Not much insect life. One or two rises but no luck.

One good fish, pound and a half, caught on a cinnamon sedge.

A very difficult day on this beautiful beat . A strong easterly wind persisted with bright sunshine , very little fly life and no fish rising . We enjoyed the day in the fresh air and had plenty of exercise .

Hoped a day without blazing sunshine might be a positive, but a sudden temperature drop and gusting east wind were there instead. The fishing picked up only when the sun came out for half an hour, and I caught a couple of fish on black spider, one at 20”.

Another day in paradise! Finally broke the duck and managed two 12-inch butter-bellied brownies on a march brown in 20minutes in the middle of the day. Hatches are over nearly as soon as they begin but was in the right spot at the right time.

Another day with bright sun and a low and clear river. Had most success on a pair of heavy nymphs run under an indicator through the deeper runs and riffles. Although olives were hatching all day nothing was rising to them. Finished with 3 brown trout landed (best 15 inches) and 2 lost.

Absolutely stunning beat, water level was average and the weather was perfect. Still hard going with minimal rises although sporadic March Brown and Olive hatches. Hooked one large slow-rising fish but frustratingly lost at the net. Third trip to to the Usk and still nothing landed!
