A very hard day was had, I caught a trout in 1st half hour and my friend had 2 grayling. This was a very hard beat but weather was lovely so it wasnt all bad. Seen about three or four small fish top all day and 2 mink in the bottom wier! On the whole a nice beat but only really found half dozen decent swims in the conditions. Think will venture back to the Usk next time. Paul

Blank. This beat is often kind to me in the early season, but not this year. I never saw a fish.

No fly, no rise, no fish. Caught fine ladie's, seven speed bicycle in good condition.

4 trout caught - 8-10 inches.

First time on this beautiful beat, and I look forward to returning in May. An unseasonably warm and sunny day, and a decent hatch of LDO's and March Browns in the middle of the day, but sadly, I did not see a single fish rise all day, and after several changes from nymphs to dry to wet, there was not the remotest hint of a fish.

3 trout all on dry olive patterns. Good LDO hatch 11 - 1. River low and very clear.

A beautiful place but I found it quiet in relation to fish activity. 4 grayling caught on a brown klinkhammer down off the planks at the lower end of the beat. Around 1.5lb each.
Not much activity in the evening when the magic hour brings them all up. It was made worse by my clumsiness falling in and getting soaked too! A wading stick is a must, along with spare clothes!

Great day but no fish.

Cracking Day weather wise but fishing difficult, hooked 2 fish on tungsten grhe in open water in first 6 casts & saw nothing for rest of day. Appeared to be decent hatch but saw only 5 rises all day. Easy fishing looked great. "must practise more". Surprised to see cattle standing in river no fencing.

Despite the warm, sunny weather there was little fly life apart from the occasional olive. So only 3 out of season grayling (10" to 12") on Kite's Imperial and snipe and orange spider. All fish returned in the water untouched.
