River crystal clear and running nicely, not much of a hatch and very few rises.

Bright day with a gusty downstream wind. I fished from early afternoon until dusk and saw a trickle of olives popping off at various intervals but only four rises. No fish seen and nothing taken on either dries or nymphs.
Saw one Goosander in the pool after the waterfall on the lowest part of the beat.
Beautiful setting and I will be back.

Well just as we all thought spring was here, the temperature dropped drastically! First time on this beat and wow what a stunning piece of water it is. Sadly today not many trout were playing ball. Nymphing produced zip nada, and just as I thought of packing up, there was a brief rise by a few fish in two pools to olives. The trout to hand was about 13 inches and I hooked two of a heavy size, both of which threw the hook. I will be back come May to give this a good go. The trout rose between 2.30-3.00 pm, with not a rise before or after.

3 beautiful fish; 15, 15 and 19 inches. all on 14 tungsten GRHE from fast necks. fantastic hatch of LDO in middle of day but couldn't tempt anything with any of my dry flies, loads of takes but fish very picky or sensitive to wading. great beat, will be back.

River quite clear, sporadic olives hatches during the afternoon but with only two fish seen rising with no pattern.
The upstream nymph method produced 4 lovely Usk brown trouts.
Very nice beat.

A fine day with sunny spells and cooler than the previous few days. Very few flies coming off and although we tried every method we could not entice any fish to take our flies.

Bright and sunny day - hot, in early April. No rising fish seen and little in the way of surface fly, but a nymph fished deep worked, with a couple of fish of 12 to 14 inches. River level low and clear.

Very difficult day. Conditions were ok but the fish were just not interested!

Windy day for fishing, mixtures of sun and rain, river risen after days of raning. Not much surface activity , managed to hold one trout - pound,no more. Fished only few hours, but I will come back for another day.
