6 small trout and a 3-4lb grilse in the morning. A 15lbs salmon from infront the lodge at 2pm in the afternoon. The salmon was marginally bigger than those landed by the other rods who both also landed fine fish. A great day out.

Arrived at 6.30 to find a rod coming off the next beat with an 18lb bar of silver. River 0.92 on gauge but very fishable. fished hard till 5.30 with no success spinner or fly. Enjoyed andy's company for much of the day. Sorry I missed his fish. back on the river next week. A very enjoyable day. A caravanner made me a lovely cup of tea!

No salmon seen or caught all day. Probably the nicest Usk beat I have yet fished. I worked my way down the bottom half firstly and managed one trout (released), which took an orange Ally's. The owner had mentioned some salmon being in the Top Pool recently and I intended to fish there in the evening. A pair of otters had arrived before me and were digging for worms and splashing around right over the salmon lies so I called it a day at 8pm.

Water was still a little coloured but at a good level for the upper part of the beat. One salmon 15lb at the tail of Rock Pool on size 8 Boyo. Fish was a slightly coloured cock. Saw salmon in Ty Mawr above the Gravel Catch but did not meet any others. Very enjoyable day.

Nothing caught. Water still a bit coloured for the fly. A very nice stretch of water though, and wading was easy.

One caught by myself (trout rainbow). The grandsons caught 1 and the other caught 2 trout.

Water 2'2" on Llanstephan gauge and clearing. Fresh 8lber (no lice) from Leaning Willow mid morning on a smallish Usk Grub. Fish took 20yds above the boil in front of the hut, almost on the dangle. Latched onto another for a few seconds later in the afternoon in the tail of Spring Pool which came to nowt. News of 1 lost and 1 landed at Caemawr rounded off a very good day.

Three barbel (7lbs, 4lbs and 4lbs) and two chub (3lbs and 2lbs) - all caught on boilies.

Had a nice day on the river. Conditions were good and there was a good sedge hatch throughout most of the day. Fish were rising every now and again. Lovely stretch of water. Most fish caught were predominantly grayling but also caught the odd brownie. In total for the 2 rods that day, we had 26 grayling and 4 brown trout.

The river was carrying more colour than I was anticipating but cleared through the day. No fish touched, saw a couple of grilse right at the bottom of the beat.
