A very large salmon leaped out of the water under the suspension bridge - looked to be in the 30-40lb class and slightly coloured.
Caught a beautiful brown trout on a black Flying C. Great accommodation at Old Mills - good food and kind hospitality,
thanks for recommending.

Fabulous conditions. Arrived Thursday afternoon and fished for a couple of hours on beats 3 and 5. Saw several fish but made no contact.Tried again on Friday with again fish showing throughout beat 5. John L, hooked up with a big fish tied on his own fly and lost it after a series of good runs. I think the fish we were seeing were travelling on and not interested but one did succumb to a toby on beat 6. A beautiful 17lb hen fish straight from the tide. Shame no other rods out to do justice to this estate. Will be back over the weekend before the canoes.

Stunning bit of river, especially when viewed from the the little park by the rapids. River, weather looked good but blank on the day. Spinning failed to produce any sign of fish; fly at least produced contact with something 'substantial' (but unseen) which was lost after 10 minutes or so. Concentrated on area below house where there is some very good access (esp, for spinning) though adjoining Wyebank stretch offers easier fly access). Many thanks to Don and his colleague (sorry, didn't get your name!) for the guidance, would definitely try Courtfield and Wyebank again.

Spinners trickling off the flats from late morning. Caught two trout, 8 inches and 12 inches on Klink and Kites Imperial but missed/lost others. Bit rusty, not fished for long while. Attractive beat - fished between bridges, will try other end next time...which will be soon!

Water coloured and cold. No sign of any fish. Beautiful location. Good supper at The Bell Inn.

Excellent days fishing on the Usk. 7 Brown Trout caught and released. 3 Dry Fly; 4 Wet Fly.
River conditions ideal after the previous night's rain. Weather overcast but still warm enough to instigate a good hatch in the late afternoon.
Overall a great experience aided by an excellent recommended WUF Guide in Oliver Burch.
