Low water, no hatch, no real activities on the surface. Having said this, it is a beautiful streach. I enjoyed the day off on the river.

Two trout of 8 inches, both on GRHE. One caught downstream of the bridge, the other further up. Caught both fish in the morning so thought I was in for a good day but was unable to hook up again. Enjoyable day on this lovely beat.

Lovely place to fish unfortuately no fish caught. Water still very cold and nothing really moving or showing

Bit difficult to get ino fish some areas, as banks were steep and very slippery even with studded boots

As said lovely beat and will return in warmer weather

Battled up a beautiful little river with many lovely pools. Saw several decent trout. Caught a small Chubb and lost a nice brownie. Lovely day all in all. The only sadness was a lady farmer who got cross because we were on her land and should have stayed in the river! Good value day out.

Nice place. Bad weather wind and a little cold. One Trout 22cm. Few flies because the cold and wind. I will be back with better weather.

This is a lovely peaceful stretch of water. No-one about at all and it was lovely to see the signs of spring all around. The water was very low but it was a glorious day. I lost one trout in a riffle mid beat.

After a cast or 2 on the Severn in the morning we arrived mid-day, to low cloud, driving rain and a strong cold wind, we must be mad we thought! The rain soon eased off, even the cloud lifted a little but the wind wouldn't give up. Fishing was slow, the odd pluck here and there with the odd one sticking. Nothing over 6oz but great to be up there again. Will be back to this great spot on a warmer day!

BLANK! Nonetheless a lovely part of the Usk and lots of wildlife around. I was very alarmed however to see such a thick biofilm and algal growth on all the rocks. Yes the water was low and sunny, but far too much algal growth for my liking and not what you expect on the upper Usk. The river is obviously getting substantial nutrient enrichment from somewhere. The sewage treatment works at Sennybridge a possible source?

WUF note - We have passed this on to Natural Resource Wales and they are going to sent a team to carry out some water testing in that area.
