Bright sunny morning. Tried spinning and worm with no success.

Last minute evening session which worked well as it was a very hot sunny day. All fish on pellet.

2 Barbel, 5 Chub

Only one rod fished. All chub between 1lb and 5lb. Trotted meat from the croy. A good half hour walk from car park. Beat is well kept. Good access to pegs although some steep.

Other fish were all dace, chub caught on feeder with meat. Beautiful setting good access with car and easiest access to river on this trip having knee mobility problems

What seemed like a perfect night was incredibly quiet. Is the sound of crashing sea trout at one in the morning a figment of my imagination. Great to be out though!

Hot day only went for few hours in the evening

A busy day on the river, 29 Grayling and 5 WBT. I fished the length of the beat but found the lower half more productive and better access for fishing, nice runs and pools and lots inbetween on this section. First time in a long while that Ive had a double, this good sized trout in the picture caught on my lead nymph (Duracell) and a smaller trout on the dropper (PTN). KM

First time using the Fishing Passport and fishing on the Usk and loved every minute. 4 wild brownies (8ins) all on nymph all returned. Very few rises, so unfortunately no dry fly action. River clear, clean and with a good mix of pools and riffles. Warm day with a little breeze. Stayed in Llanerch Vineyard outside Cardiff so an hours drive but wonderful views of the Becons. Easy to use the Passport booking system, great directions and will book again.

One barbel of approx 8lbs. saved our blushes at last knockings. Was so hot that we really should have arrived at the river 6-7pm & fished when the sun was off the water, but travel arrangements did not allow this. Lovely day on the riverbank nevertheless. Almost constant slow hatch of 'uprights' to feed the sand martens & the trout. Two lazy salmon moving now & then. Late on there was a bigger hatch of yellow may's ( Sallies); Such pretty little insects ... glad to say some of these escaped the avian onslaught. I should imagine the river really comes alive at night in these conditions.
Thanks to all again.
