8 Trout

Sunny day with a clear lowish river and a downstream wind. Any flat water was difficult as the fish saw me coming from a mile away (I'm not very skilled) so the streamy/rapid sections were more productive. 1 very healthy trout with beautifull markings on a GRHE and 2 accidental grayling, both big males of about 2lbs also in fine condition. Sitting still under a tree I was able to watch trout up to a pound cruising in groups of 5 or 6 at the very bottom end of the beat in shallow water.Catching them was another matter. Good variety of types of water and plenty to keep you interested for a full day, thanks.

No catch water very clear, no fish seen on surface or anywhere else, but relaxing day.

An early session. Very cold early on, river steamimg for an hour or so after the sun got up. Started with a sinktip and larger fly, changed later on to a full floater and smaller fly. None of this made any difference. A beautiful morning however and no canoes before 11.40, some sort of record.

1 x cock salmon 32 inches on Black and Yellow tube. A nice fresh, silver fish, rather marred by partly healed gash on the shoulder. Sunny and quite warm, with some downstream wind to trouble the casting at times, but nothing like the very strong cold wind which has made trout fishing on the Usk somewhat difficult this week. Also a huge hatch of grannom sedge, bigger than I have seen this year - need to keep mouth shut!
