River with a little bit of colour (river level at Cilmery at 0.635m 0800hrs) but cold (air temperature was a chilly and overcast 9C). I caught one small grayling (on a sedge emerger pattern on a barbless hook) and three trout (two at 18", both on a generic mayfly emerger pattern on barbless hooks). All returned. I found the fishing very hard (I'm not a confident wader) and very cold when wading. One kingfisher seen!

3 Trout, 1 Grayling

River not too high but clear enough. Cold downstream wind at times but dry all day. Short hatch of March Browns at lunchtime. Fish caught on nymph, spider, and dry. A great day.

Cold downstream wind and little fly life meant fishing weighted nymphs, resulting in a nice 1.25lb Trout. Around 3pm there was a brief hatch of March Browns and Olives which brought some fish up, switched to Wet Fly and managed another nice fish of 1.5lb.

Saturday night accommodation was just up the road at the Usk & Railway Inn - highly recommend, excellent food and hospitality

Nothing caught or seen I am afraid.

Bit deep to wade at the moment had a good 15 minutes of rising fish

2 hours evening fishing - not a sniff and nothing showing

8 trout from 12 to 18 inches, with biggest two at about 2lbs. Lost several others (bigger) too. In fact, two each were caught on spiders, duo nymph, dry and French nymphing. A decent hatch of greenish olives at 1pm, then a good hatch of March browns from 2 to 3, with a 'feeding frenzy' of multiple, splashily rising fish about 20yards in diameter as the rise appeared to move upstream. Shows just how many fish there are in the river!
