Lovely day to be back on the river with renewed optimism given the recent excellent catches. Salmon were showing regularly throughout the day - particilarly on the lower part of the Courtfield - although it was difficult to tell whether these were fresh or kelts out of the corner of the eye. 3 kelts came to flying c's one of which was around 40" in length. All were well mended, gleaming silver and swam off strongly. Don was as helpful as ever and kindly allowed me to fish the Wyebank beat as well. Can't wait to get back.

Too early in the season for the fish to be moving perhaps, which was a shame because there was a sustained, albeit light, hatch of LDOs(?). Nothing rising at all.

Blank. This was my first time on this attractive beat, although I live not far away. The weather was mild with some afternoon rain. Donny Macer-Wright and Rudy were both extremely helpful about the fishing and the water, and bubbling with enthusiasm about recent salmon results, the best in March from this part of the river in a very long time. I think it's fair to summarise that Courtfield is mostly spinning water (except for a fly section at the bottom end), while the neighbouring Wyebank is nearly all fly water. It didn't work out for me this time, although I had a long, slow pull on the fly at the bottom end which unfortunately didn't connect, and I saw fish move twice. I guess they must still be shuffling through. Altogether a very enjoyable day.

Both anglers blanked. Nice looking stretch of river but no real sign of any fish just yet. Will look to return when the weather improves.

A great day's fishing. Large Dark Olives about from about 11am until 3pm and caught four trout (1/2lb to 1 1/4lb) on a sparkle Dun. The best part for me though was a flush hatch of March Brown that lasted about 15 minutes only (starting at 12.30)which is something I've hoped to see but always missed on my annual early season trips to the Usk over the past 10 or so years. Even though I'm sure the trout were taking dark olives then as well I felt compelled to switched to a march brown to catch my 5th trout. It's a great beat. All trout were returned

No fish caught - despite the bonanza the day before - another case of should have been here yesterday. Had a couple of possible offers in the Stones/Island on the upper portion. A few fish seen moving elsewhere. Some lovely fly water here, I'll certainly be back.
