Back to the changing, changeless river ...

While nothing to compare with what the Open golfers had to contend with at Troon on Saturday, the rain had put a hint of colour in the water, and the river probably fished better for it. Steady progress throughout the day, with most of my fish on weighted nymphs. With the cottage not occupied, I was able to fish that section, and had a few fish - although, surprisingly, nothing from that oh so enticing pool immediately in front of the cottage

6 Trout, 20 Grayling

Spinning with mepps, not a lot of action. Caught one small brown trout. Beautiful river to pass the day.

No trout caught but a great day on a stunning part of the usk. Fished the upper beat. Drizzly day. Seen lots of WBT cruising but not feeding. Tried dries and nymphs but nothing taking. Passed again on way back from the cider mill about 8.30pm and lots of rising fish. Will try later in the day next time. Definitely will pay a visit before season ends in September.

3 fish caught on bottom using worm... All returned back safely as they were small.

Fished the evening after a day of drizzle and rain.
Stunning beat, flanked by ancient oak trees and mossy banks.
Wading is challenging, mainly bedrock and some deep fast pools, be extremely careful, take a wading stick.
Had five fish, nothing big, lost another four. Klink, PTN etc... Saw a salmon, or a large trout leap and the tail of Quarry pool.
Fished until dark, but didn't make it to the top of the beat.
The perfect beat if you like it challenging and wild. Probably the most unspoiled fishing I have had in the UK.
