the day with clear blue sky and rather chilly - but warming up during the morning. Intermittent cloud cover in the afternoon. Water was clear and temperature was ok, height was 0.32m on the Brecon gauge.
Lots of fish in the flats at the top end and also below the bridge. Managed to tempt two nice WBT off the top with small dry white/pale yellow may.
Got one using the "upstream/downstream" method. This is where you cast upstream and the fly lands behind you due to a very strong downstream gust of wind. Must try that again.......
Gate combi working ok.

Five trout to the nets, Olives and Iron blues. A nasty draft down the river for most of the day hindered presentation but patience and a few calmer moments helped us prevail. No Usk gold by any stretch of the imagination but AB finished his week end Usk experience with a grin.
