2C at 10am rose to 6C by end of day , so it was cold! Some sparse hatches of olives but few fish rose to them One 13” trout on a nymph.

Water considerably warmer than it was earlier in the week, although a lot less fly life with a stiff upstream wind. Fished nymphs under an indicator majority of the day with some good success. All 5 fish caught on a Howard Croston pattern. Took the dry fly rod for a walk but no rising fish seen.

I could almost cut and paste yesterday’s report. River a little high (11” on Brecon gauge) but gin clear. Bright and sunny all day with breeze from west later. Fished 11:00 to 15:00. No sign of any hatch or fish showing. Fished nymphs in the crease of the runs at the top of the beat and then dropped down to the deeper water downstream. Not a touch all day. Needs to warm up a little!

River was a touch high but clear the cloud cover forecast for early afternoon didn’t show so it was very bright all day that combined with the morning frost pretty much halted sport didn’t get a single offer or see any activity. Gutted for the opening day foray but that’s fishing

River was fast and deep but although tricky, not impossible to wade. the water was reasonably clear compared to the color below usk town. we fished fly only and hooked a couple of brown trout (5" and 8.5") both fell to a bead-head nymph. both returned. access was good and the land was well maintained with plenty of clear access from the bank. We did not see anyone else on the beat all day.
well recommended and will look to return next year

This is a lovely beat made up of long stretches of flat water and three sets of riffles. Today was cool with a cool breeze and a mix of sun and cloud. Very little hatching, certainly for most of the day, and almost no risers, so I headed for the riffles to find fish.
I caught pretty steadily, especially earlier when it was warmer, with at least half the fish being a pound plus. The day was crowned by a long fish of 2lb 3oz.
